Challenges

INTRO.............................................

Breaking into the job market as a recent electrical graduate was no easy task. With just six months of local experience, I felt like I was constantly falling short of the 1-2 years of experience that most companies required. Each job description seemed like a reminder of what I lacked, and I began doubting whether my limited experience would ever be enough to land a full-time position.

Adding to my worries, I’m from a non-English speaking country. While I considered my English to be average, I feared that it might be a barrier in interviews, further limiting my chances of standing out to hiring managers.

Strategies

LEARNING............................

I knew I needed help to overcome these hurdles, so I turned to Thea Ho for guidance. Her coaching program became my blueprint for success, helping me transform my application and boost my confidence.

With Thea’s expert coaching, I worked on crafting a compelling resume and cover letter that highlighted my skills and potential rather than dwelling on my lack of extensive experience. Thea showed me how to strategically present my six months of local experience in a way that demonstrated my ability to excel in the role. She also taught me to inject key industry-specific skills into my application, aligning my profile with what hiring managers were looking for.

Interestingly, building my resume also helped me prepare for interviews. As I delved into my background to articulate my skills and achievements on paper, I gained a clearer understanding of what I could bring to the table. By the time I walked into the interview room, I felt confident in my ability to communicate my value to the company. Thea’s interview strategies further ensured I was ready to answer even the most challenging questions with clarity and conviction.

Results

SUCCESS.................

The results were nothing short of extraordinary. After applying for a job online, I received a call for an interview the very next day. The interview went smoothly, and to my amazement, I was offered the position on the spot.

The best part? I started working the very next day. From submitting my application to beginning my new job, the entire process took less than 48 hours. It was an incredible feeling to see my hard work and Thea’s strategies pay off so quickly.

Joining the company during Covid-19, a time when many local job seekers were struggling to find opportunities, made this achievement even more meaningful. Shortly after I started, my boss praised my impressive application, validating the effort and dedication I had poured into crafting it.

Now, I feel incredibly grateful to be part of a company that not only values my contributions but also invests in my growth. My boss has been training me daily, equipping me with new knowledge and skills that will benefit me throughout my career. I’m excited about the future, knowing that I’m building a long-term career in a field I’m passionate about.

Looking back, I can see how much I’ve grown—not just professionally but also in terms of my confidence. Thea’s coaching didn’t just help me land a job; it gave me the tools and mindset to succeed in a competitive industry.

If you’re doubting your chances due to limited experience or feeling unsure about how to navigate the job market, I highly recommend Thea’s program. It’s more than just guidance—it’s a lifeline for success.

Thank you, Thea, for helping me turn my challenges into a stepping stone to a brighter future. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey!
