QUOTES FROM JENNIFER

“When it comes to your profile, you have to remember it's your profile. Yes, you've worked for a whole list of companies, but in your experience section, in your description box, you do not need to put the company biography in there. I want to read about you.”
“When you're going through a career transition, you want to activate the open to work option. But what people don't understand is that when you activate the open to work, you have two options. You can have that green banner that says open to work and it's visible to everybody on the platform or you can choose to just let recruiters know.”
“The most impactful thing is to start leveraging the platform. You do that by building your connections.”
