SATURDAY SIGNAL BOOST NEEDED 🚨
💛 If you see this, please pause and read 💛

LinkedIn family — I need your help today.

I’m currently navigating an unexpected financial emergency while actively interviewing for roles in Talent Acquisition / People Operations. I’ve made it to multiple second rounds (so close 🤞🏽), but in the meantime, my bank account is overdrafted and I’m working to stabilize things immediately.

Weekends can be quiet on LinkedIn — which is exactly why engagement matters more right now. A comment, reaction, or repost could push this to someone who can help.

If you’re in a position to support financially and help me bridge this gap, here are direct options (to avoid additional platform fees):

💸 Zelle: jadaljenkins@outlook.com
💜 Venmo: @JadaJenkins96
❤️ CashApp: jayjaylyric96

If donating isn’t possible (and I understand that completely), you can still make a huge impact by:
• Reposting this
• Tagging someone hiring in TA / Recruiting / People Ops
• Sending referrals or contract leads
• Dropping a comment to boost visibility

I don’t ask lightly. But I believe in community — and I fully intend to pay this forward when I’m back on stable ground.

If you’ve ever benefited from LinkedIn community support, you know how powerful this network can be. I’m humbly asking for that energy today.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for caring. 🫶🏽

Midday gratitude moment 🙏

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shown support, encouragement, and kindness on this post today. It truly means a lot during this transition.

As I prepare to start my new role, I’m working to close a $1,399 gap until my first paycheck arrives. Covering this amount will help me stay afloat during this transition.

If anyone feels led to help, even $5, $10, or sharing this post makes a real difference in getting closer to that goal.

I’m incredibly grateful for this community and every bit of support. Thank you. 💛

Ending the day with gratitude. 🙏

Today I shared that I recently accepted a new role, and I’m incredibly thankful for all the encouragement and kindness from this community. Your messages and support truly mean a lot during this transition.

While I’m excited for this next chapter, I’m still working to close a small financial gap until my first paycheck arrives.

If anyone feels led to help, even $5, $10, or simply sharing this post truly makes a difference.

Tonight I’m asking my LinkedIn community for a little help. ❤️

After months of interviews and staying persistent, I’m finally getting close to the next chapter in my career. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities ahead, and I’ll be sharing more details very soon.

That said, the time between now and my first paycheck has been challenging financially. My account is currently overdrawn, and I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat while I transition into this next role.

If anyone in my network is willing to help with a small donation, it would truly mean a lot during this short but difficult period.

You can support here:

Even a small amount helps more than you know. And if donating isn’t possible, a like, comment, or share helps this reach someone who may be able to help.

This community has always reminded me how powerful support and kindness can be. Thank you all for being part of that. 🙏

In the past 24 hours, I’ve had several people reach out asking about my interview process — what I did differently this time and how long the journey took. So I wanted to share a little transparency. 👇

First, the truth: this process required me to be more vulnerable than I’ve ever been in my career.

Instead of quietly job searching, I leaned into my network. 🤝
I reached out to connections.
I asked for conversations.
I followed up.
I put myself out there even when it felt uncomfortable.

And honestly? That made the biggest difference.

The job search process can feel isolating, but the reality is community is powerful. So many people offered advice, made introductions, checked in, or simply encouraged me to keep going. 💬

If you’re navigating a job search right now, my biggest takeaway is this:

✨ Don’t be afraid to reach out
✨ Don’t underestimate your network
✨ And don’t feel like you have to do it alone

Sometimes the opportunity isn’t just in the application — it’s in the conversation.

To everyone who supported, connected, or took the time to talk with me along the way — thank you. It meant more than you know. 🙏

For those who have gone through a job search recently — what helped you the most during your process?
