iRise Careers Testimonials

""As a speaker/presenter, Jenny is effervescent, commanding and organized. She recently spoke at our yearly company event and was able to provide clear and confident market expertise to our employees. She arrived early and was prepared to handle all questions surrounding the topic. I appreciated her ability to respond to all team members with concise and thoughtful information as well as to connect with each individual. I would happily invite Jenny back next year!"

Kate Merrihew

"I have been working with Jenny recently on some career coaching and resume building. She has great insights on networking, effective job application and enhancing resumes. Applying for the right position is so much more than just submitting applications. Jenny has helped me in my search with some great “pre-game” strategies designed to separate you from the crowd. She has also been instrumental in re-building my resume, helping me understand what Hiring Managers are looking for. As many companies are beginning to use AI to sort through resumes, it is critical to understand what stands out. Your resume needs to tell a story, and Jenny has helped me to ensure my resume tells the right story!" 

Eric Amacher

"Jenny is a fantastic speaker! She took time to understand our audience's needs and customized her message to meet them. She shared a draft of her slides, asked for feedback, and delivered such an engaging presentation! I cannot imagine anyone more knowledgeable about the topic (LinkedIn) or able to offer a better experience for our group."
