About Me

I love helping young women navigate their careers. Why? I was once in your shoes and know how tricky it can be to navigate your career. I listen to my clients and help them connect the dots of their career to articulate their career aspirations. My career started at a personal finance website where I became a personal finance reporter. As it was a growing startup, I learned sales, event management, marketing, editing, operations, and fundraising. Currently, I am the Senior Digital Marketing Manager for HR Consulting company Mercer. Formally, I was the Associate Director and millennial career expert for career brand WORKS, which is part of Private Equity and Marketing Startup Incubator Loeb Enterprises. I'm a trained career expert who works with brands to create career content, spokesperson platforms, and sponsorship programs. After spending nearly a decade in the editorial and marketing space working with Fortune 500 companies, I know how to create influential marketing platforms that connect to millennial consumers and generate media awareness. As a millennial career expert, I've secured several guest spots on Fox & Friends and have landed coverage in Forbes, Glamour, USA Today Business Insider, Men’s Health, Refinery29, Fox Business, and Yahoo! Finance. I frequently speak at career and leadership conferences. Most recently I spoke at the Conference for Women and the NY Small Business Expo. I work with professionals to help optimize their resumes and LinkedIn profiles as well as provide career coaching and drive our business development. Every professional has their own unique career objectives for improvement but here is a list of my most popular topics: • Revamp Your LinkedIn Profile • Effective Ways To Network Online & Off • Going from Graduation to Full-Time Job • Resume Review & Restructure • Professional & Personal Branding • Insider Interview Tips • Switching Careers • Becoming a Freelancer • Career Preparedness and Career Confidence. • Dealing With Annoying Coworkers You can learn more about me at JillJacinto.com

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jill Jacinto for a career coaching session, and from the moment we started, Jill was incredibly insightful and supportive. We covered a range of topics, including career fit and strategy, which helped me clarify my goals and direction and give me a little more confidence. One of the highlights of our session was the actionable feedback she provided on my resume and portfolio. Her suggestions were practical and easy to implement and could make a significant difference in how--and if--potential employers react to key points in my resume. Jill also offered invaluable advice on how to tackle the dreaded question, "Why did you leave your last job?" She helped me frame my response in a way that feels authentic and confident, which has alleviated some of my anxiety around interviews. Overall, my experience with Jill was extremely positive, and I left the session feeling empowered and equipped with the tools I need to move forward in my career. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging career coach, I highly recommend reaching out to Jill Jacinto!

Jill was warm, knowledgable, and organized. She shared a ton of useful tips and insights during our session. Once I do some homework, I plan to book a follow-up session with her.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Jill! After my video call, I felt a renewed sense of direction and clarity regarding my career transition. Before jumping on our first call, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to navigate a significant career change. Jill provided not only expert guidance but also a supportive and encouraging environment. Her approach is both insightful and practical, which is crucial for me as I begin to explore a new career path. What truly stood out was her ability to tailor their coaching to my unique needs and aspirations. She took the time to understand my strengths, passions, and goals, and helped me craft a personalized action plan that made the transition feel manageable and achievable. Her guidance on resume building, education/certifications, and transferable skills was invaluable, and I now feel well-prepared to start my journey.

I initially signed up for one session with Jill to discuss a career pivot, not knowing what to expect. Within the first 10 minutes of the call, I knew I wanted to work with her long-term. She had clearly done her research on me and my business and came prepared with several strong ideas and suggestions. I hired her for five more sessions immediately after our first call. Together, we revamped my resume and LinkedIn profile, reviewed and edited cover letters, and spent a lot of time discussing my specific career pivot. I found immense value in each session and enjoyed checking in with her each week, knowing I would gain more insight. She made me feel valuable as a candidate and more confident and prepared for my job search ahead. Jill is a great listener, highly intelligent, experienced, and incredibly supportive. I plan to continue utilizing her as a coach throughout my career. I have recommended her to all my friends and can’t recommend her highly enough to this community!
