Find it, a job with inspired leadership, work-life balance, and good culture.

As an Executive Career Coach, I inspire individuals to land not just a new job, but to launch a career that expresses their passion and life mission. Using a powerful and effective job change process, my candidates report a renewed self-confidence, awareness of their marketable skills and strategic career focus.

Client Stories

I am beyond grateful to have crossed paths with Jan. She truly cares about her clients and provides such a fun, warm, and supportive space for her clients to flourish. I could not recommend Jan more!

Avry, Technician, Biotech

Jan truly helped me clarify what was important to me, what drives me, and my vision for my career and success. As a result, I gained the clarity I need to say no to jobs that didn’t aligned which allowed me to acquire several job offers in my lane where I eventually landed a job with a 40% pay increase. Coaching is a must have, and Jan can help you get it.

Ethan, Creative, Speaker, Singer/Songwriter, Consultant

I highly recommend Jan Shurtz for resume writing! Her expertise and knowledge on how to craft and tailor a resume specific to an industry is second to none. She is intuitive, discerning and very attentive to detail. She also took what could have been a laborious process and made it a lot of fun. Thank you, Jan!
