First Ever Global Job Search = Job Offers in 3 Countries ๐, Higher Salary, More Confidence ๐
Haein first reached out after spending her whole career as a digital marketer in Korea focused on Korean localization.
Initially, she expected a simple resume edit and general interview advice, but we went way beyond that.ย
We:
- Reviewed her entire career to find all of her unique selling points
- Created a standout resume, LinkedIn Profile, and online marketing portfolio showing her best career results
- Found the perfect jobs for her to apply to and networked withย
- Wrote messages to hiring teams at every company when she applied
- Role-played, researched, and prepared for every stage of interviews
As a result, she earned 3 offers in 3 countriesย ๐.
She was able to choose not just 'a job', but truly the best job for her.ย
AMAZING work, Haein. You are an incredible marketer and your new company is very lucky to have you ;)

Words Scott heard from many people in Korea. ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐๐จ๐๐๐ฌ, he didn't listen...
At 47 years old, with a wife and 2 teenage kids, he was determined to take his career to the United States ๐บ๐ธ for the first time ever.ย
When we first met to discuss my coaching, his exact words were:
'0 ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ. ๐๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ฎ.'
๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, he officially signed a job offer andย moved to the US with his whole family ๐ .

It's at the exact company he wanted (his top choice out of the 4 he interviewed at)
โ
He'll be earning $100K+ USD per year (in a 'not very expensive' area of the US! He'll have no problem providing his family with an amazing life there)
โ
It's his ideal location and start date
โ
He's shown his family what a great provider he is
โ
His friends and (now former) colleagues are amazed that he was able to make this happen so quickly

It's not 'too late'.
Your BEST years in terms of salary, impact, and career satisfaction can still be ahead.ย
You just need the right plan and the courage to take action ๐ค
AMAZING work, Scott. So happy for you and your family :)
Earning a $130,000/Year Fully Remote Engineering Job at Only 23 Years Old
Chloeย came to the US planning to quickly find work as a software engineer, only to spend months searching with very few interviews, 0 offers, and growing more stressed the entire time.ย When she finally decided to work with me, she was seriously doubting whether getting a role in the US would ever happen for her.
We:
- Reviewed her entire career in detail finding every unique accomplishment, highlight, and result that showed what makes her special
- Planned powerful reasons for coming to the US and working in techย
- Completely rewrote her LinkedIn, Resume, and every cover letter based on what's statistically proven to get the most interviews
- Planned every networking message she sent to people at all her target companies so she made a great first impressionย
- Role played every part of every interview from the small talk at the beginning to the questions Chloe asked to make sure she connected with the interviewer, showed her unique value, and stood out from all the other candidates
The Result?
Less than 2 months after starting my program, Chloe accepted a fully remote, $100K+/year job at a fast-growing tech startup in Chicago.
She now absolutely loves her new job, gets to travel all over the US, and can't imagine ever going back to the long subway commutes she had while in Seoul.
So happy for you, Chloe. Awesome work! :)

Life-Changing Senior Global Marketing Role in Singapore
JK had spent over 10 years at the same company and was ready for a new challenge. However, Singapore's job market is competitive and she wasn't sure how to stand out...

...She also feels much more confident about:
โ Her LinkedIn
โ Using English in important business situations
โ How to impress global hiring teams
