    “I'd been wanting to transition from my job for years, but the status of ‘wanting’ is where it stayed. Once I started working with Jess, I knew the change was actually going to happen! It was very exciting. She helped me decide my new direction which was not only a new job, but a new field too... I'd recommend her to anyone who's looking to change jobs or careers.”

    —Bonnie B.

  • Client Reviews

    “Most people don't take the time to answer the important questions or even be able to ask themselves what makes them happy, what motivates them, and what their passion is. Jessica was great at helping to identify and communicate what I was looking for, and to comb through my thoughts and be able to pull constructive direction from them.”

    —Zack M.

  • Client Reviews

    “I had tried 4 different coaches in the past 6-9 months and none of them really listened. They were more like cheerleaders, rah-rahing me no matter which way I turned. And when you are searching, you can go in many directions! Along comes Jessica who listens not just to what I’m saying in words but what I’m not saying. She was the first one to tell me: ‘Are you sure that’s something you want to do? Are you not afraid you’d get bored?’ – this was bang-on!”

Salary Negotiation Coaching

John Gates, Founder of Salary Coach Academy, has trained recruiters on how to negotiate with you for 30 years. Now he's bringing those secrets to your side of the table in easy, accessible, on-demand courses in a growing library that's a fraction of the price of VIP coaching programs (also available as an add-on in the Academy).

You'll learn how to:

  • Get Your Phone Ringing: Answer the "Salary Requirement" questions in applications in a way that gets you into more phone screens without painting yourself into a corner

  • Negotiate During Phone Screens: Recruiters will pressure you for a salary number before you've even interviewed - avoid this trap easily and upgrade your offer later

  • Build Value In Interviews: Differentiate yourself in interviews as a high-value candidate, improving your chances for a first-place finish and maximized offer

  • Negotiate At Offer Stage: Identify when there is room for negotiation, get a signing bonus included, and effectively close with the best offer they'd be willing to give
