What I help with
Every stage of your career journey.
One person who knows hiring inside out.
Whether you're looking for your first job, changing careers at 40, arriving in Australia as a migrant, or preparing for a senior interview — there's a service here for exactly where you are right now.
Who this is for
If you're trying to get the next job,
this is for you.
Not a textbook coach.
A recruiter who's seen it all.
I didn't plan to get into recruitment. Like most things in life, it happened by chance — and 15 years later, here I am.
I am not an expert. I don't have a magic formula that will guarantee you an interview or tell you exactly what to say to land your first job. And honestly, if anyone claims they do — please let me know, because I'd genuinely like to talk to them. Maybe I'm missing something after 15 years in this industry.
What I actually am is someone who struggled to find his own first job. I didn't get into recruitment by choice — I got into it out of necessity. But I made it my career, learned it the hard way, and over 15 years built up enough real experience to know what the definite don'ts are and what the definite do's are.
Like many, I don't have a niche. For most of my career I worked across industries as a generalist — speaking to thousands of candidates from different backgrounds and walks of life. That breadth of experience is what I carry with me today.
I've seen hundreds of people — professionals, graduates, migrants, career changers — go through the job search process. I know what the ones who succeeded did differently. Not from a textbook. From watching it happen, being part of it, and sometimes being the one who made the call.
I use words like "career coach" on this website because that's the only way Google will put me in front of you. But what I really offer is honest, experience-based guidance from someone who has been on both sides of the hiring table.
If you're looking for magic — I'm not your person. If you're looking for hard truth, constructive feedback, and someone brave enough to tell you what you actually need to hear — and if you're brave enough to act on it — then it's worth reaching out.
"I've spent 15 years interviewing candidates for other people's companies. Now I use everything I learned to give you the tools and strategies to make a quality approach — so you stand out, and get the job."
