I recently graduated and was looking for help in branding myself in the best way possible. After gaps in employment and a late finish of my college degree, I was overwhelmed with options, the process, and recognized how much job hunting has changed over the years. Couple all that with trying to narrow down what I wanted to do and feeling unsure of what might be a good fit for me - I needed help!
Talking with Jenn the first time was easy, she was excited to help and was open to anything I needed. The best part about Jenn was having someone to talk to and encourage me when it got difficult. She kept me on a positive path.
I ended up with multiple job offers and because of her help focusing in on the type of work and the environment I wanted to be in, I felt confident taking the job I have now - which I absolutely LOVE. After the fact, I feel like I have made a friend and she has already assisted with some areas of my new job. I am forever grateful for the experience!

"she got to the heart of my struggles..."
At first the idea of booking a career coach was daunting; I had so many questions, I wasn’t sure where to start or what I needed, but I decided to work with Jenn because of her background and experience in HR. Working with Jenn completely changed my outlook on the job search process; she got to the heart of my struggles, and gave insightful feedback and practical tips on how to make my materials stronger. Not only did she come to our meeting prepared, but it was clear from the first 10 seconds of our conversation how much she loves coaching and talking all things careers. Her energy and enthusiasm kick started my drive to find something I’m equally excited about—I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely work with her again. If you’re thinking about hiring a coach, don’t hesitate!
Before contacting Jenn, I was feeling uncertain and insecure about where I'd ended up in my career. I was so upset about how far off track I'd gotten and how far I was from realizing my potential.
Before reaching out to Jenn, I spent 17 tireless months looking for a new job without success. I lost sight of what I wanted in my career and had NO idea how to get it.
Jenn helped me reset my mindset and create space to invite in a new path. She supported me in reflecting and figuring out the top industry I wanted to make an impact as well as the types of roles that generated my energy.
From there, we refreshed my personal brand, prepared a thoughtful networking strategy (that was comfortable). We practiced telling my story and accomplishments in a way that resonated with hiring managers.
Within THREE months of working with Jenn, I received not one, but TWO job offers!
I’m feeling clear, confident, and charged! This has been an incredible journey discovering and rebuilding myself.
Thank you for believing in me when I lost my reasons to.

"Jenn helped me realize that I needed a whole new approach to my job search."
Addie, Minnesota
I was feeling pretty hopeless about my prospects of getting a job. I felt like my resume was just being sent to a void and never even seen, or it wasn't connecting with recruiters and HR in the way I needed it to. I was applying to several jobs a week, or even a few jobs a day, and not getting anywhere with it. The constant grind of rejection was beginning to wear on my mental well-being.
Jenn helped me realize that I needed a whole new approach to my job search. I only knew what I didn't want to do, but I had no idea what I actually wanted in a job or in an organization. I've never had someone sit down with me to figure out my skill set and my interests and help me merge those things into career options.
Jenn changed the process from me applying to any and every job into me setting myself up to be recruited for my dream job. I think everyone should do this kind of consultation at some point in their careers. It should be a class in school!
“Jenn, first and foremost, I cannot begin to thank you enough for all of your help and guidance. Without it, I don't think I would have had the clarity, strategy, or confidence to secure this job. Not to mention the numerous tips and tricks surrounding LinkedIn and building contacts. You are truly an incredible coach!"
Doug
AHHHHHH!!!!!
I got the job offer!
"Prior to working with Jenn, I had no experience in the corporate world. I felt doubtful and questioned whether it would even be possible.
Jenn was inspirational; her guidance was focused and targeted on exactly what I needed. She is organized and helped me stay on track; her recaps after each session are especially helpful. Jenn is supportive and super fun to work with! And the best part, I got the job — it’s like a dream come true!"

I got the job!
it's like a dream come true!
“I was hesitant going into this but Jenn was beyond what I expected. She was genuine, enthusiastic and it is obvious she just loves ding this work. I will definitely reach out to her throughout my career for advice.”
Kevin
I think I found a mentor for life!
“Over the past few months I have been very humbled by your bright spirit, unconditional compassion, and your amazing support. And you were only helping me — a complete stranger — with her resume and job search strategy.
Thank goodness for you, I am so grateful our paths crossed.”
Jen
I am so grateful our paths crossed.
“Jenn, you created magic with developing my personal brand — it feels like me and I am now excited to showcase my experience to employers. I never could have done this myself, thank you for seeing potential in me and for helping me communicate it in a professional manner.”
Cristina
you created magic with developing my personal brand!
Before I started working with Jenn, I was in a place where phrases like this were running through my head, "this cannot be my life; I have better earning potential than this; I will not waste another year; the two-year mark after my divorce will find me able to support myself and live freely." But I didn’t know where to start, so I contacted Jenn.
Jenn is my career soulmate. Since receiving my new resume and implementing our job search strategy, I feel supremely empowered and very employable! My resume sparks joy! I could not believe that this was ME on paper. Jenn listened to me and captured both my professional accomplishment and my essence in such a way that gives me confidence. I love her format and details that add that something extra. Jenn is personable, a consummate professional, an excellent listener, and she exceeds expectations.
I used the motivation and career tools from Jenn to singularly focus on a position and company that met my work and life requirements with ZERO compromises. After only applying to one company, I got the job! I was able to relocate to a new city, and best of all, I am waking up blessed each day! I am very happy, and you will be too.

"I received an 81% salary increase —
it’s truly life-changing!"
I knew it was time to move on with my career, but during the job search process, I found that many job descriptions seemed to either have tasks I don't have expertise in or were things that I didn't want to do.
I had concerns about changing sectors and wasn't sure how my skills would translate outside the nonprofit world.
I wanted more from my career but lacked confidence and direction, so, I contacted Jenn for help.
Jenn helped me identify my priorities and the specific details about my next best company and role. Then, after reflecting on what I wanted, I researched companies that were a fit for me. This was a game-changer. I would never have identified my new company without this approach.
After four months, I landed a new job! It fits my priorities, has room for growth, and I get to work with like-minded, compassionate colleagues. The role incorporates exactly what I want to do. It's a remote position with their main office in NYC (my ideal location). AND I received an 81% salary increase — it's truly life-changing!

"...together we crafted a strategic career change strategy."
I had been teaching for 20 years. While I loved working with the kids and watching them learn and grow throughout the years, I was ready for a change. I wanted to serve the students in a different capacity. However, after teaching for 20 years, making a change is scary and risky. So, I reached out to Jenn for support.
Jenn was a great listener and she asked thoughtful questions to help me navigate a career change. After our initial conversations, I decided to apply for a Human Resources Recruitment Specialist position in my school system. She provided help identifying my transferrable skills, gave me detailed feedback and suggestions on my resume, cover letter, and together we crafted a strategic career change strategy.
I was elated when I was called for an interview! Jenn helped prepare me for a first, and then a second-round interview. She helped me anticipate potential questions and practice thoughtful responses. I’m so excited to announce that I got the job! I am now a Recruitment Specialist in my school system. Jenn is a hardworking, sincere person with many years of experience and expertise. She is fun and easy to work with – I highly recommend her for support when making a big career change.
