Challenges
INTRO ---------------------
I hadn’t graduated with my Master’s degree yet and was still on a student visa. It means I didn’t have a full work right visa and couldn’t work full-time yet.
As a student, I didn’t have any local experience as well as any interview experience yet.
I also didn’t have enough time to prepare for the interview. I was helping my professor to do an exhibition and had to work full-time for that. So I could only use the little time left to prepare for the interview. I really wanted to have more time to prepare for the interview but I couldn’t say no to my professor or delay the interview so I had to do both at the same time.
Strategies
LEARNING ---------------
With not much time to prepare, I could still manage to get strategic answers for all the commonly asked questions thanks to very straightforward guided answers from Thea. I also followed Thea's unique strategy to propose a creative solution for the company. Believe me, you won’t find this kind of strategy anywhere else if not working with Thea. Thea has been through this so her strategies are specially designed for people from overseas to get a job.
Results
SUCCESS -----------------
In the interview, I was a bit nervous at first as I hadn’t got interview experience before. But the questions I received literally followed one by one the questions I prepared using Thea's strategy. I was so happily surprised by that and it helped me nail the answers and got more confident.
The result came to me in a very unique way. When I was still on the hot seat in the interview, 3 interviewers (very senior people – a General Manager, a Head of Design, and a Vice President from New York) were truly impressed by my answers and offered me the job offer on the spot, right there in the interview.
As I didn’t have a full work right visa, they even proposed a solution to me by working with me as a contractor first to wait for my work visa and also proposed to sponsor a permanent visa for me after that.
Covid happened shortly afterward. Some of my local colleagues got fired but fortunately, I didn’t. I could not only keep my job but also got some recognition ever since.
I’m so grateful for Thea's coaching program as it allowed me to work in the expertise I’m so passionate about. I got not only a job but also a PR sponsorship and a good life for myself and my family. Thanks to my PR sponsorship, my wife can also leverage it to get a full-time job. We’re exploring new places every weekend now and I couldn’t ask for more!
