Career Coaching for Driven Professionals
Structured career coaching to help experienced professionals clarify direction, evaluate options, and make confident next-step decisions.
What I see most often isn’t lack of ability — it’s lack of clarity. Too many options. Roles that don’t quite fit. A sense that you could do more, but no clear answer on what that should look like.
This is where my work comes in.
I work with experienced professionals who need clarity and direction before making their next move — whether that’s a promotion, a pivot, or a more intentional next chapter. I help you define direction, connect the dots in your experience, and position your work in a way that actually makes sense for where you’re headed.
When the next move isn’t obvious
I'm the Job Girl

I’m Rebecca Henninger, founder of The Job Girl, and I help experienced professionals make clear, well-positioned career decisions when the next move isn’t obvious.
I get it because I’ve been there. Frustrated. Struggling with imposter syndrome. Unsure of my next step.
It wasn’t until I really got clear on my superpower and started sharing that message that I saw my own potential.
Through a collaborative, proprietary process that helped me launch a 6-figure business in a recession and empower thousands of clients just like you to land meaningful work, find balance, and multiply their earning potential, I will help you uncover what you love to do, dene what makes you great at it, and target your message so you can dierentiate yourself, get more interviews, and get hired faster.
As a coach, I’ll hold you accountable while you uncover your authentic career brand and connect the dots to build a career you love.
My clients aren’t starting from scratch. They’ve built real experience, carry meaningful responsibility, and are often successful on paper. What’s missing isn’t capability — it’s clarity. Roles no longer fit cleanly. Priorities shift. And familiar career paths stop making sense.
I work primarily with mid-career and senior professionals navigating leadership decisions, transitions, and redefining success — helping them clarify priorities, evaluate options, make confident decisions, and move forward with intention rather than guesswork.
Career clarity requires experience, perspective, and a proven framework
For an overview of what professional career coaching includes and when it’s most effective, see our guide to professional career coaching.
At this stage, you don’t need more materials — you need a clear point of view about who you are, what you’re best at, and where you’re headed next. Career coaching is designed to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and alignment at this stage of your career.
Clarify your strengths, priorities, and patterns of value so you’re no longer reacting to opportunities — you’re choosing them. This is where we identify what fits now, not what used to fit.
Articulate your value with precision and confidence. We define how your experience comes together into a clear narrative that resonates with decision-makers and supports the roles you’re targeting.
Once direction and positioning are clear, we translate strategy into execution — resumes, LinkedIn, interview messaging, and outreach — built to support a specific goal rather than cover every possibility.

Client Success Stories in Numbers
You don’t need more advice — you need a clear framework for making decisions and moving forward with intention at this stage of your career.
How the CLEAR™ Framework Helps You Land Roles with Confidence
Clarity
Clarity is knowing who you are, what you bring to the table, and where you want to go next. Together, we define your strengths, core themes, target roles, and the direction that makes sense based on your experience and goals. When you have clarity, you stop second-guessing yourself and start making decisions with confidence.
Language
Language is how you articulate your value clearly and credibly at your level. This includes the words, stories, and framing that show your impact. We translate your experience into clear, modern, leadership-ready messaging that resonates with hiring managers — on your resume, LinkedIn, interviews, and in everyday conversations.
Reputation
Reputation is how others experience you — online, in interviews, and in everyday interactions. We refine the way you present yourself so your personal brand is consistent, credible, and leadership-aligned. Your resume, LinkedIn, and messaging work together to reinforce a consistent professional identity.
Alignment
Alignment is making sure the roles you pursue actually fit your strengths, values, lifestyle, and long-term goals. It’s about choosing work that feels right — not just work you can do. When your career is aligned, you show up more confidently, communicate more clearly, and make decisions that support the life you want.
Execution
Execution is translating clear decisions into focused action. We create a doable strategy for your job search, networking, applications, and conversations. You’ll know exactly what to say, where to focus, and how to approach each part of your search so you stop spinning and start progressing.
How do I know which Coaching option Is right for me?
It depends on how clear you are about your next move.
If you already have direction and want help clarifying positioning, evaluating options, or deciding on next steps, the Career Strategy Intensive is usually the right place to start.
If you want ongoing strategic thinking support while navigating decisions in real time, Ongoing Career Coaching provides monthly advisory support.
If you’re navigating a larger transition — such as a pivot, senior-level move, or return to work after a long break — Next Chapter Advisory offers end-to-end support through offer acceptance.
If you’re unsure, we’ll determine the right entry point together during a Clarity Call.
What if I don’t know what I want next?
That’s common — and often the reason people seek coaching.
When direction isn’t clear, we focus first on personal brand clarity: identifying your strengths, patterns of value, and the environments where you do your best work. From there, we define direction and positioning before moving into execution. You don’t need to have the answers going in. That’s part of the work.
Do you work with clients outside New Jersey?
Yes. I’m based in Montville, NJ, but all coaching is delivered virtually. I work with clients across New Jersey and nationwide.
How is Career Coaching Different From Resume Writing?
Resume writing focuses on the document.
My work is grounded in personal branding — clarifying how your experience, strengths, and value should be understood at this stage of your career. Resumes and LinkedIn profiles are developed only after your brand narrative, positioning, and direction are clear, ensuring they accurately reflect who you are and where you’re going.
Do coaching programs include resume + LinkedIn?
How much do your coaching programs cost?
How do Sessions Work?
How do I get Started?
When appropriate, yes.
Resume and LinkedIn development are part of brand execution, not the starting point. Once your personal brand and positioning are clear, we translate that into career materials that support your goals and next chapter.
Pricing depends on the level of support:
Career Strategy Intensive: $695
Student Success: $1295
Branding Accelerator: $1495 - 1995
Next Chapter Advisory: From $2,495
Sessions are held virtually via Zoom and are focused on clarity, positioning, and decision-making.
For ongoing support, clients also have light between-session access via email or Slack to maintain momentum and continuity as their personal brand and strategy evolve.
Start with a Clarity Call. We’ll talk through where you are, what’s not working, and what you want next — then decide together whether Career Strategy Intensive, Ongoing Career Coaching, or Next Chapter Advisory is the right next step.
