I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I have grown so much from taking the personality profile and from the introduction to "emotional intelligence". The activities, lessons and homework assignments have helped me narrow down what I will most likely pursue. And I have my resume and dark suit ready for my interview. The workshops helped raise my confidence level and focus my attention on what I need to do to obtain meaningful work!

JumpSTART Your Career Background

About Us  |  Mission  |  Background  |  Staff & Board Of Directors

JumpSTART Your Career is a program of The Alexandra Surdyk Jones Foundation, Inc., a 501-C-3 organization founded in 2006 and dedicated to helping women build successful attitudes in order to achieve their personal and professional goals and become self-sufficient.

JumpSTART Your Career was created in memory of Alexandra Surdyk Jones by her mother, Suze Surdyk Jones, who serves as the organization’s founder. The inspiration came from Alexandra’s concern for and interest in women struggling to find satisfying careers in a competitive culture with many possibilities as well as challenges. Her untimely death at the age of 31 brought her mother together with several other highly motivated business women and community leaders to develop a program to benefit women.
