Testimonials

  • I’ve been on the same career path for over 10 years and didn’t know where to begin to switch. Jess helped me find a whole new trade path that changed my whole trajectory. If you want to find a better career, she’s the one that’ll make sure you find it.

  • “Jess found my online profile and thought immediately of an open position she was working on. She thought I would be a great fit for it, did all the legwork setting up an interview, but that position ended up being filled internally. But not to worry, she quite quickly contacted me regarding another open position. I interviewed and was offered the job! I had not heard of TradeUp Careers. This was my first experience with them. I definitely will refer them to friends and family. Thank you Jessica”
