Becoming a confident and capable leader

Jessica is definitely worth her weight in gold. As a professional in public service (government) I have been struggling for some time in learning how to get to the next level in public service leadership.
 
 
Jessica expanded my horizons in how to really be your own best advocate, and how to look deep within myself and access my strengths and weaknesses properly, and seek to leverage my strengths while gaining experience for the weaknesses.
​
 
Jessica availability was not an issue, very personable and knows how to speak to clients. Jessica gave me a perception into my experience(s) that I would not thought to speak of because I felt it was irrelevant; however, no experience is irrelevant in making one's resume three-dimensional.
​
 
I appreciate the feedback, and homework given that highlighted specific industries and skills that I need to move to the position/industry desired. Jessica truly is a professional in her profession. Hire Jessica, you can't go wrong with quality here.

Changing career paths as a leader

I was introduced to Jessica via a recent symposium that I joined in January due to a recent layoff at my previous company. Her message about taking this opportunity to re-evaluate my career and take on a new challenge inspired me to reach out and discuss my career options with her.



 

Since I had not been searching for new opportunities in over 20 years, the process of searching for my next role was a significant departure from my previous in-company role-searching strategy and meant that I was going to have to learn how the current job market works.



Jessica’s coaching and guidance was invaluable in obtaining my next role. We partnered to develop a resume and LinkedIn profile that matched my ideal future position. Since I was a novice at LinkedIn and new at the current job application, networking and self-promotion strategies, her structured approach allowed me to rapidly learn about all of the available tools and the best approaches to gain access to the jobs I wanted.

 

​

Additionally, her pre-interview preparation tools and coaching were highly effective resource and can only be underscored by my success at gaining the leadership position I wanted.

Jessica’s program help me to uncover a number of job opportunities, one of which I accepted recently, providing me with a new opportunity matching my ideal job description, including matching my location requirements, opportunity for future career advancement and corporate culture. I also launched my own consulting company in parallel and significantly improved my networking skills, which I would not have accomplished without her guidance and coaching.


 


Jessica’s positive energy is infectious, her knowledge of the recruiting market comprehensive and her structured career coaching program an efficient way to find your next ideal role. I highly recommend working with her and have enjoyed getting to know her over these past few weeks.

For those of you who may be uncertain about making the investment into Jessica’s program, I would remind you that the investment is really in yourself and the payoff is not quantifiable in dollars (even though that may be a positive result) but more in the improvements in self confidence and risk taking that are pivotal for any executive leadership mindset.

She is awesome!

 

She was able to provide great direction, feedback and assistance. Jessica is a great listener and provided me with guidance on how I should move forward to next steps with pursuing a career in training.

 

She even made herself available for additional assistance if I needed once I started exploring different training organizations to join after our conversation. If you are looking for an attentive, responsive and professional career coach, I would definitely recommend her!​

Get back on track with outplacement

I highly recommend Jessica as an exceptional HR outplacement coach and career advisor. After being laid off from my previous role, I felt anxious and unsure of how to effectively market myself to new potential employers.

 

Jessica provided the coaching and support I needed to get back on track quickly. Jessica took the time to thoroughly review my resume and LinkedIn profile, providing strategic feedback on how I could better highlight my skills, accomplishments, and core strengths.

 

We had productive one-on-one sessions focused on career pathing where she helped me identify the best roles to pursue based on my background and aspirations. Jessica offered invaluable advice on LinkedIn branding and optimizing my profile to catch recruiter's attention. Our work revising my resume and crafting tailored cover letters made a tangible difference.

 

Within just a month of implementing Jessica's recommendations, I went from landing interviews sporadically to consistently lining up over 4 interviews per week for a full month straight. She kept me focused and motivated throughout the process. I credit Jessica's fantastic coaching and support for empowering me to get back on the market, with confidence, after such a tough transition, and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for similar resources.

Helping organizations thrive

My Real Estate Company invited Jessica to come to Salt Lake City Utah for a 2 day coaching session.  At the time we had a successful company but were lacking in several areas. I am happy to say that Jessica really made a difference in the operational performance of our company. 
 
She helped streamline our business practices. We left those 2 days with a greater sense of processes and systems. Jessica had every minute of those 2 days lined out. She is highly organized and competent. 
 
Since those 2 days, we have grown by astronomical amounts. We have a system that works for us. We have a team that knows exactly what their roles need to do every day, week and month to be highly successful. She helped us incorporate simple small things that made a BIG difference, and walked us through every step with kind guidance.
 
Not only is Jessica Samuels a great coach, she is a lot of fun and has a huge heart of gold.  I highly recommend Jessica to guide you in the right direction if you are an entrepreneur who needs some help in growing your business. Whether it be a startup or an already established company. You will definitely benefit from her coaching and guidance.

Advance your career in tech

Jessica is a wonderful career coach who has lots of pointers and tips for career mapping regardless of the profession. Spending a few hours with her has helped in my appearance and approach when using LinkedIn for networking and applying for jobs. I highly recommend going to Jessica for those seeking advice on career outlooks, job searching or job preparation!

Zach B. 

R&D Engineer (NY)

I feel so fortunate to have worked with Jessica on setting some career goals and giving my LinkedIn presence a much needed facelift. Her ability to listen and distill my goals into actionable tasks makes her invaluable. Her branding insights and awareness of career strategies gave me perspective on things I would have never thought of on my own.
 
Jessica's flexibility and willingness to work with my crazy schedule made this process so easy. She structured everything in bite-size pieces which didn't overwhelm me and held me to task for all of my homework for her so that I stayed on schedule.
 
But honestly, Jessica's sheer enthusiasm and motivation is what made her a joy to work with. Her positivity is infectious (in the best possible way)! I can't wait to work with her again in the future.

Building a successful business

As one of Jessica’s longest clients, I can say with confidence that she is the ABSOLUTE BEST career coach in the market!
 
About ten years ago, I was applying for job after job with no success until I hired Jessica to help me with my resume.

Once we honed in on the right job, Jessica helped me create an amazing resume which resulted in me landing the right job quickly.
 
As my career advanced from senior management into executive roles, I was able to compare Jessica’s techniques against the top executive/career/life coaches and she remains the leader of the pack.
 

Whether she’s working with you on mid-career skills such as leadership/management skills, self-analysis techniques, and presentation skills or C-level skills like influencing and managing behavior in the organization system, conflict negotiation, diversity, and mergers, Jessica is an experienced advisor.
​
As a full-time entrepreneur, Jessica is coaching myself and many others how to strategically analyze the market, maximize our marketing efforts, setting budgets, and achieving our goals. In addition to her academic achievements, professional certifications and affiliations, Jessica teaches the cutting edge, real-world strategies to ensure you are ahead of the competition.
​
Whether you’re just getting started, starting over, or preparing for the next challenge, Jessica Samuels will help you get there. Not only will you find the guidance you are looking for, but you will also find a friend.

Nathalie advances her career beyond internships

Jessica has been an invaluable resource to me as a career coach while I was going through a pivotal time in my career. I had just moved to New York City in one of the most competitive job markets.
​
Throughout my job search, I was having success getting the interviews; however, made it to the final rounds, only to come up short and not get the job.
