We were never taught in school how to successfully navigate a job search. We were never taught how to write an effective resume and cover letter. We were never taught how to answer interview questions to guarantee we are remembered.
JobJenny.com was born from a belief that it should be overwhelming or difficult to navigate job search, ace the interview, or land the promotion. In our interview we discussed how to add your own flair to ensure you're remembered at networking events, how to make yourself the obvious choice to your interviewer, and why building your resume is more than a list of accomplishments.
