The stories behind some of those numbers:
After a long stretch of feeling stuck, Rachel rebuilt her confidence, clarified her value, and strengthened how she showed up in the market. Within two days of updating her LinkedIn, recruiter messages started coming in — one of which led to her VP of Marketing role and a $63K raise.
“I’d tried all the things. I was hopeless. Then I did this, and within months…”
Rachel D., VP of Marketing
After hundreds of applications and months of interviews that weren’t leading to offers, Blanka did not need more effort. She needed a clearer target, a stronger strategy, and a sharper way to communicate her value. The result: Senior Analyst to VP, with a 52% salary increase.
“It’s 100% what I wanted — even more salary than I imagined. I couldn’t sleep the night I got the call.”
Blanka K., VP of Process Engineering
Gary was ready for a bigger executive role, but he needed his story to carry the weight of the next level. By tightening his positioning and interview stories, he moved from Senior Director to VP Product Management, with a 20% compensation increase plus equity.
“I was able to say more with fewer words. That has more weight.”
Gary B., VP Product Management
Natalie had been trying to fit herself into posted roles that didn’t quite fit. Once she got clear on the type of role, company, and work that would actually energize her, she received two offers within about 16 days — including the unposted role she accepted.
“It never felt before like I could design a role I wanted or be truly happy at work. That clarity changed everything.”
Natalie S., Director of Communications
Cathy came into the search overwhelmed and unsure how to find a role that matched both her skills and values. Through clarity work, she identified what truly mattered — and landed a remote role with a 25% pay bump, excellent benefits, and a renewed sense of calm and confidence.
“For the first time, I’m calm and energized about work. I got the whole package — values, pay, and peace.”
Cathy M., Speech-Language Pathologist
After 30 years in real estate, Jim was ready for a different kind of work but needed a clearer message and a better way into the right conversations. He built a targeted relationship map, landed two unposted offers, and chose a six-figure role with a company that felt like the right fit.
“I found my people.”
Jim L., Market Manager
Ari used this work to get a new finance role in 30 days. Nine months later, while she was not actively looking, the positioning we built helped open the door to a VP of Finance opportunity.
“This program didn’t just help me get a new job and 30% pay bump — I got my soul back.”
Kim M.
“I went from an assistant to an executive when I started 3 weeks ago as the Director of Operations, I tripled my base pay, will receive bonuses, profit sharing, full benefits, and now have realized my ideal income status (unlimited earning potential).”
K. B., Director of Operations
“Happily, it has been a busy hiring season and when calls to interview came, I was ready! I now have 3 offers and am waiting to hear about 2 more.”
Sarah Saint-Laurent
New roles, offers, and promotions
“Going far beyond catching typos and awkward sentences, Jennifer added very significant value to my content. She better focused my resume for the target job, she tightened up the cover letter significantly, and she gave the whole package a visual polish you only get from a graphic designer — simple, clean, and highly readable. Most impressive was that she didn’t disrupt or lose the personality and tone I wished to convey; she clearly improved them.”
“Yes, I got the job (Director of Information Systems)! Bottom line? I earned the offer due to my skills, but I got the interview because of my resume.”
Arthur Held, Senior IT Executive
“I hired Jennifer to craft a cover letter and resume for my job search, but as we worked on those we discussed a potential opportunity with my present employers. Jennifer helped me prepare to negotiate a promotion in the hopes of creating a new position at my current company. Success!”
“I got the promotion!”
Dan Brandborg
“I have had a breakthrough with my job findings these last two weeks. I’m in serious contention to land a dream job! One company said they receive around 500 apps a day but mine was so well written and composed that it helped me get this far!”
“Yes, the job search is now over!! It came down to (two competing firms). Just so you know, your work is amazing. I had so many jobs offering interviews and they all said it was because of my resume!”
Ray Garrin, Northwestern Mutual
“I ultimately got a state director job with the resume [you] and your team created. I’m doing better than ever, happy [in] my work, and financially fantastic, and y’all are a big part of that.”
Scott S.
“(only half joking) Your resume and cover letter saved my marriage. First, my wife was able to get the job of her dreams … Her company moved us all to another state. Then I got so many interviews from that cover letter and resume you wrote. There’s no way I should have gotten through the (Fortune 50 company’s) screening. I found a great job.”
Patrick M.
“Jennifer Shryock is a genius! I was offered the first job I applied to after receiving her assistance. She crafted a resume that highlighted my knowledge, skills, and accomplishments and demonstrated proof of my abilities. I especially valued her interview instruction. I am usually very nervous during interviews, but Jennifer taught me how to present myself confidently and eloquently. I felt more prepared and empowered during the interview than ever before.”
Christine Morris
“Instead of searching job openings, Jennifer helped me give myself permission to first decide what I wanted. Then I marketed myself to the job I wanted, not just the jobs I could fill.”
“I accepted the position after negotiating well beyond my comfort zone. Your program fueled so much of my confidence and inspired me with just the right amount of language practice and play that the interview and negotiation process felt pretty natural, even virtually.”
Melissa DeMarino, Social Worker
“Jennifer Shryock helped me on short notice regarding a salary negotiation for which I needed immediate input. She made time for me to meet with her that same day and in 15 to 20 minutes coached me on critical dos and don’ts of how to properly value my expertise, discuss various negotiation strategies, and develop a mental guide for me to use during the negotiation to determine what offer(s) I would or would not accept. I followed her advice and got what I wanted.”
Jennifer Stephens
“My interview coaching experience with Jennifer was outstanding! Jennifer helped me prepare, provided great insight on what interviewers are looking for, and a strategy to have a successful interview.”
“p.s. I got the job!”
Crystal Beckman
What the process was like
“The best thing I’ve done for myself in my entire life was work with Jennifer.”
Heidi Dennison, CPA, Director of Accounting & Finance
Anna used the structure of the program to clarify what kind of work and life she wanted next. Conversations with people in the field helped her test a possible direction, recognize what did and did not fit, and get introduced to better-aligned opportunities.
“Jennifer has a unique way of making not only prospective employers but yourself see and realize the true potential inside. People tend to forget about how capable and experienced they are. Jennifer gets to the heart of the matter and makes your resume really shine. The boost to your confidence and self-worth is worth every penny alone and the increase in pay from your future employer makes this one of the best investments you’ll ever make.”
Dave Pyron, CEO, Pyron Technologies
“At a point in my life when I was feeling a lot of uncertainty around my profession and future endeavors, Jennifer’s excellent coaching helped me achieve the clarity I so desperately was seeking.”
“The process we went through during our sessions absolutely helped me grow! I learned about myself, discovered themes, and charted a new direction to create a fruitful and fulfilling career. Not only did she help provide clarity and direction, but she also provided ACTIONABLE steps to achieve my goals. That was priceless!”
Stacey Targee
“Jen is a wonderful coach and person. She is helpful at role-playing and gaming out potential questions and helped me prepare for a second interview for an Executive Director level position. Given that the organization’s process was not very clear, prepping with Jen was extremely helpful. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
Caitlin
“I was embarrassed. I didn’t know how to talk about getting fired. Especially with family and friends, not to mention in an interview. Now I can. I’m ready. You’ve done a lot for me. Thank you.”
C. R.
“Before I met Jennifer, I dreaded the interview question, ‘Tell Us About Yourself.’ It was so hard to answer! I found it confusing. Are they asking for personal information or professional? It’s so generic, boring and open-ended, I thought it was just an ice breaker, like, ‘How are you doing?’”
“After 10 minutes with Jennifer, everything’s changed! Now I know how to answer in a way that will frame the whole interview. That makes me feel confident and in control.”
Ari Santamaria
“You have cheerfully guided me through the process and given me confidence to explore new opportunities. You also have a way of asking the ‘right’ questions to get at my own experience and personality and then crafting the words which sound just like me, but a better, polished version of myself. I learn something each time we speak.”
Marianne Miller
“Jen is just amazing at what she does! If you want someone who is super ‘in tune’ with anything technical in writing, Jen is your go-to person. … She is professional, timely, hard working, intelligent and most importantly, a compassionate and ethical person. When I have the chance to hire Jen again, I will do without hesitation.”
Mike Birnbaum
“From advising to coaching to actual crafting, she offers it all regarding resumes and interview coaching. I found her to be professional and personable while remaining focused on the tasks at hand.”
“During round one the interviewer was mightily impressed with the section on my resume ‘What people are saying’. He thought that was rather clever, liked it very much.”
Christopher Cable
“As a business coach running my own practice, I haven’t needed a resume in over 12 years. When I decided to apply for a teaching position, I knew I needed some help telling the story of my business in a way that would show me as the best candidate. Truly, Jennifer made the process so easy AND fun. Not only that, but the resume that came out of the process is a fabulous representation of me, my work and the best that I have to offer to not only an organization but also to my clients.”
Nona Jordan, Master Business Coach & Mentor
“I didn’t have the time to create a perfect, professional resume. … The resulting resume was fabulous! It was written better than I could have done, faster, and more professional. The process was simple and afforded me the time to prepare for interviews and care for my family.”
Jennifer Swartz, Non-Profit Professional
“Jennifer, you offered more than what I paid you for and did a better job than I expected! You present yourself very well, especially your ability with words. I learned more about wording, which your experience really brings to the table.”
James Sessions, Construction Manager
“Jennifer did an exceptional job helping me create a resume that I would be proud to send to a potential employer. She is a wealth of knowledge for any job seeker out there, her skills are great for folks that are employed and would like to have a resume ready to go if the need arises!”
Heather Phillips, Graphic Designer
Every result has a strategy behind it.
These clients did not simply get lucky, polish a resume, or wait to be discovered.
The details were different for every person. But the pattern was the same: clearer direction, stronger positioning, and more strategic execution toward roles that better reflected their experience, compensation goals, values, and life.
These are examples of what can change when capable professionals clarify their direction, strengthen how their value is understood, and build a more strategic path to the right conversations.
