Helping Women Navigate Career Transitions with Confidence

Hi, I'm Janine, Career Consultant and Job Search Strategist

Before starting Aspire Lane, I spent many years in recruitment where I reviewed thousands of resumes, interviewed hundreds of candidates, and participated in many hiring decisions. I know exactly what employers are looking for and what holds them back.

Now, I use that insight to help women like you return to work with clarity, confidence and a plan that fits your skills, your aspirations and your life.

I’m here to help you:

  • Discover strengths you might have overlooked

  • Rebuild your confidence to approach the job market with purpose

  • Refresh your resume and job search tools so they stand out

  • Design a career path that feels right for your current life, that could mean a new role or even starting your own venture

What I believe:

  • A career break doesn’t diminish your professional value. You can return with clarity, confidence and a fresh perspective.

  • You get to shape what comes next on your terms.

  • Your work should fit your life, not the other way around.

A Little More About Me…

Originally from New Zealand and now based in Australia, I love a good coffee, a good wine and being offline and outdoors in nature (although I don’t think I do it nearly enough). Plus, I’m always up for any excuse to plan a holiday!

I also understand the juggle that comes with changing life priorities. Over the years, I’ve navigated my own career transitions, stepping back, shifting gears and reshaping work to fit around what matters most to me.

I know what it’s like to question what’s next and how challenging it can be to re-enter the workforce with confidence.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping women return to work in a way that feels aligned, sustainable and fulfilling.

Because this isn’t only about finding work, it’s about creating a work life that truly fits
you now.
