Narrative:
This was an instrument training flight in VMC under VFR. I was the cfii and the private pilot in the left seat was using a view-limiting device while I remained on lookout. We were climbing out on the published missed approach from the ILS 15 lhm and had just contacted norcal approach about the time we were reaching 1;000 feet MSL. Immediately after hearing our transmission; the controller issued a traffic advisory of a [corporate jet] inbound to lincoln. I looked out the right window and saw the aircraft and realized we were on a potential collision course with the jet. I took control and leveled off the plane; allowing the jet to pass over us. I would estimate that the [jet] passed within 200 feet. It appeared to be on a crosswind entry to the pattern at lincoln. Neither my student nor I recall hearing any position reports by the jet while we were still on lincoln's CTAF. It's possible the crew had just been switched over to advisory close to the moment when we were switching back to norcal. Despite our responsibility as a VFR flight to see and avoid; sometimes you're just not looking in the right place at the right time; and I believe the controller should have been a bit more careful in anticipating the possible conflict if she was indeed handling the inbound [jet].
