Worksharks was born from the resilience and vision of Jill, a seasoned operations manager with over a decade of experience in corporate America. After dedicating 10 years to Verizon Wireless, Jill faced the harsh realities of workplace politics and systemic inequality. Despite her hard work and dedication, recognition was rare, and the credit for her contributions often went to others.

When the company began downsizing, Jill was unfairly targeted and placed in difficult positions, ultimately being laid off. Yet, this moment of adversity became her catalyst for change. With a healthy severance package in hand and a wealth of lessons on what not to do in business, Jill seized the opportunity to build something better.

Even while working full-time, Jill had been freelancing on Upwork, where her exceptional dedication earned her a loyal client base. For years, she worked 18-hour days, balancing her corporate responsibilities with her passion for freelance projects. When she was laid off, she realized the corporate grind had been holding her back. It was time to channel her skills, creativity, and heart into a venture that truly made a difference.

Jill founded Worksharks with two core missions: to empower businesses with exceptional support and to help job seekers find meaningful careers. She firmly believes that everyone deserves a job that brings joy and fulfillment—not just a paycheck. Worksharks offers free resources and guidance to the job-seeking community, challenging the traditional mindset of "job hunting" by encouraging individuals to value their worth and choose roles that align with their goals.

So, why the name "Worksharks"? Jill's inspiration came from the playful "Baby Shark" song—a favorite in her home. What started as a fun nickname for her freelance work has grown into a brand that embodies energy, determination, and an unstoppable drive to succeed.

Today, Worksharks stands as a beacon for both businesses and job seekers, fostering connections, delivering results, and helping everyone thrive.
