Dear Hiring Managers & Recruiters,

It’s 2025.
We can send a rover to Mars,
use AI to write code,
and 3D-print a house in 24 hours.

But for some reason…
we still can’t put the salary in job ads.

Here’s the thing:
💡 Job seekers shouldn’t have to guess if a role can cover their bills.
💡 Salary transparency saves everyone time.
💡 It builds trust between employer and candidate before the first interview.

Every week, I hear from professionals who:
→ Spend hours applying to “dream jobs” only to find the pay is far below market.
→ Get ghosted after asking about salary.
→ Feel undervalued because pay is treated like a secret.

Putting the salary in the job posting isn’t just “nice to have.”
It’s respect. It’s equity. It’s the future of hiring.

So let’s normalize it.
Post the salary. Every time.

Please share this post so more companies get the message. Should salary be part of the job description?

Elvi Caperonis, PMP®

I used to take rejection personally.

Every “no” felt like a verdict:
❌ Not smart enough.
❌ Not ready enough.
❌ Not enough.

But here’s what I learned after dozens of rejections —
Rejection isn’t always a dead end.
Sometimes, it’s a redirection.

A signal from the universe that you deserve:
→ More alignment.
→ More purpose.
→ More respect.

That “no” you’re facing today?
It might be the space being cleared for your “yes.”

Because the job that ghosted you…
The client who passed you over…
The opportunity that slipped away…

They weren’t the last chance.
They were the wrong fit.

Now, I help professionals rebuild after rejection,
and step into roles and businesses that finally feel right.

Have you ever been rejected and landed a better opportunity?

Some people will only notice your value once you stop offering it to them.

I’ve been there, sitting at a table where I gave everything I had.
My ideas.
My energy.
My best work.

And still, I felt invisible.

I kept showing up, thinking consistency would earn clarity.
But all it did was teach me this truth:

“Some people don’t understand what you bring to the table until they see you at another table.”

I've learned that early in my career.


Here’s what I learned about knowing when it’s time to move on ⤵️

1️⃣ You’re always proving your worth.
If you have to explain your value over and over, you’re sitting at the wrong table. 
The right one recognizes contribution, not justification.

2️⃣ Your ideas are heard, not implemented.
When others get credit for what you built, it’s time to invest your energy elsewhere.

3️⃣ You’ve stopped growing.
The wrong environment doesn’t challenge you, it contains you.

✅ What I did instead:
→ I built my own table.
→ I surrounded myself with people who celebrated my progress.
→ I stopped asking for a seat, and started creating the space.

That decision changed everything.

Because when you choose respect over comfort, your career — and confidence, start to rise.

💡 Save this as a reminder: You don’t need to fight for a seat when you can build your own table.

I pray you land your dream job offer this week!

Job searching is one of the biggest tests of resilience you’ll ever face.

After facing 100+ rejections and helping hundreds of professionals, I’ve learned patterns that can completely change how you approach the search.
Here’s what I wish more people knew 👇

Because let’s be honest…
Job searching doesn’t just test your skills, it tests your patience, confidence, and sometimes even your hope.

I know how hard it can feel.
The self-doubt.
The ghosting.
The quiet mornings wondering if your next opportunity is even out there.

I’ve been there. And I see you.

Here’s what I’ve learned through experience 👇

1️⃣ You are not your job title. Your skills and value don’t disappear with a role.
2️⃣ Shift rejection into preparation. Update your resume, refine your story, keep moving.
3️⃣ Level up while you wait. A new skill, certification, or book can shift your entire perspective.
4️⃣ Talk to yourself kindly. You’d never call a friend a failure, don’t do it to yourself.
5️⃣ Rejections are redirections. Use them to improve yourself.
6️⃣ Your network is the main plan. Don’t just scroll, connect.

Say hi. Comment. DM. Show up.
Your next opportunity may not come from applying, it may come from a conversation.


Your dream job offer is coming soon. 💫

I’m praying for you, may the right door open soon. 🙏

Years ago, I remember scrolling through LinkedIn and seeing people share their wins:
→ New jobs
→ Speaking gigs
→ Book deals
→ Clients pouring in

I was happy for them, but I asked myself:

“Why not me?”
“Am I falling behind?”
“Will it ever be my turn?”

I wasn’t bitter, I was just tired.
Tired of doing the work and seeing no results.
Tired of clapping with empty hands.

But something shifted when I stopped treating other people’s success as a threat.
I started treating it as evidence.
Proof that it was possible.

So I clapped louder.
Not out of obligation, but out of hope.

Because if it’s happening for them,
It means it can happen for me.
And if I can celebrate others in their moment,
I’ll be more than ready when mine arrives.

Today, I don’t scroll with envy.
I scroll with belief.
I know my turn is coming, and when it does,
I hope you’ll hear the thunder of the people I clapped for…
clapping right back for me. 🙌🏽

→ Who’s someone you’re celebrating today?

If you have been laid off, this is for you.

Your value does not change based on your employment status. Take this time to reinvent yourself.

Order my NYT bestselling book: itsjennywood.com/book. WILD COURAGE: Go After What You Want and Get It will help you get seen, get heard, and get ahead.

Join 70K+ others who read my newsletter at itsjennywood.com/newsletter. It’s full of free tips to get what you really want in life.

18 years ago, I was an anxious, entry-level employee at Google. 

Then I chased my future-husband off the subway and gave him my number.

That moment made me realize the life I want won’t just happen to me. 

I have to chase it. And so do you! 

That mentality led me to become an executive at Google running a large operations team that helps drive tens of billions in revenue a year. I also founded Own Your Career, a large career development initiative at Google with tens of thousands of people benefitting.

After climbing the ranks from entry-level to executive, I realize something. What if the traits you need to get ahead are the exact opposite of what you’ve been told? To be successful you need to be:

Weird
Selfish
Shameless
Obsessed
Nosy
Manipulative
Brutal
Reckless
Bossy

And that takes courage. Wild amounts of it.

So I wrote a book! It’s called, WILD COURAGE: Go After What You Want and Get It, and it became an instant New York Times bestseller. 😮

I’m so excited for you to order it at itsjennywood.com/book and be more bold, persuasive, and successful. 

Follow me for advice to achieve your goals and get what you want. Unapologetically. 

The opinions I state on LinkedIn and other public forums are my own, not those of any past or present company.

Always speak to everyone like they know something you don’t.

Because they definitely do. 

You can learn from anyone if you keep an open mind. 

Titles, job functions, status? 

They don’t matter. 

💡 Everyone has nuggets of wisdom to share. 

💡 Every conversation is a chance to uncover something new and valuable. 

💡 Showing genuine interest in others makes them feel valued and heard. It’s a win-win!

Stay curious, and you’ll be amazed at what you learn.

You’ll not only level up personally and professionally but also inspire others to share their brilliance. 

What’s the best lesson you’ve learned from an unexpected source?

New York Times bestselling author. Keynote speaker. Former Google exec. Former Harvard Business School researcher. Founder, Google’s Own Your Career Program.

How do you include and value introverts at work? 

Here's one way.

Don't assume everyone speaks to think.

Recognize some think to speak.

And not everyone wants to share ideas verbally. Some might prefer to share them via ping, slack, or email.

Example:

❌ Ask during the meeting, "Who wants to volunteer to lead our 2023 strategy? Please raise your hand."

✅ Say during the meeting, "We need a volunteer to lead our 2023 strategy. Please take this week to consider if you are interested and email me by Friday."

The second way includes diverse communication styles and preferences!

If this was helpful, share ♻️ it with your network and follow me, Jenny Wood, for tips to thrive personally and professionally.

Stop “just showing up” to your boss.

For your weekly meeting with them don’t:

❌ Come unprepared
❌ With no topics
❌ And no agenda

Do this instead:

✅ Update a shared doc with three sections: Business, Team, Career
✅ Write bullets under each; if you have 10 bullets, narrow it down to 5
✅ Include links to slides, docs, spreadsheets, analyses, or emails you’re proud of 

Once you’ve prepared, send it to your manager.

In that email, share the high-level bullets of what you have on your more detailed agenda.

This takes 30 minutes not 30 seconds. That’s why I always had a half hour blocked before each 1:1 with my boss when I was at Google.

You should too.

In fact, sometimes I would spend two hours prepping for my weekly meeting with my manager. And you know what? It was always time well spent. It helped me move projects forward, synthesize the most important initiatives, and left an ongoing paper trail of artifacts.

Your boss’s perception of you matters a lot. Why leave it up to chance?

Stop “just showing up” to your 1:1s.

Want to talk career growth—not just project updates—with your manager?

A coaching client came to me furious last week. 😳

Her boss was ignoring her messages, showed up late to 1:1s, and looped other decision-makers into projects without telling her.

She wanted to confront him: 

“I can't work this way. Do you have feedback for me? What am I doing wrong?”

I stopped her.

That conversation would’ve TANKED her career. 👀

Here’s what nobody tells you about dealing with a difficult boss:

Even when you’re 100% right that they’re the problem, making it about your feelings makes YOU look like the problem.

Flip it. Center THEM. Center the BUSINESS. Stay POSITIVE.

This isn’t being fake. It's what I call “savvy authenticity.”

Here’s the reframe I teach my coaching clients:

❌ Don’t say: “I feel frustrated that you’re not responding.”
✅ Do say: “What would a win look like for you on this project?”

❌ Don’t say: “I think you don’t trust me.”
✅ Do say: “How can I make your life easier this quarter?”

❌ Don’t say: “Why do you keep changing things?”
✅ Do say: “I want to make sure I’m aligned with your priorities. Can we sync?”

When you shift from complaint mode to leadership mode, you stop looking like part of the problem and start looking like THE solution.

Save the venting for your best friend over drinks.

With your boss? Stay positive. Stay focused. Stay strategic.

That’s how you turn a tough boss into an ally.

And that’s how you get promoted.

If you've ever laid awake at 2 am mentally reviewing all the ways you're falling short...

If you've ever felt guilty for working while also feeling guilty for NOT working...

If you're exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone...

My friend Amanda Goetz wrote a book for you. 

Toxic Grit is OUT NOW, and it's the book I wish I'd had years ago.

I used to be constantly busy but still felt like I was dropping every ball that actually mattered — especially the personal ones. 

The worst part? I thought it was just me. 

That I was somehow failing at the juggle everyone else had figured out.

Then I read Amanda's book Toxic Grit and realized: 

We’re playing by the wrong rules. 

Amanda shows how we all play different "characters" throughout our day — CEO, Caregiver, Creative, Partner, Friend. But we're trying to be all of them at 100%, all the time. No wonder we're exhausted.

Her framework helped me see I don't need to bring CEO energy to bedtime stories. I don't need to be in Caregiver mode during my focused work blocks. 

Each role gets its time, its energy, its presence.

Amanda gets it because she's lived it. Built multiple businesses. Raised kids. And she’s figured out how to stop the burnout cycle that traps so many of us.

Her book gave me something I didn't know I needed: 

Permission to stop trying to be a superhuman and just be human instead.

What separates a good career from an exceptional one?

It’s not more effort. It’s not luck.

It’s the experience you create for the people around you.

My brilliant friend Neen James, MBA CSP has a new book out today — Exceptional Experiences — and it’s a masterclass in how the world’s best luxury brands create unforgettable moments.

But here’s the thing: you don’t have to be in luxury to use these lessons.

✅ The way you lead a meeting.
✅ The way you deliver feedback.
✅ The way you make clients or colleagues feel seen.

Neen’s five “luxury levers” apply anywhere you want to stand out — whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, or simply trying to be the person people remember working with.

If you care about creating excellence that feels exceptional, this one’s worth your time.

Exceptional Experiences launches today. Check it out at ExceptionalBook.com.

Great news for readers in the UK 🇬🇧

This isn’t another “grind harder” career book.

It’s a wake-up call for ambitious professionals who are done waiting for permission, approval, or the “right” time.
