You gave me clarity and confidence — not to mention the actual résumé and LinkedIn revamps. I ended up with multiple offers and landed at [elite boutique], and I am absolutely loving it here.”
- Lawyer returning to the U.S. market
Read More“The impetus for this work had dual purposes: first, my CEO wants to be sure I stay on board as we prepare for an IPO and following, and second, I need to know my ducks are in a row if the board decides they want to replace me. I want to stay, but I feel much more at peace knowing my story is ready in case I need to leave, by my own hand or someone else's. Jared, your approach to résumé writing and especially to the sensitivity around LinkedIn, is exactly what I've needed.”

Read More“Shauna, you set my career set up for launch! You helped me realize that I need to know what I want, helped me understand the distinction between a legal specialist and generalist -- and that I'm a generalist. Since we talked, I had the opportunity to grow my team and it's been really cool. Now I've just accepted an opportunity reporting directly to the GC of [NYSE-listed cloud computing company]. The first thing the GC said to me at my interview was, 'OMG, your résumé was amazing. I've seen so many résumés, but yours does a great job of showing impact, not only individually but also as a team. Usually I have to work hard to tease it out, but yours just jumped out.' I also want to mention your tip about using our networks to get past HR was really important. HR wasn't interested in me. But my contact got my résumé in front of the GC and an hour later I call the call to interview. Shauna, you are a genius.”

The work that you did on my LinkedIn profile optimization and résumé proved to be extremely valuable. I ended up with two offers and went into final rounds at several other places.

Also, the creative process of talking through the résumé drafting with you was great interview preparation because it helped me to think of the best ways to present myself.”
