I transitioned out of the Army after serving for 20 years. I started as an Infantryman, traversing the country and the globe.

I bring a blend of creativity and ingenuity to source and recruit talent while matching the applicant's needs with that of the organizations. At the heart of recruiting, it's a people business and I strive to ensure that those within both my internal and external networks are valued, creating a positive candidate/applicant experience.

Let's connect!

Jennifer’sJobs, LLC

I founded and have managed JennsJobs since June of 1999'.  I solely did executive recruiting for my first twenty years successfully. I LOVE recruiting. 

I added a service to my business 5 years ago that helped the senior level job seeker secure their next right role. The response was enormous. That's all I do now. I charge a one-time upfront fee and support that job seeker until they have a new role guaranteed. 

Previously I conducted professional searches and placed professionals nationwide.  I love to build out teams or to find that missing link within a team. I have worked in many different industries, nationwide. I worked with an accelerator as their director of recruiting as well during this time. And loved every minute of that work. The startup world is exciting and a great place to learn about so many things. I have helped many well established brick and mortar companies over the years, as well. I enjoy the hunt involved in finding business opportunities and finding the perfect candidate(s) for my clients. I love helping job seekers find their next role. It’s important to me to ensure the perfect next step for every candidate I work with. As well as to find the ideal candidate for every client. Over the years I have met and worked with many individuals who have become close friends and business partners now. Give me a call to see how I might help you!  760.845.0000 or jenn@jennsjobs.com

Atlas Accelerator

Atlas Accelerator is the oldest and largest venture accelerator in the US. Our business is unique. We provide early-stage technology companies with staff in finance, accounting, HR, software development, marketing, and sales in exchange for equity in their company. We have worked with over 250 companies in our 17-year history and have benefited from 38 successful company sales or IPOs 

.Atlas Accelerator is in the business to assist early stage start-ups in achieving their dreams by bringing experienced Executive and Line talent into a firm to make an immediate impact. Often an early stage company does not have the funds to pay for a full time Sale VP, or CFO, or CTO - sometimes an early stage firm needs an expert to come in and setup a sales strategy - or a new entrepreneur needs someone to come along side of them to coach them through unchartered waters. 

Over the past 16 years, Atlas Accelerator has infused C-Level and Business Professionals into the Seattle Start-up market for companies such as these. We are truly a long term business partner whose objectives align perfectly to yours.

We offer both executive and non-exec recruiting. Our model is different and tailored to early-stage companies. Not only will we work for equity but we have a model that works for companies that can not afford to pay 20% - 30% of first year’s salary.

A sixth client accepted a role yesterday!

All six clients were hired in the past two weeks. I am pinching myself. 

What they all did was become very targeted and narrowly focused. They were strategic about every move, interaction, and call they made or had. 

They did not wait for opportunities to be advertised. They did not sit around waiting to hear from companies. They were offensive. They made things happen. 

Every job came from their networking efforts. 

In this market, you cannot be a generalist or a jack of all trades and make traction. I see so many people throwing out everything and anything they have done, thinking it will attract a larger audience. It does just the opposite. 

Make it easy for others to know exactly what you do really well. So they see your value immediately. 

Gone are the days where they figure out your transferable skills. They aren't implied. You have to spell them out. That's this market. Whether we like it or not. 

You have to position yourself as an expert in one or two areas. That's it, not all over the place. 

Companies are looking for SME’s. Even if you aren't an exact fit, you'll be considered if you solve their biggest problem. That's the differentiator. 

What problem do you solve?
What situations can you make an immediate impact in?
What do you enjoy doing most? 
Where have you seen the most success?

Ask yourself those questions before you ever start a search. Or ask those questions if you're not making traction. 

You have to make it simple and straightforward in seconds who you are. 

Craft a simple and concise resume that targets the particular area with metrics backing up your expertise. 

Streamline your LinkedIn profile. Don't throw up 4, 5, or 6 titles. I see that all the time. It won't get you the results you want. Casting a wide net does not work. 

Anyone can do this in their job search. Anyone. It's not rocket science. 

You create your own luck and timing. By your outreach. Not sitting around hoping and waiting. 

I signed on four new client this week. I have two more open spots. 

I love seeing job seekers being successful!!!

Let's do this!

If you’re job seeking don't fall over into the victim camp. 

I see those people on LinkedIn daily. Spewing anger in their comments to anyone who has anything to do with hiring. They blame and typically believe the debunked ATS myth. Often, they are downright mean in their words to others. Blaming everyone. 

It is a choice to be that way. You are choosing to stay stuck. I can guarantee it will hold only one person back. You!

A job search is filled with fear, rejection, discouragement, and anger. 

But it's essential you don't get stuck in that mode for YOU!

It serves absolutely no purpose in your life. None. It does not help you. 

And we are stronger than we ever think. We can control our minds by choosing what to sit in and focus on. 

It doesn't mean you don't have down days or down weeks. Because you will, that's normal in a job search. 

It's that you don't stay in that mode. 

You don't lash out at others. Or blame others for your plight. 

Feeling down or discouraged, send me a note. I'll listen. I'll encourage you!

Do what's best for you. Be hopeful and go forward knowing it will all work out despite any difficulties. 

You got this. Despite the challenges!

“Why is this role open?”

This is one of the most important questions you can ask in an interview. It provides a ton of valuable information. 

Because you are interviewing the company, as well. 

You want to know whether there is high turnover in that role and whether it is a newly created role. And why? Was the last person promoted? Did the previous person leave the company? Did they retire?

Each response gives you a view into the organization, its operations, and any challenges they may have. 

Here are some other great questions to ask:

Can you elaborate on the day-to-day responsibilities of this job?

Who would I report to, and what is their management style like?

Can you tell me about the team I would be working with?

What are the biggest challenges and opportunities this team is currently facing?

What are the next steps in the hiring process, and what is the expected timeline?

Do you have any questions for me that I haven't addressed yet?

You should drill down in every interview and ask more in-depth questions as you progress through the process. 

What is your go to question(s) in interviews?

So hard to believe…

But yesterday, two more of my clients received offers. 

Another client is waiting to see if they are getting the offer. 

And another is close to the end of the interview process next week. And I fully believe they will get an offer. 

Who said no one hires during the holidays?

And the best thing told to me yesterday was the advice I gave my client (particular to them) regarding their interviewing (during prep) hit like a ton of bricks. Because they hadn't seen it, it made all the difference in how they told their story in this interview process, and now they are starting a new job. After a long search alone. And a very short search with me. Made me so happy. That's the value I bring. 

That is precisely why you hire a professional job advisor/coach, if at all possible. It is for the PERSONAL advice specific to you. Not the generic advice you find online. But the little things you don't see that an experienced, qualified advisor would see immediately. 

And my friend I wrote about last week, who was waiting to hear about a job, was asked for his references yesterday! He's going to get a wonderful Christmas gift!! I have no doubt. 

I have two, maybe three, openings for new clients! This is a perfect time to get setup for 2026! 

Yesssss! I am on cloud nine. When my clients win, I win.

Please don't send me a voice note when you don't know me. 

I find them intrusive. And I feel like they cross a boundary. 

I've had previous experiences with men crossing boundaries on Zoom. 
And in my DM’s so many times. 

I know that may seem strange to some people. 

And I know some people love them. That's great. But not me. 

So if I didn't respond to your first voice note, I won't respond to your second or third either. It's overkill. 

And no, I don't want to exchange ideas or get to know you. I am busy running a business. I need you to get right to the point. If there is a point, I am happy to jump on a call with you. 

Do you love or hate voice notes?

If you've optimised your resume and received feedback from an expert. Not just a friend. Someone who actually is an SME in the job-seeking arena. 

You’ve laid out your LinkedIn well. So that EVERYONE knows what you do and what you want to do instantly upon reviewing your profile without digging. 

You're sending out 100 invitations to a minimum of 50 TARGETED folks per week on LinkedIn, following a specific cadence. Not just blasting people asking for a job. 

And you set up targeted, limited job searches on LinkedIn or Indeed. 

You are doing all you can do!

And know you can be doing everything right in your job search. 

And still NOT have a job. 

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 

This market is tough for EVERYONE. No one is exempt. 

It's all about timing. 

While ensuring you are doing everything well. Because sometimes it is the little thing(s) holding you back in your search. That someone from the outside who is an SME can easily identify for you. Simply because they know the ins and outs. 

After all, no one is a professional job seeker. 

You got this!

Not my typical post. 

I write a post. And I can count on this particular coach to write a similar or the same post the next day or days later. 

Same claims, offers, experiences, educational posts, etc. 

With the same tone. She isn't plagiarizing. But she's put no thought into who she is. She's not me. She uses my ideas. And solutions. And my voice. It's like clockwork. 

I lean into my personality and strengths. Not anyone else's. I don't follow a formula. I share my clients' stories and my own in real time. 

She has copied me on everything about my business. 

It's not a good look for her. 

Because others on LinkedIn point it out to me ALL the time. 

It's actually sad for her. She's trying to do what made my business successful. But she's not me. I am my business. Instead of just being herself. 

And her posts are like a convention for resume writers and coaches. An unpaid POD. People see it. It's a turn-off to others. 

She forgot the most important part of any business: being authentic. 

Then she wouldn’t need a POD or to copy anyone else. 

I don't dislike her. 

I have another coach who goes through people who comment on my posts. They send connection requests and pitch their job seeking services, trying to get business. People tell me in my DM’s. They've even sent me his DM’s. 

I have another coach who DM’ed a friend of mine asking how much I charge? Asking them questions about my business. Why doesn't she just ask me?

If you start your own thing. Do your own thing. To be successful you need to lean into what's unique about yourself. Make it yours. Not a carbon copy of someone else. 

Stop copying what someone else says and does. It's not your voice and others see that in this day and age with social media. 

Authenticity really does matter at the end of the day. 

Would you block these people? I haven't and it's gone on for quite awhile but I just might today. 

What do you think, let me know in the comments?

I have one opening for a new client today!

A company rushed my current client through their process. It was a several week process. It was like what all interview processes should be. And they accepted today. 

I have two other clients who are interviewing for senior roles, and both companies have stated they plan to hire before Christmas. So they are expediting their processes. I fully expect that one, if not both, will get the offer. The past two months have been banner months for my clients and me. 

Things are going to shut down for several weeks soon. But that doesn't mean you can't set yourself up for success now! 

Invest in yourself and your career. I am one of many capable job advisors. I hate the term job coach. Because I am a lot more than what most coaches claim to be or are. It's my vocation. 

Be encouraged. You got this!

Four of my clients were invited to interviews for next week today! 

Companies are still interviewing.  

And most of my clients are setting informational interviews with peers via networking. It works. 

Don't stop looking for a job or networking this year yet. There is still time. 

80% percent of your job search should be networking. And the other 20% applying online. 

Spraying and praying is not a strategy. Applying online as a strategy only makes sense if you're entry-level or at the very beginning of your career. Then it makes sense. 

What are doing in your job search that's working well for you?

Two of my clients were invited to interviews for next week this past Friday for 1st interviews. 

Companies are still interviewing job seekers and still starting interview processes. 

You have another whole week before things really slow down for the holidays. 

I have a really good friend (not a client) waiting to hear on two opportunities, both executive-level roles. I am praying they get both offers and get to choose. 🙏

I also have a new client who has completed three interviews in two weeks, with a final interview against one other candidate next week for a VP of Sales in tech. We’ve worked together for 3 weeks. We changed one thing in their search on day 1. It changed their search literally overnight. That's the benefit of having someone from the outside advising you on your “specific” search. 

Things change overnight in job searches. 

Don’t let your thoughts convince you that nothing will happen until next year, so you stop networking or searching. At the same time, you should set realistic expectations so you don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Your mindset is everything. Mamba mentality!

Here’s my most recent client's experience working with me-

“Jenn was an instrumental figure in my job search in 2025. As a seasoned veteran, she has a very keen understanding of the candidate marketplace and stays current on all of the ebbs and flows.

What I appreciated most about Jenn is that she has a rare ability to be the supportive cheerleader in times of frustration AND a straight shooter about what she can and can't do, and what she expects her clients to do. I would highly recommend Jenn to anyone who needs a confidant and expert guide to help navigate a complex career pivot, an aspirational transition, and anything in between.”

I LOVE the work I do! So grateful. ❤️

Closing is not just for sales. 

It's a small but key part of an interview, especially for senior-level job seekers. 

Some decision makers are waiting for it to happen. I have had hiring managers pass on qualified candidates simply because the job seeker didn't close. 

Here are some examples of what you might say:

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the process, and in particular learning about XYZ company, your plans, and how I can help you to achieve them".

"I am grateful for interviewing with you today. You have given me a clear overview of the position. I think my experience and accomplishments can provide value to the organization. 

You are reiterating your interest. And expressing how exciting and challenging you think the role would be, and what a good fit you'd be for it. 

And then close up with-

“Do you have any other questions about my background I can answer for you today?”

If this doesn't come naturally, practice closing in front of a mirror. You'll be surprised by how much it helps you in an actual interview. 

Let me know in the comments below what you say to close in an interview?

My latest recommendation ❤️-

“I highly recommend Jennifer for anyone navigating today's challenging and complex job market.
I had been following Jennifer's insightful work since late 2023, and after experiencing this unprecedented job market firsthand, I reached the point where I knew I needed to invest in a true professional. Having invested in coaching before, I recognize the value of expertise, and Jennifer's 25+ years in the industry, paired with her deep knowledge of current trends, made the decision a "no-brainer."
I chose Jennifer because of her unique combination of deep
empathy and a "no-nonsense" accountability approach. She listened intently to my situation and the challenges I was facing but was also highly effective at keeping our work focused on the critical objectives. She will not do the work for you, but she provides the proven process, strategy, and guidance-it's up to the client to apply it consistently.
Over the course of just over 90 days, Jennifer was my dedicated guide. We dove quickly into the strategic work, and she stuck by my side, providing expert direction every step of the way. The result? I successfully signed an offer letter for a role that was a job of my choosing, not just a job I settled for.
If you are a job seeker struggling to find clarity, direction, and results in this market, working with Jennifer is a truly worthwhile investment in your future. I am incredibly grateful for her wisdom, process and her commitment to her clients success.”

How you job search. The actions you take matter. They create your luck. 

Be wise. 🍀
