Challenges

INTRO.............................................

When I moved to Australia, I faced one of the biggest challenges of my life—rebuilding my career. I had a solid professional background with several years of experience in India, but after taking a six-year break to care for my family, my career felt like it had come to a standstill.

Upon arriving in Australia, I could only find casual work that paid a low, unstable salary. For six months, I was stuck in a temporary role that didn’t reflect my skills or potential. Deep down, I believed I could do much more, but my employment gap made it hard to even get noticed by employers. The lack of local experience and the competitive job market further added to the difficulties.

Strategies

LEARNING............................

Joining Thea Ho’s coaching program was the best decision I made during this time. Her strategies were exactly what I needed to restart my career.

My original resume was outdated and uninspiring, focusing on tasks instead of achievements. In India, it wasn’t common to highlight accomplishments in resumes, so I hadn’t included any. Thea taught me how to transform my resume by showcasing the value I brought to my previous roles. She helped me craft a compelling narrative around my work, even addressing the six-year gap in a way that didn’t deter employers but instead positioned me as a strong candidate.

Thea didn’t just stop at the resume. She helped me revamp my cover letter, turning it into a powerful tool that spoke directly to the needs of hiring managers. My LinkedIn profile also got a complete makeover. She showed me how to make my profile highly searchable and visually impressive, ensuring it would catch the attention of recruiters.

Results

SUCCESS.................

I never imagined what would happen next. I didn’t even need to apply for the job that changed my life! Thanks to my revamped LinkedIn profile, an HR manager reached out to me directly, impressed by my profile’s clarity and relevance to their needs.

I was invited to four interviews, which could have been intimidating, but Thea’s coaching had prepared me well. Her interview strategies included a list of commonly asked questions and guided answers that I tailored to my experiences. These strategies gave me the confidence to tackle any question with clarity and focus.

The entire process moved faster than I could have dreamed. From the initial LinkedIn message to the job offer, it took just 10 days! Not only did I land the role, but the salary was 20% higher than my expectations.

Today, I’m working as a Data & Analytics Consultant, a position that perfectly aligns with my professional background. This role has given me the financial stability and confidence to support my family and rebuild my career.

Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far I’ve come. Just months ago, I was struggling to find meaningful work, doubting my skills, and feeling stuck in a job that didn’t align with my goals. Now, I’m thriving in a role where I can apply my expertise, learn new skills, and grow professionally.

Thea’s coaching program was the key to unlocking these opportunities. Her strategies not only helped me create a standout application but also gave me the confidence to embrace interviews and present myself as the professional I always knew I could be.

Thank you, Thea, for helping me achieve this milestone. I couldn’t have done it without your guidance and support!
