Life can get a little crazy when you’re a Gen X woman. From taking care of aging parents, to becoming grandparents ourselves, our role changes faster than the speed of light.
Add to this the fact that many of us find ourselves in need of a new job thanks to changing technologies, and it can all get overwhelming rather quickly…
No matter what it feels like right now, it’s important to remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Countless Gen X women are finding themselves at a crossroads when it comes to their careers.
Thanks to AI, many of us are discovering that we aren’t quite as irreplaceable as we would have liked to believe, and are being downsized or offboarded to make way for a smaller, digitally-native staff.
So now we have two options: bitch about it and starve…
Or pivot, and THRIVE.
We are the generation whose parents had to be reminded they had children. We drank from garden hoses, mall surfed, and learned at far too young an age that Reality Bites. We survived Blockbuster, Glamour Shots, shoulder pads and Aqua Net – and damnit, we can survive this, too!
The world has changed, and the old way of writing and formatting resumes doesn’t work anymore. These days, resumes are read by a machine before they’re ever sent to a human; and if your resume isn’t formatted correctly, or has any of the telltale signs of being written by AI, a human will never see it. All the resumes I write are 100% written by me, and formatted to be read by both humans and the applicant tracking systems that get hold of it first.
I offer two resume packages:
This one’s for you if you’re planning to stay in the same industry, and are seeking the same position with a different company, or want to make a lateral move within the same company.
Package Includes:
If you’re looking to change careers entirely, this is the package for you. It all starts with a chat about how to reframe the experience you have for the new career you want.
Package Includes:
Life is hard enough for the Gen X woman; finding your next opportunity – whether by choice or necessity – shouldn’t make it harder.
The Pivot & Thrive Coaching Program is a 30-day intensive designed to help Gen X women reassess and redefine their skill set, and build the confidence they need to tackle the next chapter of their career.
If it’s been years since you’ve written a resume, searched for a job, or sat through an interview, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll rediscover your strengths, regain your confidence, and prepare for what’s next. We’ll translate your decades of life and work experience into something today’s employers recognize, and remind you that your experience is an advantage, not a liability.
Most career coaching programs take anywhere from two to twelve months. You and I both know you don’t have that kind of time – and Gen X women definitely don’t have that kind of patience. That’s why the Pivot & Thrive Coaching Program is intentionally designed to help you build clarity, confidence, and momentum in just 30 days.
What makes it different is simple: I’m not coaching from a textbook. I’m a Gen X woman who spent more than three decades building a career before finding myself facing the same uncertainty you’re probably feeling now. I’ve navigated today’s hiring process, learned how to translate decades of experience into today’s language, and discovered that reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new – it’s about recognizing the value that’s been there all along.
The Pivot & Thrive Coaching Program is designed for Gen X women who are ready for something new – whether that’s a better position in the career they already love or an entirely different path.
This program is for you if:
The 30-day program covers everything you need to rediscover your confidence, and take the leap forward into what comes next.
Over the first four weeks, we’ll talk twice a week, with a single call in week five, and cover the following goals:
Week 1: Rediscover Your Direction
Week 2: Redefine Your Value
Week 3: Build Momentum
Week 4: Show Up With Confidence
Week 5: Take Flight
I get it – you’re going to need more than nice words and pretty pictures to decide whether or not you want to work with me.
Let’s have a quick chat – no hard sell, just a couple of new friends getting to know one another. We’ll have a nice cup of coffee, chat about your goals, and see if we’re a good fit. The call is free, and there’s absolutely no obligation.

Hi, my name’s Jes, and, like you, I’m a proud Gen Xer.
I’m not only the Pivot & Thrive Program coach… I’m also its first member.
After spending 35 years in the world of UX design and marketing, I found myself being slowly pushed out of projects in favor of AI agents like ChatGPT and Copilot. After all – why would someone pay expert wages for something they could get done for free? I quickly discovered that the job search landscape had changed, and I was going to have to change too if I wanted to keep up.
Ultimately, my experience made me realize that a change was in order if I wanted to keep paying those pesky bills that insisted on showing up each month – and so the Pivot & Thrive Program was born.
Now I help other Gen X women who find themselves at a career crossroads without any idea where to go next, and provide them with the same, simple roadmap that got things back on track for me.
I’d love to tell you more about it, so book a call and let’s chat!
