When Anya* came to work with me, she had given multiple interviews but was unable to convert even one into an offer.
“You don’t have a CPA…”
“You haven’t worked with SAP before…”
“You are missing big company experience…”
From past bosses to multiple hiring managers, she was constantly told that something was lacking in her skillset and experience…
And the hard reality is, having been rejected so many times over, she had started believing that something was indeed lacking in her…
Despite having an MBA from one of the top schools in the US and 10+ years of executive experience to boast, she was slipping into deep imposter syndrome…
Losing her self-confidence, ONE DAY AT A TIME.
She knew something needed to change.. FAST.
So when we spoke the first time, she had made up her mind.
It was time to stop the pity party and get what she deserved.
So we got to work!
Here are the exact steps she followed to level up her confidence and her interviewing game to land her dream offer within 30 days of working together.

She attended weekly mock interviews to learn how to answer questions around missed goals, failures, and weaknesses with a growth mindset. This prevented her energy from dipping during the interview process, while enabling her to show her leadership maturity in being able to handle tough workplace situations.
