“I got an offer from the Santa Clara County Counsel’s office in January and am starting in March. I’m super excited and really appreciate all of your help with the interview prep…. Thanks again for all of your help. I really appreciate it. It made a challenging process much more manageable. – Tom B. (Big Law partner transition to government role)

“I have had a wonderful experience working with Judy. I found her as I was attempting to transition to an entirely different field without much success. Within three months of Judy’s rewrite of my resume and linkedin profile, I had received two offers in my desired field. I highly recommend her services.” – Laura G. (Government prosecutor transition to in-house role)

“I just wanted to let you know that I was recently offered a great in-house position and will be starting there in May. I applied for only a handful of jobs after receiving my resume from you. That yielded requests for interviews from 3 different companies almost immediately. I was actually scheduled for a second interview with 1 company when I received [an] offer. My only regret is not contacting you earlier in the process! Thank you so much for your help.” – Ellen S. (Law firm partner transition to in-house role)

So far, I’ve received one offer … and four additional invitations to interview. I had one interview this past Tuesday [major Philadelphia law firm], and I wanted to let you know that one of the attorneys I met with specifically mentioned that she was extraordinarily impressed with my resume. She said that the format was one she hadn’t seen before, but loved, particularly because of the unique way it highlighted my experience and skill set. She even asked my permission to share a copy with her friends who are currently looking for jobs. Just wanted to thank you again for your work and let you know that so far, it’s working well!! – Jennifer G. (Law Firm Partner & Litigator)

I highly recommend Judy for her exceptional responsiveness and attention to detail. She was instrumental in helping me land a role in the tech industry by creating a resume that effectively communicated my qualifications and experience. Her quick communication and willingness to make necessary revisions allowed me to apply to job postings with confidence and ease. Her industry-specific knowledge and formatting expertise helped my resume stand out from the competition. Overall, I highly recommend her services for anyone looking to advance their career in the tech industry. – Alex G. (Transactional Attorney)

Judy is such a skilled resume writer. I actually reached out to Judy in 2015 while I was still in Law School, but for some reason I did not end up going through with the decision. Five years later she came to mind and I decided to follow my gut and pay for her services. And I am so happy I did. For 10 years I could not find a meaningful job. I went through so many sites and worked with so many “resume writers” to no avail. It was not until I worked with Judy that I finally got hired in the field of my choice. One thing about Judy’s process that stood out was that she took her time to talk to me and ask me about my work experience, which no one had done before. When the final product was complete I was ecstatic. My resume completely reflected my experience and expertise in such a way that it made it impossible for anyone to ignore me. They say resumes are what get you in the door, so I encourage anyone reading this to invest in themselves and pay what is necessary to open the door. You will not be disappointed. – Olori A. (Transactional Attorney)

Judy was great to work with; she was quick to respond, friendly, and most importantly, knowledgeable about job searching in today’s modern world. The end result was a great, revamped resume that lead to getting job interviews and ultimately, a new position. I would recommend her work to anyone in the legal field.– Melissa S. (Senior In-House Litigation Counsel)

I have had great success with Judy Monaco’s services. She is an excellent listener and really “gets it” when you discuss what type of job you are seeking. She is a very gifted writer who expertly tailors your resume and LinkedIn profile to fit a particular position’s qualifications. I hadn’t updated my resume in many years and went to Judy for a complete overhaul initially. She did an excellent job and I secured a new General Counsel position within two months of her resume re-write. The second time I worked with Judy several years later was even better – the job offer came in within one month of Judy’s carefully crafted update. I like very much that she is also a seasoned attorney who fully understands the legal job market. I can’t recommend Judy highly enough. If you want quick, ultra professional assistance, then look no further. Judy is the best.
– Donna C. (General Counsel)

Due to a merger, my position as VP/General Counsel was made redundant and I was asked to accept a reduced role. After researching several executive resume consultants with a specialization in the legal field, I was introduced to Judy Monaco. As a former practicing attorney herself, Judy immediately impressed me with her knowledge of the legal marketplace and her ability to focus on what was important to me in securing my next position. She is far more than a resume writer. As her profile indicates, she is a career strategist, and that’s exactly what I needed as I looked for a comparable legal executive position. She is extremely well-versed in social media and the role it needed to play in my specific search, and she quickly grasped the type of position I was interested in. One of Judy’s great strengths as a resume writer/career strategist is avoiding a generic, “one size fits all” approach. She clearly understood the legal executive/general counsel market and how my experience needed to be uniquely positioned for the opportunities and industries I was interested in. I should add that she is extremely responsive via email and phone, answered numerous questions intelligently and confidently, and delivered her work product quickly and accurately. I would strongly recommend Judy Monaco’s services to any attorney and legal executive seeking to transition into a new role.”
– Alan P. (General Counsel) [Update: Hired as SVP, GC, Secretary to new company several months later]

I had engaged Judy to assist with the revamp of my resume and LinkedIn profile. She utilized a proven and timely process that was professional, thorough and collaborative. I was most impressed with her skills and expertise, coupled with her willingness to take input and share valuable insights and perspectives throughout the engagement. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish!”
– Matt R. (Sr. VP & Chief Marketing Officer) [Update: Accepted new position as SVP within weeks]

If you are looking for a new career opportunity in this competitive marketplace, Judy is a wonderful resource. She has a wealth of knowledge about where to find new opportunities, including how to market your expertise on LinkedIn. In addition, Judy is a pro when it comes to putting together a resume that will highlight your skills. She also knows how to create a text copy of your resume that will sail through the electronic screeners many companies have in place so you can have confidence your resume will be read. Bottom line, Judy’s expertise lets you focus on practicing law and working in business while she helps with the mechanics of your job search. I highly recommend Judy Monaco if you are looking for new job opportunities.”
— Stephanie H. (Public Company Counsel) [Update: Hired as Executive VP & Counsel several months later]

I sought out Monaco Writing and Consulting Services after becoming discouraged by my inability to secure interviews with preferred targets. After working with Judy Monaco to upgrade my resume and cover letter I received interview requests almost immediately.”
– A.S.H. (VP & Division Counsel)

I have been at the position our last revision was tailored to for almost a year now; thanks again for your efforts – I would certainly consider it a success!”
– Vincent S. (Corporate Counsel)

I reached out to Judy as I was in the middle of a career path change and was finding it difficult to bring my transferable skills to light in a clean and creative resume. Not only was Judy able to rework my resume, she helped me to discover traits and qualifications that I did not know I possessed. My new resume has proven effective in not only securing interviews, but also bringing me new confidence in my own abilities. I would recommend Judy’s services for anyone thinking about making a career change!”
– Dan G. (Sales Associate) [Update: Hired as an Account Executive 2 months later]

Judy is absolutely amazing! I needed help building a resume that collected some dust over the years and she far exceeded my expectations. We collaborated together over the course of just a few days and I’m extremely pleased with the results. Communication with Judy was outstanding and she always made herself available. Highly recommended!!
– Matt B. (Marketing/Sales/Operations Executive) [Update: Landed new position as VP Operations within 3 months]

Having contacted Judy is by far one of the best choices I have made in my life. Even though we are thousands of miles apart, considering I am a Mexican attorney, and the only way we could communicate was through email, she was able to understand how I wanted my résumé and she tailored it according to my specific professional objectives. I couldn’t be happier with how my cover letter and résumé came out. Thank you very much Judy!!”
— Daniel C. (Oil & Gas Attorney) [Update: Secured new position as Head of Legal Dept. within months]

I am very happy with the resume you prepared for me. Since I started using it, I have been called back twice for [General Counsel] interviews.”
– Paula B. (Sr. in-house counsel) [Update: Accepted new position several months later]

I recommend Judy Monaco to anyone who is designing their resume for a job search. Judy was quick, responsive and easy to work with. Her questionnaire and interview technique brought out information from my career that I discounted, but Judy brought out the value in every aspect of my career. The resume Judy designed was far better and more descriptive of my career and experience than any resume I would have put together. I found a position within six weeks of using the resume Judy developed.”
– John M. (Estate Attorney)

Judy did a fantastic job revamping my resume to maximize the experience that would be most appealing to employers and to present it in the most effective format. Given that employers spend an average of 6 seconds reviewing your resume, this is crucial. The difference was night and day. She took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted to convey and had my resume ready to send to employers in just a few days. Judy is truly a leader in her field, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”
– Jessica D. (General Counsel) [Update: accepted new position within 3 months]

These materials and the draft resume are awesome! Thanks so much for all of your help. Just what I was hoping for.” “Wanted to update you that your help was very valuable and landed me a new position within my company.”
– Christine G. (Sr. Sales Manager)

Judy has done a superb job – I barely recognized myself! I’ve been delighted with her work and as a result I’ve been approached to work for a large accountancy firm.”
– Joel D. (Attorney)

Everything looks great! I am so excited about using my new cover letters and resume.…you did an awesome job. Thank you! I am very impressed by the work that you did. Thanks to you, I had several interviews outside of my current employer prior to me changing positions.”
— Stacy D. (Government Attorney)

Judy, thanks! I am happy with the outcome and you were great to work with. I had an interview about two weeks ago at another [company]. I am grateful for your work, it is far beyond anything I could’ve done myself.”
– Karin S. (Sr. in-house counsel)

After months of applying for positions with little success, I had an interview within a week after using my new resume crafted by Judy. With over 20 years of legal experience, I needed an effective and easy way to communicate my years skills and experience. Judy delivered! I would highly recommend Judy! – Lisa A. (Senior Employment Counsel) [Update: accepted new position within 8 months]

Thank you very much for the cover letter you composed earlier in the winter – it landed me a few interviews and I ended up securing a position…so I certainly owe you a lot of gratitude for drafting such an impressive cover letter!”

Judy has done an amazing job and with her help I got a new job and a promotion with an amazing company. She is very professional and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend her. Thanks Judy”
– Casey S. (Leasing Agent)

Judy was very approachable from the first contact. She was very professional, honest, and very confident of the quality of her job. During our first call, I was able to confirm that Judy was the right person to work with me. My experience with her confirmed everything that I read on her website, reviews, and much more. Judy’s knowledge of the legal profession and the job market for lawyers makes her a unique resource for legal professionals looking to market themselves successfully. Every document prepared by her was of the highest quality, and the timeline of her work was even faster than expected. Judy was very responsive and diligent at all times. I am so pleased with Judy’s work that I cannot stop talking about it.”
– Emilio SR. (Litigation Attorney)

I can’t tell you how much more focused I feel in terms of interview prep after our session… I felt a lot more confident going into the interview. Our prep together and continuing to refine my stories helped my anxiety a great deal.”

WOW! I would have never gotten to that point alone! Let me just say, that I would hire me!”
– Michele R. (Sr. in-house counsel)

It is my pleasure to recommend Judy Monaco. She is a talented and wonderful career & resume consultant who transformed my varied and eclectic working experiences into a cohesive and organized accomplishment-oriented resume. Judy was patient and accommodating; always managing to pull every detail from our conversations and utilizing our limited time by phone to the fullest. I am quite happy with her work – she is a consummate professional who’s legal expertise and superior writing skills were the catalyst for producing a brilliant end product for me. Thank you!”
– Kristen L. (Government Attorney)

Just wanted to express how thankful I am that you helped me. I spent my whole academic and professional career working hard so that I can stand out in a crowd of very talented people. It only makes sense that my resume should stand out as well. Now, it does! You did a great job…I LOVE the new resume. It is so fantastic!.”
– Spencer SP. (Law Firm Partner)

Judy is a true pro in her field of writing and consulting.

— Colette S. (Transactional Attorney)

Judy offers a variety of services, but one of the most valuable is the ability to provide a holistic approach to resume’s, on-line presence and targeted job applications. Judy takes the time to gain a clear understanding of a client’s strengths and career goals, and translates them into a consistent an compelling marketing program.”
— Bill E. (General Counsel)

My resume and cover letter both look fantastic. I could not be any more pleased with your work in repositioning my personal brand. Given that I am transitioning to a new function in the investment industry, I really needed help in emphasizing certain areas, while simultaneously de-emphasizing others. Great job and thanks again!”
— Andrew L. (Investment Manager)

I cannot say enough about how much help Judy was to me. Her availability, her willingness to answer any questions and her determination to find the best way to take what I had to offer and make it sound much more positive and professional was what I really needed. Once I had my resume I felt poised and confident to pursue the job search knowing that I was putting my best foot forward. I highly recommend Judy to everyone who is serious about bettering themselves.”
— Ed B. (Sales & Marketing Manager)

Thanks so much for all your help. You’ve truly been a tremendous help and such a difference from the last 2 resume writers in terms of the work product.
