"Alex became my mentor as I was seeking guidance for a major career shift that involved changing industries, switching from public to private sector and relocating to another country. I had just started a demanding and competitive application process, full of interviews, case studies, and negotiations with C-level executives. I felt uncertain about the process and how to best prepare. Over several weeks, Alex coached me through each step, sharing her extensive knowledge and valuable insights. Her expertise was truly impressive, and she ensured I was fully prepared to tackle each stage. What truly distinguished Alex was her rare ability to combine excellent professionalism with genuine personal support. I immediately felt at ease with her, and our sessions were open and honest. She analyzed my responses and preparation materials with laser-like focus, yet her feedback was always encouraging and empowering, motivating me to improve and adopt new perspectives. Thanks to Alex's guidance, I received and accepted the job offer. I am beyond grateful for her support throughout the process. If you're considering a career change, I highly recommend Alex's mentorship; it was an invaluable experience."

"I am fully thankful to Alexandra for offering the proper help that I could not find anywhere. Nowadays finding a good and gifted HR professional seems like an impossible task but I was so wrong. Sometimes everything falls in their place by itself, and by chance I encountered a true professional and maybe the best consultancy sessions in my life. During those sessions I was astonished by the listening skills, real empathy, and genuine care and interest for my wellbeing and professional growth and success. Alongside professional and unbiased tips and strategies for being successful and nailing at every interview I encountered bits of wisdom and life-changing advice and lessons. In few words, my experience with Alexandra was the most awaited encounter that managed to overcome some personal barriers and let me able to see more clearly and...to be more courageous on job market and in life. I found the best counselor, best HR professional and wisest person that I could find. If you ever wonder what HR professional to contact, please do not hesitate to contact Alexandra, you will not regret that decision."

"In a few weeks, Alex helped me build a strong CV, upgrade my LinkedIn, and most importantly, give me the confidence to succeed. She prepared me for interviews, since I had absolutely no international work experience and had no idea what to expect and what to answer. A month and a half later, I received my first offer for a role in a huge international company. Looking back I understand how right it was to ask Alex for professional help and I no longer feel lost on the job market, not afraid to change my job and move forward. Thank you for everything, you are a wonderful person and a great professional!"

"I have finally found a true professional who is a wonderful listener and a great expert in so many areas. I left the meeting feeling much better about myself after a long time of being rejected and thinking I am not good enough. Turns out because I lacked confidence, I couldn't really show my true self in the interviews. This is exactly what Alex did in our session: helped me understand what I should change in my speech while keeping in mind how valuable I am. Alex, thanks so much for your empathy and patience, I appreciate your time and help so much!"

"I didn't know how important it is to have a clean and clear CV and how to present myself at interviews. Alex's insights about the market and how to prepare beforehand have been extremely valuable. Thanks Alex for all your openess and empathy during our sessions!"

"When I first met Alexandra I was beyond confused regarding my carreer, and had no the confidence in my skills. She did a lot of consulting with me because she believed in my potential before I could ever believe I possesed such skills. She provided me with information from the market, she studied my personality in order to find a suitable profession that could fit my needs for a dynamic activity, yet combined with a break – doing some administrative tasks – in order to keep me going. Alex encouraged me during my path and prepared me academically for entering my new era: becoming a recruiter. She invested all her expertize and made me understand how to position myself in an interview, how to build the right CV, how to provide info on my achievements, how to talk about the elements I need to improve, what to look for in an organization, how to analyze an offer and to think about long term goals while achieving the short term ones. Basically everything someone in this position would need to know and beyond. Overall she was sent from Heaven, she is still my number 1 advisor and I will always trust her knowledge, passion and pure dedication for building other’s careers. Today I can tell you that I walk with full confidence and with all the elements learned from Alex I can intuitively choose what could fit me best (however I would still consult with her). Thank you Alex!"

"As your friend and ex colleague I am thankful for meeting you and for all the ways that you have touched my life! I am glad that you chose this new domain where you can work your magic and help others find themselves and achive their dreams because you have this wonderful gift and it would have been such a shame to keep it hidden! You have helped me in switching carreers and gave me strength and confidence that I can do it, so without a doubt I am confident you can shine the same light on anybody else who needs it!"

"Alex helped me understand what I really expected from the next steps in my career. She showed me how valuable my skills are simply by going through my experience and preparing me for interviewing with major companies.

"I met with Alexandra in two separate meetings, 2 years between them. First time she helped me advance in my career in terms of a new role and salary because she brought clarity on the market range and also what roles would be suitable for me to grow into. The second time was because I decided to move to Spain and needed guidance about the market and the overall life there. Thank you so much for all the insights, it's been a great help each time we met! We will definitely keep in touch for my next steps."

"I am a software engineer with experience and really wanted to land a job at Google or Microsoft. I contacted Alex and she prepared me starting with my CV (I had no idea that I could make it bright more and stand out) because I would always get rejection emails, to preparing me for interviews. I am happy to say that both Google and Microsoft contacted me and ended up at the end of the recruitment process with an offer from Microsoft. With Alex's help I better understood what companies look at, how to express myself in interviews and stand out. Thanks Alex!"
