Together, we collaborate on executive image strategies that stir hiring decision-makers, recruiters, human resource professionals, board members, executives + clients to respond.

My inventive approach to content design, development and delivery influences awards, speaking engagements and representation in global publications, such as Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Forbes, SmartBrief and more.

Global Executive Resume Writing Service | Texas Executive Resume Writer

JBPMicropoetry 

By day, C-suite execs hire me to convert their jumble of thoughts + words into clarity--to cultivate their personal brands.

Out of this day-in, day-out writing rigor has emerged a fervency for poetic expression. This urge to wax poetic has liberated my feelings into rhythmic clarity across 100s of micro-poems illustrated with photographs of my husband's and my life on Padre Island, TX.

Further exhilarating this poetic journey has been the generous and uplifting feedback from friends, family, clients and even people I've never met. Things like:

⭐️ Unbelievably beautiful! Your soul and ability to put such beautiful thoughts into poetry is amazing!

⭐️ Wow, Girl...you have NOOOOO idea how much I needed to read this today. You have an uncanny ability to put my thoughts and feelings into words.

⭐️ What a beautiful piece … thanks for expressing what I have always thought. Excellent writing.

⭐️ I LOVE this...hits home on so many levels. Thank you, Jacqui for your articulate words.

⭐️ Love your poetry and this one is very special.

--
Not only am I grateful for the opportunity to share this journey through Etsy sales of my one-of-a-kind poetry, but I'm also available for hire as a commissioned poet. I can collaborate with you on your unique expression of love for your husband / wife / brother / sister / father / mother / pet (dog, cat), etc.

I also pen custom poems as an expression of your grief, to inspire hope, to celebrate friendship, to honor your employees, and MUCH more.

It is my honor to underpin each poem with YOUR emotion in the moment.

Lever

Recruited by Lever's Director of Content + Partner Marketing to research and write recurring blog posts for this Silicon Valley recruiting software business. Aligning my thought-work with Lever's goals to 'tackle the most strategic challenge that companies face: how to grow their teams,' has been a natural extension of my decades immersed as an executive career strategist and executive career writer. 

Add to that, my passion for weaving career stories that exude the gravitas of companies' unique persona and brand messaging, and the result is a durable writing partnership. I love to distill complexity into concise impact stories; as well, I naturally and mellifluously expound more deeply into areas that require depth and detail breadth.

In December of 2019, one of my Lever posts, "Age Diversity and the Workplace: Busting Myths Around Older Workers" was nominated and won Recruiting Brief's MVP Award for the Diversity and Inclusion category.

Another favorite and popular post was, "Olympic Gold Medalist, Joe Jacobi Shares Talent Identification Strategies to Help You Build High-Performance Teams."

Both posts are included in the attachments, below.

Brought on board as monthly blogger for Glassdoor's employee channel and in 16 months was promoted to Career + Workplace Expert. Subsequently tapped for a year-long role as twice-monthly blogger representing Glassdoor at U.S. News | On Careers channel.

In recent years, tapped by editors for employer + recruiter-focused content published at the Glassdoor for Employers channel. Some of my blogs have ranked in Glassdoor's annual top-10 lists, such as "11 Must-Ask Behavioral Interview Questions": https://www.glassdoor.com/employers/blog/top-blog-posts-2017/. 

Other content has been picked up by major outlets such as Fast Company, Business Insider, Forbes, Entrepreneur, SmartBrief and more. For example: https://www.fastcompany.com/90255209/want-innovative-and-collaborative-employees-take-these-steps and https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/322106. 

In the final several years, I wrote a monthly Must-Ask Interview Questions column, per special request by the blog editors.

ACME Technologies Inc.

Sought out by ACME Ticketing's Head of Marketing for recurring blogging assignments as well as content marketing initiatives to help advance the visibility of this high-tech, Silicon-Valley enterprise. ACME provides ticketing software for museums, zoos, gardens and more. 

Our collaboration has evolved to include web page marketing + sales copy, style guide development and client case study writing and editing. As a partner writer, my goal is to interject style, energy and creativity into technical copy while also ensuring a non-technical reader will easily absorb and relate to the message.

Prior Marketing + Public Relations Roles in the Service + Association Industries

My corporate career journey included a series of writing + marketing roles. A stint in my first year out of college managing a national resume writing office in Kansas City, MO, foreshadowed my current entrepreneurial venture.

In the last company in which I worked as an employee, I promoted quickly from assistant to the PR director to the coveted role of right-hand to the CEO, applying interviewing savvy that I've since tapped into in my current role as owner of a Careers Consulting company.

Various Marketing, PR + Project Management Roles, Reporting to Company Partner/CEO | PR Executive
