What I can Help With
Career goals and challenges vary — from entering a new market to changing your professional direction. I help you see the options and build a strategy around your situation.
If you’re planning to look for work or grow your career in a new country, it’s important to understand not only what opportunities are available, but how the local market will interpret your experience.
- identify which roles and seniority levels are realistic for your background;
- adapt your résumé / CV and LinkedIn profile for the target market;
- determine what to emphasize in your experience — and what may need to be framed differently;
- identify the most effective job search and networking channels;
- build a practical strategy for entering the market.
When you want to move in a different direction, the key question is how to carry your existing experience into a new role or field without starting over.
- identify the most realistic transition options;
- clarify your transferable skills and strongest assets;
- identify gaps that could make the transition harder;
- define your new positioning;
- build a step-by-step transition plan.
If your experience is strong but your résumé, LinkedIn profile, or response from the market doesn’t reflect it, we’ll look at your profile through the eyes of the person making the hiring decision.
- review your résumé / CV and LinkedIn profile;
- assess whether your positioning is clear;
- strengthen how you communicate your achievements, scope, and level of responsibility;
- assess how well your profile aligns with your target roles and markets;
- identify what may be limiting the quantity and quality of responses you receive.
The next step doesn’t always have to be another full-time role. We can compare different ways of working and determine which one best fits your experience, goals, and market.
- compare employment, independent consulting, and building your own business;
- identify which parts of your expertise can become a service or offer;
- define your positioning for clients or partners;
- adapt your LinkedIn, résumé / CV, or professional profile to the path you choose;
- build a plan to test the direction in practice before making a major transition.

Ways to Work With Me
From a focused profile review to ongoing one-on-one support — choose the option that fits your current career challenge.
Why Work With Me
I approach your career from the perspective of the people making hiring decisions.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in international HR and Talent Acquisition — from startups to global organizations. Over that time, I’ve reviewed tens of thousands of résumés, conducted thousands of interviews, and made hundreds of hiring decisions across all levels of organizations.
My perspective goes beyond recruiting. In senior HR roles, I worked directly with business leaders and saw the business priorities and risks behind every hiring decision.
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all templates or promise a “dream job in two weeks.” We look at your real situation, target market, and constraints, then build a strategy you can execute step by step.

FAQ
If you already know what roles you’re targeting but aren’t getting the response you expect, start with a Profile Review. If you need to clarify your direction, target market, or overall job search strategy, Career Strategy is a better fit. If you want support not only in defining the strategy but also in putting it into action — job search, networking, interviews, and evaluating offers — consider Individual Career Program.

Yes. In that case, Career Strategy is usually the best place to start. We can compare realistic options, assess different markets and directions, and define where it makes the most sense to focus your efforts.
No. I also work with professionals considering independent consulting, building their own business, or combining different ways of working. We can assess which model best fits your experience, goals, and market.
If you’re still deciding between these options, Career Strategy can help you compare them and determine which one best fits your experience, goals, and current market conditions.

Yes. I work with both: experienced professionals already building their careers internationally and those preparing to enter a new country or market. The strategy will depend on your starting point, target market, and goals.
It’s a 20-minute conversation where we briefly discuss your situation and what you’re trying to achieve. I’ll tell you whether and how I can help, and which format would make the most sense for your needs. The goal is to see whether working together is a good fit before you book a paid session.
