"I arrived in Australia during lockdown and had completely lost confidence in my ability to find a job. Roya completely repositioned my CV for the Australian market — from our first session to securing an offer took only three to four weeks, at the height of COVID."
"Roya strongly encouraged me to return to the technology industry after my career break, then helped me redirect my career towards Data and AI. Today I'm working as an AI Analyst at one of Australia's largest banks, in a field I genuinely enjoy."
"As an international student, Roya referred me to an opportunity to start part-time while studying and build my experience in senior program management. Her guidance helped me build a strong case with my employer, ultimately leading to their support for my transition from a student visa to permanent residency."
"Roya helped me improve how I presented my experience when I was looking for my next career move. She reviewed my CV and gave me useful feedback on how to better highlight my experience and achievements. She also gave me some practical advice on interviews, including how to talk about my experience with more confidence and approach conversations around role and salary. Her feedback was helpful and gave me a better perspective on how to present myself professionally."
"Roya always encouraged me to consider a career in banking, reminding me that my finance background was something I shouldn't overlook. That decision became the starting point for my transition into banking and ultimately led me towards a Lending Manager role."
"Roya completely rebuilt my CV and LinkedIn to position my 22 years of Process Engineering experience for the Australian Oil & Gas market. Through her referrals, I was introduced to two job opportunities, and our career coaching journey continues today."
"Roya taught me to be more confident and to put myself out there. She rebuilt my CV and LinkedIn and referred me to several people, helping me expand my professional network. That experience helped me rebuild my confidence and eventually return to my professional field."
"I started working with Roya while I was still in Iran, preparing to move to Australia. She helped me rebuild my CV and prepare for the Australian job market. When I arrived, I was able to secure a role in an English-speaking bakery — something I had always dreamed of."
"Getting sponsored from overseas is incredibly difficult. Roya encouraged me to trust the process and work with her on positioning myself for the Australian market, then connected me with a sponsorship opportunity that ultimately brought me to Australia."
