I Was You Not Long Ago
When I moved to Australia, I was full of hope—ready to start a new life in a beautiful country. But reality hit hard. The job market was nothing like what I’d known. I had over 10 years of marketing experience, including regional roles at global brands like Colgate Palmolive, but none of that seemed to matter here.
In Australia, I had no local experience. No network. No PR. English wasn't my first language.
I arrived in November—peak holiday season, when hiring freezes and “no response” emails were the norm. I applied for skilled jobs, but nothing. Even when I got interviews, they led nowhere. Every job ad seemed to want something I didn’t have: local experience, citizenship, or “native-level” English.
I felt invisible. Unwanted. Alone.
And I worried. The longer I was unemployed, the worse my resume gap got—and the more hopeless it all felt.
But Everything Changed
I stopped relying on job ads and took a bold step: I reached out directly to a hiring manager at a company I loved. Within one hour, he pitched my application to HR. Within two weeks, I signed my first job offer in Australia.
It was a full-time, permanent Senior Manager role—one level higher than what I applied for.
I had no local experience. But I had the right application, the right strategy, and the right story.
That was the first win.
Since then, I’ve landed three skilled, full-time jobs in marketing—including one during a recession, in under 7 days. These roles were in new industries, working directly with CEOs, and managing entire marketing departments. I’ve switched from B2C to B2B, from consumer goods to tech—without prior experience.
Because when you have the right job search skills, the sky is your limit.
From Stuck to Strong. From Surviving to Thriving.
Every international student or migrant I’ve worked with started in the same place:
📉 Rejections. Silence. Visa stress. Resume gaps. Doubts about their English.
📈 What followed? Skilled jobs. Life-changing offers. Career freedom. A new beginning in Australia.
They didn’t have local experience. They weren’t PR or citizens.
They weren’t sure they belonged.
Now they’re leading teams, switching industries, earning salaries beyond what they thought possible—and applying for citizenship.
Some worked with me through my coaching program. Others began with just a free resume template.
But they all share one thing:
They took action. And it changed everything.
The Truth No One Tells You
They say migrants can’t land skilled jobs.
They say temporary visas will block you.
They say you need to do labour work or stay unemployed.
They’re wrong. I’m living proof.
And now, I teach others how to do the same.
I combine real-world marketing expertise with deep insight into how employers think—so you can craft a resume, cover letter, and interview that actually converts. Because job searching is marketing. And marketing is what I do best.
Why I Still Do This
I work full-time. But I’ll never stop helping international students and migrants.
Because I’ve been where you are.
Because I know what’s possible.
And because I believe every migrant deserves the chance to thrive—not just survive.
If you’re ready to change your story, I’d love to help.
