What story you want to tell your future self....

Srujan Kumar

Project Manager

“I was struggling as an international student to land a job in the UK, sending out endless CV with no responses. Even when I did get interviews, they’d say, ‘We can’t sponsor you,’ and I felt stuck. But once I started working with Gaurav who’d been an international student himself everything changed. He showed me exactly how to position myself as a top candidate, identify the right companies willing to sponsor, and highlight the value I bring in my CV and interviews. Within just six weeks, I secured a sponsored role that completely transformed my career prospects.

Aditya Gavali

Senior Data Specialist

“I was stuck in a credit analyst role, and it felt like my broader skill set was going unused. I tried internal applications, but no one seemed to see how I could pivot to a more data-focused job. Then Gaurav helped me articulate my value in a way that directly addressed what my company needed—he even worked with me on a concise pitch showing how I’d succeed as a Senior Data Specialist. Within weeks, I secured an internal move to a more senior role in a different department, giving me the fresh challenge I’d been craving. Now I’m happier, more engaged, and excited to push my limits further.”

Camilia Gurriaran

Legal and Policy Officer

“I was applying for legal roles in an incredibly competitive environment and struggling to prove I could handle complex projects—especially since I was early in my career. Gaurav helped me build my confidence and articulate my expertise in a way that genuinely showcased my potential. After making those changes to my CV, LinkedIn, and interview approach, I landed a job at a top European firm in just six weeks. I’m already on track for rapid progress, and I couldn’t be happier!”

Chamir Gimenez

Health Center Manager

“I was working long hours and doing everything I could, yet I wasn’t getting the promotion or salary I felt I deserved. I didn’t realize that positioning myself correctly was the missing piece. With Gaurav’s help, we showcased the real business value I was bringing and drafted a 30-60-90 day plan for a more senior role. That plan showed exactly how I’d excel and why I was worth a 40% pay raise. It was truly life-changing, and I’ve never felt more motivated about my career.”

Kim Schmidt

Head of E-commerce

“I had plenty of amazing e-commerce experience, but I kept missing out on opportunities because I couldn’t articulatemy value in interviews. Gaurav helped me translate my background into tangible results businesses understand. Soon after, I landed a Senior Head of E-Commerce role with a multi-six-figure package!”

Raghav Dawar

Global Enterprise Account

“I was moving from abroad to London and had tons of experience, but I couldn’t get recruiters to pay attention. Gaurav’s strategy helped me rebrand myself as a global talent who could bring in international business. He also guided me to target companies that needed someone with a global sales perspective, rather than just a regional focus. Soon, I had multiple offers in London and ended up in a Global Enterprise Account role with uncapped commission—an amazing turnaround from where I started!”

Sandipan Basu

Regional Category Manager

“I was doing well enough, but I felt like I’d hit a plateau and didn’t have the energy or excitement to keep going. Rather than jump ship, Gaurav guided me in re-examining my priorities and deciding whether a senior role within my current company might be the answer. We overhauled my professional branding and focused on how to advocate for my own advancement. I landed a leadership position in the same organization, complete with better pay and more autonomy. It’s renewed my passion and reminded me why I loved this field in the first place.”

Manthan Shan

Cyber Security Analyst

“I was doing all right in my current job, but I wanted something with real six-figure potential—something that would keep me ahead in a fast-evolving industry. Gaurav and I honed in on cybersecurity, reorienting my CV and LinkedIn to showcase the precise mix of technical and soft skills employers look for. We also developed networking and outreach tactics that got me in front of the right people. I soon secured a role at a globally recognized firm and started advancing internally soon after, all while enjoying a significant salary boost. It’s amazing how targeted positioning can change everything.”

Uliana Smirnova

Senior Brand Manager

“I reached a point where my career just didn’t feel fulfilling anymore, and I had no clue what my next move should be. Gaurav helped me clarify my core strengths, align them with my personal values, and aim for an environment that would let me thrive both professionally and personally. I soon accepted a role as a Senior Brand Manager in a company whose culture and mission I genuinely resonate with, and I’m already flourishing. It’s incredible how much of a difference it makes to find a role that truly matches who you are.”

Natalia

Business Development

“I was determined to refine my sales skills and really highlight the success I’d had in past roles, but I struggled to show employers how my experience translated to a new business development position. Working with Gaurav taught me how to present myself as a proactive problem solver instead of just another candidate. I revamped my CV and interview strategy to emphasize my strengths, and I soon landed a sales role with uncapped commission—exactly what I’d been aiming for. Now, I’m growing my skill set every day and feeling more confident than ever.”

Joyle B.

Operations Leader

“I was sending out tons of applications, only to face rejection after rejection. Gaurav’s outreach strategy finally helped me show hiring managers the tangible results I could deliver, backed up by a stronger CV and LinkedIn presence. That led me to an ideal operations role, and I was promoted after just one year because of the impact I made. Finding the right environment has completely changed how I feel about my career.”

Iris Otano

Director Technical Program Manager

“I’ve always had a strong background, but somehow my salary never quite matched the value I brought to the table. Working with Gaurav changed that. He guided me through a negotiation strategy that highlighted my ability to manage complex technical projects and solve high-level problems. As a result, I increased my total compensation by six figures—and for the first time, I feel like I’m being paid what I’m worth. Having that confidence has transformed how I approach my role, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

Rawad Salameh

Sustainability Consultant

“I sent out applications to hundreds of companies with no responses, and time was running out because I’d just finished my studies. Being early in my career (only two years in), I didn’t know how to position myself as a top candidate—particularly for Big Four consulting firms. Gaurav helped me fine-tune my CV, LinkedIn, and my outreach strategy, which led to multiple referrals and interviews. Eventually, I secured a role at one of the world’s leading consulting firms, and it’s been life-changing—I even relocated to a new country for this opportunity!”

Xiole Chen

Solution Consultant

“I was at a company where my career growth felt completely stalled, and I was worried about how to future-proof my skill set. That’s when I reached out to Gaurav. He helped me analyze which high-growth industries matched my experience, then we reworked my CV and LinkedIn to spotlight my problem-solving abilities in a sales consulting context. Within three weeks, I landed a role at a top-100 company in my chosen space—and I’ve already been promoted twice in two years. Now I’m thriving as a Solutions Consultant with uncapped commission, and I finally feel secure in both my earning potential and career trajectory.”

Christopher Arida

Consulting Professional

“After running my own business for years, I decided to return to the corporate world—but I wasn’t sure how to position my entrepreneurial track record. Gaurav helped me translate everything I’d learned as a founder—strategy, operations, leadership—into a powerful CV and LinkedIn profile. Shortly after, I joined a consulting firm, where the team recognized my unique skill set almost immediately, and I advanced quickly in just a year. It’s amazing to see how the right positioning can open doors.”
