Are you a lawyer who would prefer reading Pennoyer v. Neff to redoing your resume? Or maybe you’re fine updating your resume but haven’t been getting the traction you’d like to in your job search.  

I get it.

As lawyers, most of us consider ourselves good writers – and we are. But our advocacy skills don’t always translate to certain types of writing or storytelling, especially when it comes to resume writing and self-promotion as related to the job search.  

That’s where I come in as a neutral third-party who will help you identify what’s working and what isn’t. I’ll ask you in-depth questions with an eye toward eliciting the parts of your career story that would transfer well into your target roles. I’ll then take that information and transform it into a clear and compelling resume that will get you closer to your dream job.  

Why me?  

I’m a Duke Law grad who’s made several transitions within the law – from big law associate to public defender to boutique firm and more. I had to rewrite my career story multiple times and doing so effectively allowed me to pivot back and forth between private and public sector practice.

Also, as a legal recruiter, I gained an insider’s knowledge as to what employers look for in candidates. And I saw time and time again that the candidates who marketed themselves well were the ones that landed coveted roles.

Why G&G?

Yes, credentials matter. But so does your career story and how you tell it. When you’re in the job search, you’re marketing yourself to a specific employer. You want to show you have the grit and the gravitas (hi business name!) to excel in the job, whatever that job might be.

Let’s get you where you want to go in your career. Whether you need resume and/or cover letter writing, interview coaching, or job search strategy help, Grit & Gravitas has you covered.  

The best part? You know you’re getting the same Type A dedication from me that you put into your own work for your clients (or if you’re a student, those dreaded final exams). I always do in-depth preparation for all client consults and collaborate closely with you to ensure a final product that showcases your unique story and value. But don’t just take my word for it.
