Let's speak the truth... 

Being an expat looking for a job is the hardest thing you would do to live a better lifestyle.

I mean, isn't this the reason you moved out of your mother country? Build a better future?

Yet the job market doesn't work the way we want. Even if we spent hundreds of hours applying online.

You worked year after year building your career and till this moment you are unable to land your dream offer, or even sit down with a decision-maker just to explain that you are the one they need.

Recruiters might give you a moment of hope when they reach out to you, to realize they were merely ghosting you.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Where to start from? What makes others get referred to great offers while I am doing the same thing 100k other job applicants are doing?

𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩.

I'd love to ask you questions about what would be most helpful to you to aid your hustle. Nothing to sell, just want to have a conversation.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 

1. Design a custom strategy to hack your job market
2. Make yourself wanted, let them come to you!
3. Discover where exclusive jobs are posted but hidden from public
4. Connect with recruiters easily without feeling needy
5. Make Hiring Managers excited to connect and speak to you
6. They need you. Take control of the interview and pass it
7. Negotiate the best package that you deserve
