Hi, I’m Jacqui,
the founder of
What She Did Next.

Jacqui Oooi Career Change

I remember all too well how it feels to be stuck on the wrong career path. When your work no longer feels like ‘you’, it can really wear you down.

I love what I do for work now and the much freer life I’ve created for myself. But it took a whole lot of learning and some brave leaps to make it happen.

That’s why I started What She Did Next to help other women navigate their career change journey. What began as a storytelling platform has evolved into a specialist career guidance service.

As a qualified career practitioner, I help people redesign their careers to align with the future they want and empower them with the tools to make it happen.

  • “The course was so beneficial to really see a clear picture of who I am and what I want to do. My biggest takeaway is having permission to re-write what I want to do and feeling empowered to do it!”

    Mandy, VIC

  • "Three months after I completed the course, I started my own consulting business. It was the BEST decision for me to take a leap into a new career journey."

    Amanda, NSW

  • “Thanks so much for today! The content was enlightening, inspiring and practical. You were a super engaging presenter and the group setting was really comforting.”

    Yuuki, NSW

  • “It can be very isolating thinking everyone around you has their life figured out. I can't thank you enough for your energy and dedication to supporting women like this.”
