She’s also the author of several job search books, including The Ridiculously Awesome Resume Kit.As a girl who was 1,000% convinced she'd grow up and become a California beach lifeguard, Jenny is no stranger to big career dreams.A journalist, corporate marketing / PR leader and recruiter in her earlier career, Jenny never imagined that these (seemingly illogical to family and friends) career moves would ultimately provide her with the perfect combination of experience she’d need to launch and grow JobJenny.com.But it’s these mad writing, marketing and branding skills – along with her firsthand knowledge of how hiring managers and recruiters think and behave – that enable her to help professionals blast away the fear and confusion that almost always goes along with career change, then take immediate strides forward.Jenny, a Detroit native, unlikely hot yoga enthusiast and Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, three kids and the best rescue dog in the history of rescue dogs (no, seriously).And, while she absolutely loves the majesty of the Pacific NW, she’s still convinced that her career will ultimately take her to the beaches of California.
