About Jeremy Hill
Â
Finding a job you love is hard. So many of us toil in jobs where we are underpaid, underappreciated, and can’t advance our career. We’ve all been there.
A few years ago, I found myself searching for a job for the fourth time in five years – mostly being laid off after a shift in company ownership.
I’ll never forget how unfair it felt or how hard each job loss hit me – especially when I had to come home and tell my family. Despite all my effort or what my accomplishments were, I didn’t have control over what would happen to my career or our finances. Each time, the uncertainty of a job search left me stressing about finding a home for my career.
It was humiliating, and I felt like a failure.
I started this company to help people avoid feeling that way, leveraging two decades of experience helping people align their job with their skills, values, and personal dreams.
Schedule a Free IntroductionThat experience not only taught me how to get GOOD at finding a new job, but it also reinforced my PASSION for helping others do the same.
Then, in December 2022, I found myself fortunate to be in MY Dream Job as a Consultant and Trainer, attending a job fair representing my employer.
I was struck by how much help the attendees were asking for – their elevator pitches, how to prioritize the companies and roles they should apply to, building resumes, communicating their fit for a job, etc.
On the drive home, it occurred to me:
- I am passionate about helping people improve their careers.
- I am good at the job application and career-switching process – my methodology has worked for me and many others, and I have a “teach you how to fish” approach.
- This could do a lot of good in the world by helping people build satisfying, sustainable careers.
When you find that alignment… aren’t you supposed to do something like that for the rest of your life?
Â
That’s when I started The Dream Job Network with the mission of having a positive impact on as many careers as possible - intentionally unlimited. I've added a second mission: to democratize networking as a job search strategy all the way down to high school.

“I was introduced to Jeremy through a former professor, as I was aspiring to become a consultant in the United States. Not only did I have to navigate the difficulties of finding my first job, I also had to deal with the added complications of requiring a visa in a market where companies rarely hired international students. Jeremy helped re-shape my outreach strategy, finding processes that would yield more effective results, and provided me with interview support to best position myself throughout the whole process. With Jeremy’s guidance, I eventually landed my role as a consultant in the U.S. Ultimately, the work with Jeremy effectively turned around my job search and has well-positioned me moving forward throughout my career. I know the tools Jeremy provided have set up the foundation for when I look to my next opportunity.”
