Challenges

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

Starting fresh in a new country can be daunting, especially when you have no local experience or professional network to rely on. Before moving, I had years of experience working in Vietnam, but I knew breaking into the market here would be a challenge.

While my English is average as a non-native speaker, I didn’t see it as a major barrier. What I lacked in fluency, I made up for in determination. My biggest hurdles were adapting my application to a new job market and figuring out how to position myself to stand out against local candidates.

Strategies

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

I connected with Thea Ho shortly after arriving in Australia and started working with her right away. Her strategies were exactly what I needed to navigate the challenges of starting a career in a new country.

First, Thea showed me how to craft an impressive application. Before working with her, I didn’t know how to highlight my achievements in a way that resonated with local employers. Together, we transformed my resume into a document that not only showcased my skills but also aligned perfectly with the roles I was applying for.

One of the most valuable parts of Thea’s coaching was how she helped me gain a deep understanding of my own professional profile. This wasn’t just about creating a great resume—it was about identifying my strengths and experiences and learning how to communicate them effectively.

Because of this preparation, I felt confident and ready when it came time for interviews. Thea’s strategies helped me craft convincing answers that demonstrated why I was the right fit for the job.

Results

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

The results were faster than I ever imagined. I started applying for jobs using my new application and received several interview opportunities with local companies within just one week. I couldn’t believe how quickly things were moving, but I knew it was a testament to the strength of my application and preparation.

Within one month of arriving in the new country, I landed a full-time job with a giant retailer that everyone knows. Even more exciting, I was hired as a Commercial Manager and am now leading a team of five people.

I love my work and the company I’m part of. Every day, I go to the office with a smile on my face, knowing that I’m making a difference and contributing to my team’s success. Leading my team to achieve ambitious targets every month has been incredibly rewarding, and I feel a deep sense of pride in what we accomplish together.

Outside of work, my new role has allowed me to create a beautiful balance between my career and family life. Every weekend, I enjoy quality time with my husband and child, exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer.

Landing a full-time role in just one month felt like a record-breaking achievement, and I couldn’t have done it without Thea’s guidance. Her strategies gave me the tools and confidence to stand out in a competitive market and secure a job I love.

For anyone navigating the challenges of starting a career in a new country, working with Thea is an investment worth making.
