OFFICIAL BIO:
I am a seasoned career coach based in South Florida and the author of the self-help book: Life on the Sunny Side: Inspirations for Busy Women That Will Ignite Your Dreams and Brighten Your Life.
Prior to my career as a coach, writer, and motivational speaker, I spent twenty years in the field of human resources. It offered everything I was seeking, an opportunity to be a talent scout, a compensation guru, and a consultant to management. My background includes managing human resource departments for start-ups, mid-range, and Fortune 500 companies. I have also worked for an international career management firm.
As a career consultant, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals assess and market their strengths, get that elusive first interview and land their job of choice. You can rely on me to know what employers look for in candidates and how to get their attention. As a former HR executive, seasoned career coach, and business/resume writer, I know first-hand about reinventing yourself as you change jobs, climb the career ladder and move around the country.
I hail from the mid-west, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree at Central Michigan University. Typical of my nickname, "Sunny," I fled the cold climate seeking a place in the sun. Since then, I have resided on both coasts.
Recently, after a decade or two in California, my husband and I returned to balmy southern Florida. I am affectionately labeling this new adventure “Florida Part II.” Truly loving the sunrise walks on the beach and munching on freshly caught grilled fish at funky beachside cafes. Happily settled in our new condo, a stone's throw from the Atlantic, I am still coaching, writing, and thoughtfully reinventing myself.

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I give my recommendation of Sunny.
I was a recipient of her resume and coaching services and could not be happier. She guided me through some difficult processes and elevated my professional image.
When times became tough, she took me through the negotiations and gave me the ability to push back and not give up.
I ended up getting great position with an excellent company. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a new career or making an internal transition.

I have worked with Sunny for several years on career coaching and building a strategy as I compete for various projects and clients. We also worked together on updating my resume to reflect my strengths as they relate to today’s very competitive job market.
Sunny has perfect instincts combined with experience and expertise that I value. I have received several contracts and several new clients, I believe because of Sunny's expert resume writing skills that helped me stand out in a crowd and land that interview.

I initially hired Sunny Simon to review and revise my outdated resume.
After speaking to this career coach, I realized she not only knew her way around the art of the resume, she is an experienced and observant strategist, good at reading people and quickly delivers unbiased value. Putting her on my team during my job search was a wise move.
If you’re looking for a career coach, call Sunny. She’s the full package:, highly capable, laser focused and dedicated to helping you reach the goal line.

She Leads by Example
I met Sunny years ago at a dinner with friends. When she walked into the room she sparkled. My first impression was that she was beautiful, funny, and so kind. At that time I was going through a major transition in my career. It was a good change but I needed some help that navigate through this.
One of my friends stated that Sunny is a career coach. I googled her and was immediately impressed by her background. She was a VP at Fortune 500 companies and had a great resume.
I called her that day to make an appointment. She was so patient. Right away I knew she wanted to help me. She can see through people and enable them to see their own greatness. She provides guidance on how to handle negative experiences. She helped me to identify how I wanted to improve my life and how to overcome self-imposed obstacles. Sunny focused on my growth and not her untouchable expertise.
Sunny is a wonderful coach. She leads by example. She is a shining light to the many people she has helped.

So very often, we do not see in ourselves the talents and skills that others might see. Jan "Sunny" Simon is one of the most perceptive and intuitive individuals I have ever met in my life.
She is blessed with such extraordinary abilities to understand,communicate and help anyone focus.
I recommend and endorse Sunny with zero reservations... and am blessed to know her and call her my career adviser and friend.
Paul Craig, Memphis, TN
Sometimes when you meet a person, you just know they are genuine and that they know instinctively how to move people to action.
Jan "Sunny" Simon is that person. Her nickname says it all. Sunny takes her incredibly impressive background in HR as a Vice President of a Fortune 500 company, adds her warm and "sunny" disposition and uses it to coach people through life's changes.
When it comes to hiring a career coach who can make a difference and help you navigate change in your life, there is no one better than Sunny.
