Bio
Heather Strazzanti, MBA
Jamie is one of the most genuine Career Coaches I’ve encountered. His Jam Sessions are always video calls so you can see each other and you always know you have his undivided attention. He will give as long as it takes to a topic to get you on the right footing, and will come back to you as often as you need answer questions, offer additional guidance, and even raise you to the notice of potential employers and the LinkedIn community. Jamie’s services are reasonably priced and he is invested in his clients ‘til the end and beyond…he sticks by his people through what can be a tough and scary time for many (unemployment and job seeking are no fun!). I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking help, guidance, and basically just to up their game. Jamie is your man. If you’re in doubt, or if you’re shopping for a Career Coach, schedule a Discovery Call with him and spend 15 minutes on a VIDEO call to see for yourself. He’s a great guy and I’m better off for having encountered him and enlisted his guidance.

If you're on the hunt for a job and looking to up your interview game, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Jamie. His insights and strategies transformed my entire approach to interviews. I went from having no job offers to juggling 5 amazing opportunities. Jamie is the complete package - professional, positive, and even funny, which made our sessions enjoyable and effective. In a crowded market of career coaches, Jamie stood out as someone who genuinely cared about my job search success. His commitment was evident through his regular check-ins and lightning-fast responses to any follow-up questions I had. Jamie is the coach you need in your corner if you're serious about landing your dream job. He's not just a coach; he's a game-changer for your career.

I am writing this recommendation for Jamie Edwards who supported me with an interview prep session. Jamie Edwards is an absolute pleasure to work with! He was well organized, genuine, down to earth, and I really think anyone who feels unprepared or not as confident as they would like to before for their next interview, should sign up with Jamie. His prep session was exactly what I needed to get myself organized and prepared for interviews. He also took the time to answer any additional questions I had or anything I might have been unsure about. Jamie knows his stuff and also makes an effort to continue to reach out to me to check in and see how I'm doing on the job front. I thought his sessions were affordable and worth every penny as well!
