Welcome to Great First Impression! I am an esteemed Career Consultant dedicated to making a positive impact on the global employment landscape, in alignment with SDG Goal 8. SDG Goal 8 focuses on promoting sustainable economic growth, inclusive employment, and decent work opportunities for all individuals.
Having played the roles of both a recruiter and a job seeker, an interviewer and an interviewee, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and requirements from both sides of the employment equation.
Passionate about career consulting, I had been providing guidance and support to family and friends on a voluntary basis for a considerable period before establishing this company. As an official career coach and consultant, I have had the privilege of assisting hundreds of professionals from diverse backgrounds to achieve their career goals and fulfill their dreams.
Here are a few success stories to demonstrate the tangible impact I have made:
International Job Achievement
One of my clients approached me with an urgent deadline for an international position with an intergovernmental organization. We collaborated on refining his CV, and the following week, he sought my assistance with interview preparation. Thanks to our work together, he not only made the shortlist but also secured the position.
Breaking into International Consulting
Another client aspired to break free from the confines of the local job market and venture into international consulting. After a CV revamp, he experienced a significant breakthrough. In his own words, he has been shortlisted for every job he has applied for and now enjoys lucrative consultancy opportunities that pay up to $800 a day.
Overcoming Age Discrimination Concerns
I had the privilege of working with a highly experienced and qualified senior client based in the US who was worried about potential age discrimination. With nearly three decades of experience under her belt, we revamped her CV and crafted a compelling cover letter. Within a week, she secured three interviews out of the eight positions she had applied for.
Reaching CEO-Level Positions
One client, possessing extensive international experience spanning over two decades, had hit a career plateau and remained out of formal employment for a few years. However, after revamping his CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile, he began receiving interview requests, including opportunities for CEO-level positions, despite lacking prior CEO-level experience.
At our GFI, we understand that first impressions are paramount in the professional world. That's why we invite you to partner with us to create a credible, respectable, and lasting first impression. Together, we will ensure you stand out from the crowd and propel your career to new heights.
