“
  • Efficient and extremely helpful is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about my interactions with Jill. She offers her clients insights that aren’t obvious and are very insightful. My business interactions with Jill left me wanting for nothing. She is very through and pays attention to deliverable time lines. I truly do look forward to working with her again. Simply put I highly recommend Jill for any task that you may need help with.

    David S

  • I highly recommend Jill as a Human Resources Consultant and Career Coach. She took the time to get to know me, listen to my experiences and what my goals were in my dream job. I struggled with how to show that my self-employment evidenced my skills as a social worker, and she brought them out wonderfully in both my resume and cover letter. She is thorough, thoughtful, creative, and genuine. She leaves the door open to reach out when I have a question and is the best cheerleader when you share of a challenge, an interview, and accomplishment. I do not hesitate to recommend Jill and her services. 

    Dori D

  • Jill has been extremely helpful helping me prepare for a new career. She helped me create a new resume and cover letter, she encouraged me to set up a LinkedIn account and gave me suggestions on websites that I can look for employment. Jill checked in with me regularly and coached me how to interview. I highly recommend Jill.

     Jennifer M

  • I hired Jill for her full suite of services. She gave me really good advice about improving my resume and LinkedIn profile. Once I implemented her changes, I felt much more confident. Her cover letter template streamlined my application process. Jill’s coaching improved the way I prepare and approach each interview. I highly recommend all her services.

    Stephanie S

  • I had the pleasure of being part of the HR team with Jill at FCN. She was always flexible whenever I needed to change things around and was always very approachable. Jill has a calming presence and listens attentively. She always has an eye for the details, but is able to keep focused on the big picture. I would recommend Jill for any Human Resources position – she has a wealth of experience!

    Kerry R

  • I sought Jill’s career coaching talents after being laid off from a 14-year tenure with one company. Losing a job during this COVID-19 pandemic was overwhelming and I found it incredibly challenging to figure out where and how to start seeking new employment. Jill came to my rescue! She successfully updated my resume and developed a cover letter to fit my skillset. Most importantly, she provided guidance on improvements to my LinkedIn account to attract employers/recruiters and others to view my profile. I found Jill to be very perceptive, proficient, and highly skilled in her profession. I am extremely pleased with the results. As I now navigate the job market, I will continue to seek Jill’s services to attain a position that fits my career goals.

She is supportive of her clients and giving of her time and resources to build their success. She follows the Career Coaching process and is not afraid to deliver straight information to her clients. As a problem-solver by nature, she is often the “anchor of reality” which her clients deeply appreciate as they attempt to focus on their next job. Jill provides balance and sincerity at every turn and I completely enjoy working with her.
