An Extensive Network of HR Connections

In the HR field, we’ve developed relationships with HR professionals, recruiters, and experts. We met most of these individuals at events, conferences, or even over social media platforms like LinkedIn. 

Networking has helped us to keep track of the latest happenings in the industry. It also gives us a chance to share knowledge and spot fresh opportunities. Most importantly, networking facilitates valuable partnerships that often help us line up interviews for clients. 

Comprehensive Support Throughout Your Career Transition

We support and assist you at every step of the career transition process, from the beginning until your goal is achieved.

Guidance on Skill Building

We start with an open discussion about the clients' past jobs and successes. We discuss their strengths and areas where they wish to grow.

We often do exercises to dig into specific skills. Sharing stories of their strengths and getting feedback from coworkers to give us a complete view.

The goal is to see where clients are now and plan where they want to go. We encourage clients to use our career coach Jessica’s book, "The Hidden Gem Within," for self-reflection. It has prompts and exercises to explore strengths, passions, and goals. Clients can track their progress, celebrate wins, and find areas for growth.

Journaling helps clients stay clear and focused. It lets them take control of their career journey with our support. We also ask for past performance reviews. We review these together to find strengths and areas needing improvement. This helps identify any skill gaps. Addressing these gaps helps clients move forward with confidence.

Job Search Strategies

We give clients a mixture of job-seeking strategies, depending on what they are comfortable with. These might include looking through one's network, searching online job boards, or contacting companies of interest. 

We are there to guide our clients throughout this process, offering tips and support. At Hidden Gem, we equip clients with the tools that clients need to take charge of their job search and find the right opportunity that aligns with their career goals.

Proven Success Stories

Jessica's coaching has helped many find their dream careers. Here is a recent success story.

Case Study: Stuck for 5 Years

We recently worked with a very unhappy client. This person had been in the same role at their current job for 5 years and was passed up for many promotions. During our coaching sessions, we got to the bottom of what they wanted to do with their career and what was holding them back. 

We decided to focus on skill-building, networking, and refining their job search strategies. As a result, they landed an upgraded job in a field that they love. This person broke free from the rut they were in and became confident in their career. These are the kinds of transformations that make us feel so rewarded.

What Inspired Jessica to Become a Career Change Coach

What inspired me to become a career transition coach was seeing so many people stuck in jobs they hate. I’ve always been passionate about helping people find work that excites them and aligns with their values. After years in HR, I realized I wanted to do more than hire and fire – I wanted to help people navigate their career paths and find fulfillment. Seeing the transformation in someone who finds their true calling is rewarding, and that’s what drives me every day.
