What Clients Say About Working with Jodi
Messages from Parents
"As a parent of a young adult in this competitive business world, I did not really know how to help my child navigate the system of finding an internship. It initially felt like everyone who was able to get a job did so through having a connection. I really wanted my daughter to learn interpersonal skills, interview skills, and gain the confidence and understanding of what it takes to get the job that you want. After many interviews and many rejections, she finally landed an internship that seems perfect. It certainly did not happen by sheer luck. Months of preparation with jodi helped her have an interview where she felt confident, poised, and prepared. I would highly recommend Jodi for any young adult going through this process. It’s a tough world out there! And she makes It so much easier!"
"Jodi was the smartest investment my husband and I have made in our son. She was instrumental in helping him become more articulate and confident in creating an impressive narrative and framework that spotlighted his strengths, skill set, and helped him identify his uniqueness -- what sets him apart from others."
"As a parent, it was reassuring to see how much confidence and clarity our daughter gained while working with Jodi. She provided thoughtful, professional guidance on interviewing, networking, and LinkedIn optimization, and helped her communicate more naturally and confidently throughout the hiring process. We’re thrilled to say she landed the job, and we can’t recommend Jodi highly enough!"
"We are so grateful for the guidance Blair received from Jodi. This was money very well spent! Young adults are not learning networking and interview skills at school and are wasting a lot of time searching for jobs, prepping for interviews and following up because no one has been told them how to do it in a productive way. Jodi built up Blair’s confidence by giving her actionable tools to present herself with clarity and purpose. The job market is always changing but we feel like the skills she has learned from Jodi will be impactful for her both immediately and in the future."
"The internship and job market is very complex and ever changing. Between AI interviews, homework assignments and having to find an internship while studying abroad, there is no one better to help prepare your child than Jodi. There is not a solution or advice or next steps that she does not provide. From teaching him what his story is and how to share it, to finding what really inspires him to multiple practice interviews, editing email corresponds, helping with follow-up emails, checking in and following up with him and always making time for him, there is no better experience. My son ended up in the most amazing internship this summer! Jodi even followed-up with him during his last week to help guide him on how to exit an internship on the best possible terms. We are grateful for the work Jodi put in and the results. It was a pleasure and we will gladly hire Jodi again for the when the real job search needs to happen."
"Her support and guidance have been invaluable for our son!"
Messages from Early Career Professionals
"Jodi was the ideal coach to help me better understand how to focus and improve my job search. Her empathy and insightful questions gave me the opportunity to make a number of realizations about how I could improve the way I promoted myself to hiring managers, the way I highlighted my skills and experiences, and the steps I needed to take to keep momentum. She helped me plan effective ways to approach finding and applying for open positions, which was a daunting prospect for me. She also helped me expand my job search techniques to include new channels and methods that I hadn't considered previously. Most importantly, she helped me reflect on and challenge the assumptions I had made about myself and others in the hiring process, allowing me to more effectively talk about my skills, expand my network, and improve the quality of applications I submitted."
"Jodi helped me translate the skills that I already had into useful interview tactics. She helped me feel more prepared and confident for all of my interviews and helped me format my experiences and stories into successful interviews."

"She can communicate in an encouraging and respectful way and is a great listener."
"During my coaching sessions with Jodi, I was constantly exclaiming, "Wow, I'm so glad I brought this up with you!" She had so much insight to give, especially in regards to building my network and developing strong connections with contacts in the industry I'm interested in. Even if it was as simple as setting up a meeting with someone I'd just met or writing a LinkedIn post, Jodi helped me understand how important these were for career development and gave me best strategies. She also helped me prepare for multiple interviews, helping me clarify my main points and improve my delivery. We workshopped different example stories, and with attention and care, she said what she liked and how I could improve. She is a cheerleader and also someone who'll listen carefully and give you great critical feedback. Every minute of the sessions was well used, and I now have a toolkit to network with confidence and prepare thoroughly for interviews."
"In a dynamic and uncertain job market, Jodi cut through the noise and provided a recruiter's perspective on how to navigate a difficult landscape. For someone who had never been through the process before, her guidance accelerated my learning curve and equipped me with strategies that I can continue to use throughout my career."
