you have captured my essence

“The more I sat with the résumé and worked with it, the more I liked it. I feel that you have captured my essence and presented my accomplishments in a way that gives me confidence to move forward. Thank you! And oh my gosh, I was impressed with the cover letter. It does what a cover letter needs to do. I’ve already contact all my references and sent them my new résumé. It has been a real pleasure working with you!”

You’re totally saving me.

The way you re-did my résumé was fantastic. You’re totally saving me. You’ve saved me hours and hours of work—and I still never would have gotten there on my own. And the cover letter is fantastic too.”

- Global business development executive for some of the world's best-known tech companies

Before you worked your magic, there was almost no interest in me...

“Hi Shauna! So far, things are going well and it seems like a very good culture. It’s very much a start-up, so things move very fast! I wanted to thank you so very much for the wonderful work you did advising me and revising my resume. It really made all of the difference in the world. Before you worked your magic, there was almost no interest in me, but afterward, I started getting numerous inquiries. I had several recruiters say ‘I love your resume’ in that it made their jobs so much easier in explaining my background. I have had Board members start their interview conversations with me by saying ‘You have a very impressive background.’ So I am very grateful to you and have already recommended you to several in-house attorneys for advice as they consider future job opportunities… As you can see, I am a big fan and so appreciate your help and support.”

- Vice President and Chief Counsel in technology sector

Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.

“I thought the CV was a great document. I really liked it, and now I understand the difference between a résumé and a CV. The more I read it, the more I realized how well it reflects my career. When I came to you, I wanted something that made me less a ‘senior manager’ and more executive suite. The document does that. This really does that. And, like I said, the document was well received by executive recruiters. I’m very pleased with the work, and I really enjoyed worked with you. Now that I look at the résumés I’ve had professionally written in the past, I’m dissatisfied with them.”

- Former General Counsel of $1 billion entertainment company

Mine looks like it was done by a third grader. Yours looks like a master’s thesis.

“I’m feeling really good [about the CV]. I would have never thought to do this myself, but I like the format and it positions me well. And I’ve had friends in HR look at it…. My experience with you has been extremely helpful. Being able to talk things through, and really dig down deep to consider things I haven’t thought about. It was a really good exercise. This whole process has been educational and exciting. When I look at my original [CV] side by side with yours, mine looks like it was done by a third grader. Yours looks like a master’s thesis. This résumé opens me up to so many other opportunities. I wish I had met you and gone through this process years ago. I keep wondering how many opportunities I’ve missed out on over the years.”

I really like the language and imagery
