Hello, I'm Jen

I've spent two decades inside recruitment and talent, reviewing how organisations hire and helping people get hired. I coach with the same mix I'm known for: pragmatic, candid and commercially literate. No scripts, no jargon. Just an honest read on where you are and a clear plan to move forward.

How I can help

How I help you move forward

Focused, one-to-one coaching shaped entirely around you and the move you're trying to make.

Career clarity

Work out what you actually want next, and a realistic route to get there.

CV & LinkedIn review

A recruiter's-eye rewrite so your experience lands in the first six seconds.

Interview coaching

Structured practice and honest feedback, so you walk in prepared, not rehearsed.

Salary negotiation

Know your worth and ask for it: scripts and strategy that hold up under pressure.

Confidence & positioning

See and articulate your value, and position yourself for the roles you want.

For 16–25s

Kickstart: affordable careers support for young people

Starting out shouldn't depend on who you know. Low-cost, friendly sessions for 16–25s: first CVs, apprenticeship and university choices, early interviews and the confidence to begin. Practical help to take a strong first step.

The approach

Honest, practical, and built around you

No scripts, no generic templates. Just a candid read on where you are, paired with coaching tailored to the move you're trying to make.

01

Understand

We start with where you are, what's getting in the way, and what a good outcome really looks like.

02

Sharpen

We get your story, CV and evidence into shape: clear, credible and matched to your targets.

03

Practise

Realistic practice with direct, kind feedback, so nothing on the day takes you by surprise.

04

Move

You go forward with a plan, the confidence to use it, and a standing invitation to check back in.

"Pragmatic, candid and genuinely in your corner. Career coaching that's as commercially sharp as it is human."
