“I had the privilege of attending your résumé workshop [in 2018] and it was absolutely fantastic. Your advice changed not only my résumé on paper, but also the perception I had of myself as I consider a non-academic future. Considering your extensive experience in helping PhDs transform their résumés, self-perception, and sense of confidence as qualified and desirable job candidates (which I personally experienced!), we think you would be an invaluable speaker at two of the events we are planning [for 2019].”

- Event Co-organizer [file titled Nice words for the Presenting Page] [don’t know date]

“You've found a really nice way to summarize where I am which opens the door to the future. Thank you for everything you do. It's so important and so meaningful. It's not just about getting ready to do a thing; it’s meaningful and transformative to me. So thank you.

“Every time we do this I am so impressed. You are amazing at how you can message what I say. How you take the bullshit out of my mouth and make it into something. Wow, how do you do that?"

- Katie Wells (don’t know date)

“After having gone through so much of the résumé process, it was asking the right questions. There's a lot to it.”

- John Canning (don’t know date)

“This is an incredibly self-aware questionnaire. It has given me self-confidence. You have figured out my career capabilities much better than I have. It’s why I want you to mentor me. This is the best half hour spent so far. I felt like that every time, but this is the one.”

“Jared isn't just a résumé guy. He's also a strategist and a profile builder.”

- Nice words from can’t remember

“I have valued this journey and your sage advice so much. I have learned so much about myself and the value I bring to my work. I’m not going to say goodbye because I know this will be a long-lasting relationship.”

- Berenice Nuss

“The JDA is amazing how well it's helping me clarify my thoughts. It's super interesting how that all comes together.“

Will Horn

“I love how you can make lawyers sound so sexy. Writing is such a craft and such an art. What you have written is beyond beautiful. How do you do that? I have goosebumps. I'm dead serious. I'm going to roll up my résumé and sleep with it, it's so good!”

- Berenice Nuss

“I got offered a job! I took it! I get to go back into FinTech. They want to IPO and I get to be their GC.”

Berenice Nuss

“You have helped me clarify in my head. I was really lost when I came to you. As I reflect on it, it’s a versatile set of experiences.”

Matthew Spiegelman

“It never gets easier because you truly personalize it. You never use things over and over again.”

- Julia Ahlquist

“You kept saying, ‘Don’t give away your power.’ I wouldn’t have had the confidence or the direction to do this without you.”

- Julia Ahlquist

“The coaching is what I really appreciate. The tactical side of what I need to do has been surprisingly difficult. I really appreciate your help with the struggle of noshing through the emotional burden that comes with it. This is the professional development that I haven't done for myself. In fact, I've actively denied myself of it.”

- Christine Mastandrea

“It is amazing how you create an opportunity and a space for me to notice myself and my contribution. The way you ask questions and pull things out of me is invaluable. I so appreciate you using this gift this way. You're breathing new life into me to bring new ways for me to contribute.”

- Nicosia Gooding

“You don't understand what this revision process has done! I was just offered the position of Senior Vice Chancellor of Legal Affairs and General Counsel at a major university with over 60 campuses and a staff of 60. You are part of the process. I don’t think they would have looked at me at all if my résumé wasn't tailored to my work.”

- Anita Cisse-Green

“I find myself so easily able to discuss my sweet spot, which is not only what I do well, but what I want to do going forward. That's not something I knew, let alone could have articulated four months ago. It's your questions and the fact that we have to commit this stuff to writing that makes the difference. Your questions and insights help me develop an answer. It becomes written and then it sticks in my brain. That's who I am! That's a brand!”
