What my clients say about me
Don’t take my word for it.
Jean has the unique skill of being able to see the best aspects of your professional experience and place them in an easy-to-understand context for busy HR staff and hiring managers to comprehend. But that alone is just a skill. What makes Jean truly special is that when you work with her, she becomes invested in you.
In a world of transactional experiences, having someone take a true interest in you is a rare find. And that’s what Jean is.
During my job hunting I found that I was performing poorly during interviews. Jean was able to help me turn around my attitudes and progress much further in job interviews – even to the stage of getting an offer.
Jean listened to my needs and helped me work out what my strengths were, then encouraged me to think of how previous work I’ve done demonstrates my strength. I was better prepared for interviews and concentrated on believing and listing my strengths.
With Jean’s help I was able to get over my feelings of self-doubt and see myself as others see me. If you’re job hunting, having Jean in your corner will make the process easier and much more likely to succeed more quickly.
Working with Jean to overhaul my resume and cover letter was an amazing experience, not just because I really love how my resume looks right now, but also because it gave me the confidence to put into words the highly valuable skills I had fostered at this point in my career – something that I struggled to define in a clear and concise manner before having her guidance. It has helped me really take ownership of the work that I’m doing and also gave me a fresh perspective on my growth as a professional game designer. I highly recommend booking her time and working with her!

What 12 year olds taught us about our tech startup
Remember back to the age when you didn’t have adult responsibilities. How summers were filled with drippy popsicles, skinned knees and wet bathing suits? When you had no worries and everything was kinda sorta fascinating and cool? That seems so long ago. And when...

Prepare to Pivot

Our Crowdfunding “Failure” & its Lessons
With less than a week left in our Kickstarter campaign and having only raised 14% of our $40,000 CAD goal, I wanted to share some of our observations. It's still entirely possible a miracle happens this week and we're fully funded but... just in case... There are a...
Momentum
How do you get momentum back when you're feeling bogged, slogged, or just beaten down? After our failed Kickstarter campaign in April, the mood in our office was noticeable. Our team kinda sorta pinned our hopes on this campaign and we really wanted to be able to pay...
