About Me

Hi there! So I know the job market is rough - like REALLY rough - right now. You're dealing with ghost jobs, 8 rounds of interviews, and getting knocked out by the ATS before you can even talk to recruiters. It's beyond maddening. I enjoy working with clients who are feeling a bit lost with their job search, then coming up with tangible solutions to get back on track. And these solutions will be personalized to you, so you'll feel much more confident in achieving them. I have 10 years of corporate recruiting experience, mainly in tech (healthtech, fintech) and consulting (McKinsey, Accenture). However, I've worked with many Career Contessa clients across different industries and roles, so I'm a bit of a chameleon that way! If you've ever wondered, "How do I impress a recruiter?" or "How do I stand out amongst thousands of applicants?", I can give you that insider knowledge! I believe that women should be paid competitively and what they're worth. I excel at salary negotiation and believe that negotiation starts at the beginning of the interview process, not at the end. Sometimes you just need extra support to believe that you can land that next job. I'd love to be your cheerleader! How I can help you: -Resume Advice & Strategy -LinkedIn Profile Advice & Strategy -Interview Prep -Salary Negotiation -Career Transitions -Networking Strategies

My session with Jenny was insightful and productive. She gave me some immediately actionable feedback regarding my resume and LinkedIn profile and gave some advice about how to get noticed by hiring managers in this tough job market. While I haven't landed a role yet, the second attempt at implementing her feedback actually landed me a first call with a recruiter! I plan to re-book to do a practice interview.

I decided to meet with Jenny because I was having difficulty (and anxiety) determining how to position myself in the job market, what types of jobs I would most likely be interviewed for, and how I could best use my time and energy for job searching. Jenny pointed out some trends in my career experience that helped me focus my resume. She also kindly but pointedly gave me some hard facts that I wouldn't otherwise have known, and she sent me off with an action plan. I feel much more confident in my direction after meeting with her, and I am very grateful. I would highly recommend meeting with Jenny for help determining a career search and resume strategy.
