You’ve built a successful career — but at a certain point, experience alone isn’t enough. When the next step isn’t obvious, resumes stop working, confidence wavers, and decision-making stalls.
I help mid-career and senior professionals make sense of what they’ve built, define what they want next, and position themselves strategically so every move — from networking to resumes to interviews — supports a clear direction.
Career Coaching for High-Achieving Professionals in New Jersey & Nationwide
Career Coaching for Professionals Navigating What’s Next
Helping experienced and executive professionals clarify direction, sharpen their positioning, and move forward with confidence — whether you’re preparing for a promotion, pivot, or reinvention.
Career coaching at this stage is not about motivation or accountability. It’s about clarifying what you’re building toward and positioning your experience to support it.
I work with experienced and executive professionals to:
- Make sense of complex, multi-chapter careers
- Identify strengths that consistently create value
- Define roles, environments, and paths that align now
- Translate clarity into confident decision-making
Only once direction is clear do we move into execution — resumes, LinkedIn, interviews, and outreach — built to support a strategy rather than guess at one.
Career clarity comes before resumes, applications, or next steps

I’m Rebecca Henninger, founder of The Job Girl®. For more than 15 years, I’ve worked with experienced and executive professionals navigating complex career transitions — from mid-career pivots to senior leadership moves.
My clients aren’t starting over. They’re making sense of deep experience, evolving priorities, and careers that no longer fit into a single title or track.
My work focuses on career clarity, strategic positioning, and modern personal branding — helping professionals articulate their value, make confident decisions, and move forward with intention rather than guesswork.

Career clarity requires experience, perspective, and a proven framework
You don’t need more advice — you need a clear framework for decision-making, positioning, and execution at this stage of your career. My CLEAR™ Career Framework is a proven system that helps experienced professionals navigate promotions, pivots, and reinvention with clarity and confidence — without relying on guesswork or generic job search tactics.
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 communicate your value. 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 support the professional identity you want to be known for.
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 the plan — the practical steps you take to move your career forward. 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.
You don’t need a collection of documents — you need a clear point of view about who you are, what you’re best at, and where you’re headed next. My work follows a structured, strategic process designed for experienced professionals navigating complexity, change, or growth. We start with clarity, translate it into positioning, and then execute with intention — so every step supports a defined direction rather than guesswork.
This work is iterative, strategic, and tailored — 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
How do I know which program Is right for me?
It depends on how clear you are about your next move.
If you already know the direction you want to pursue and need help sharpening your positioning, the Brand Foundation or Career Strategy Intensive is usually the right place to start.
If you’re navigating a bigger transition — redefining direction, exploring options, or preparing for a senior move — the Next Chapter Accelerator provides advisory support through the full transition.
If you’re unsure, we’ll determine the right entry point together.
What if I don’t know what I want next?
That’s common — and it’s often the reason people come to this work.
When direction isn’t clear, the focus shifts from execution to strategy. We slow the process down, assess what fits now, and build a clear point of view before any job search activity begins.
You don’t need to have the answers — that’s part of the work.
Do you work with clients outside New Jersey?
Yes. I work with clients across New Jersey and nationwide through virtual coaching and advisory engagements.
What’s the difference between this Work and resume writing?
Resume writing focuses on the document.
This work focuses on direction, positioning, and decision-making — with resumes and LinkedIn developed only once clarity is established.
Most clients who come to this work are not looking for a better resume alone. They want confidence, alignment, and a strategy for what comes next.
Do coaching programs include resume + LinkedIn?
Yes — when appropriate.
Career materials are developed as part of execution once direction and positioning are clear, ensuring they accurately reflect your strengths, goals, and next chapter.
