Partner with us on your professional career progression at the undergraduate student, transitioning MBA student, or working professional phases of life.

The JumpStart Advisory Group offers a proactive alternative to traditional career preparatory methodologies of diverse talent. Building on the approach resulting in 19 job offers while pursuing an MBA between the two co-founders, a “7 Rules of Engagement in Recruiting” article was written and later they launched JumpStart to make an impact.

Leveraging over 30 years of professional experiences in business functions, professional advisory roles, and leadership roles, we understand life in transition and as a working professional.

Our approach has been successful for individuals seeking awareness of career opportunities, context on what that means, interview preparatory guidance and a network of support to attain internships and or full time roles.

Our approach has focused on exposure to many industries such as financial services, management consulting, consumer product goods, technology, healthcare, energy, or the non-profit sector.

Additionally, our model has been successful in preparing candidates for specific functional careers including, but not limited to investment banking, asset management, investment management, corporate finance, investment management, private equity, and venture capital. Separate from the finance career track, we have great history with our network in strategy & management consulting, brand & product management, general management, technology, engineering, and marketing & sales.
