What is JAYEM?

JAYEM is a fun way to say my initials JM (Jennifer McCloskey) = JAYEM
 
I guess the next question is…WHO is JAYEM?

I was a little kid with a vivid imagination, who loved school and was a “tad” (okay maybe “A LOT”) bossy who grew up to be a big kid who is creative, is always learning and who is a leader who loves to inspire others so that they can find fulfillment in their careers.

My 25+ career path has zigged and zagged and it has been filled with excitement, and sometimes fear. But most importantly it has been a completely satisfying ride. I have worked in corporate, education, and as an entrepreneur. But the one constant in my career is that I have ALWAYS followed my passion and found a way to love what I do…most days!

In 2015, my career and my life changed significantly when I was diagnosed with cancer for the first time.

I loved my career so much I was determined to not let cancer take that away from me. And it did not. But it definitely changed how I viewed my life and career, so I happily pivoted and subsequently thrived.

But at the end of 2019, my cancer returned. This time more aggressively than the last time and I was shook. Everything I knew had to change, including my career, so this time I reluctantly pivoted. But guess what? I am still thriving. 

 

Cancer was a significant life event that brought me to my calling…JAYEM.

  • Very thorough. Made it exciting. She believed in what she was training. She got the group involved. When asked for help she was able to provide very good examples to lead the group in the right direction. She was very well-spoken. Loved her humour and most of all her facilitation kept me awake. An excellent training day!

  • It was a true pleasure to participate in Jennifer’s “Your Career After” workshop. Her experience and enthusiasm for what she does really shines through. Jennifer has incredible knowledge and understanding of the many ways to present your skills and how to use social media sites and platforms to get your message and content across. Her passionate story-telling approach to career coaching is a unique, effective, and infectious way to share information. She clearly works hard to stay current on needs and trends in the HR industry. The combination of Jennifer’s experience, knowledge, and spirit makes her a valuable resource. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is looking to grow or pivot in their career.

  • I feel much more confident when updating my resume and LinkedIn after gong through this workshop. The materials and handouts were all very helpful and I will use them in the future as I get back into the workforce. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start interviewing. It sets you up for success.

  • It was a pleasure to work with Jennifer and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again. She was a very positive force in our workplace and a great agent of change.

  • Jenn was instrumental in helping me figure out how to set up my business. I had no idea how to go about this. Jenn was very patient and kind with her approach, directional information, and virtual follow-ups. Her follow-up emails to me were easy to comprehend and execute. What I didn’t understand, she was more than happy to elaborate on the process for my desired outcome. I am extremely proud to say, I now have business cards, logo, brand, and a following on Instagram and Facebook! I also have resources for bookkeeping and registering my business. None of this would have been possible without Jenn’s professional expertise. A fabulous woman to work with, very upbeat with contagious energy! Thanks, so much Jenn, U ROCK Lady!

  • Jennifer has been a great HR Partner. Her insights – founded in training and experience – effectively balanced the voice of the associate and the evolving needs of the business. She build true partnerships by lending leadership guidance and infusing genuine engagement across her team. I would recommend her as an HR Partner or Consultant to any organization.

  • Jenn is so inspiring and always helps me see the bigger picture. I always come away with a new perspective and a new goal. I highly recommend her to everyone I meet.

    Mary Graham (Workshop Client)

  • We were most fortunate to have Jennifer host a workshop series, “Your Career After...Cancer,” as part of the program of support we offer at Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka for all who are living with the impact of a cancer diagnosis. We owe much to Jennifer for the incredible amount of time, attention to detail, research, preparation, and planning that she put into this remarkable series. Our participants provide overwhelming feedback to her tangible strategies, caring and empowering demeanor, and vast knowledge of current trends and ever-changing realities of the job market. She was able to tailor, in real-time, her weekly offerings to the evolving and very personal needs of the participants. Clear, measurable, and most discernible performance outcomes are indicative of the incredible impact Jennifer’s talent, skill, and professionalism has had on those who participated in the series. A real pleasure to partner in this innovative offering, we look forward to working with Jennifer again in the near future.
