My Journey as a Career Coach and an International Executive Recruiter

Hi, I'm Dhara.

I possess almost 5 years of experience in recruiting junior executives and top-level managers. This experience was acquired while working for several prestigious multinational firms including an award-winning executive search company, a Fortune Global 500 investment bank, and a business development service provider.

As a recruiter with experience working in both in-house and agency environments across Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, I have been involved in the final interview rounds. During this time, I observed the interaction between candidates and hiring managers from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. This first-hand experience has provided me with valuable insights into effective job search strategies – what might work and what might not – in order to secure a job offer!

I have conducted over 500 face-to-face job interviews and over 1,200 phone interviews. Additionally, I have screened over 15,000 resumes and used LinkedIn’s search engine to identify top talent for the organizations and clients I have worked with.

It is quite disheartening to witness highly skilled and accomplished individuals struggle to effectively present themselves, ultimately losing the opportunity to secure the job of their dreams.

Now, I am delighted to offer my support in helping you secure a position that is best suited to your unique abilities and strengths, allowing you to fully realize your potential and ultimately, thrive.

🔹Following job interview preparation sessions with me, a significant proportion (40%) of my clients successfully secure their desired job after only the 1st or 2nd interview

🔹I’ve helped professionals in securing jobs across a diverse range of international locations, including Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Malaysia, and Singapore

🔹Upon optimizing their LinkedIn profiles with my guidance, a significant majority (80%) of my clients receive a greater number of invitations to job interviews

🔹If you are seeking guidance on job searching, I am available to assist with a variety of topics, including:

  • Optimizing your LinkedIn profile and resume
  • Presenting yourself effectively to Hiring Managers
  • Answering common job interview questions
  • Leveraging networking to secure employment
  • Finding job opportunities that align with your strengths

Together, we can brainstorm and develop effective strategies to help you achieve your career goals.

Is Career Coaching for You?

Career Coaching is for you if…

  • You feel stressed and anxious most of the time because of not being able to land your dream job.
  • You want to develop a deeper sense of satisfaction with regards to your career. 
  • You have neglected your own self-care, and have been devoting all your time to look for the “right” job.
  • You have persistent feelings of helplessness or that you can’t change the situation you’re in.
  • You question why you even continue doing the job you do. 
  • You aren’t sure how to make your resume substantive — and also simple.
  • You don’t know what you want to do next.
