When Gia moved from Romania to the Netherlands because of her husband’s job, she felt a mix of excitement and worry. She wondered, “Will my education and work experience from back home matter here?” Gia wasn’t sure how to fit her skills into the job market in the Netherlands. The titles of jobs and the structure of companies were different, and it made her feel unsure about where she belonged.
The Turning Point: A Helpful Conversation
Then, Gia and I had a conversation that changed everything. We talked about her background, what she’s good at, and what she enjoys doing. I helped her see how her experience was actually very valuable, even in the Netherlands. We worked together to translate her education and job experience into terms that fit the local market. This meant adjusting her resume and preparing her for interviews in a way that showcased her strengths in the best light.
Gia’s Success: A Fast Turnaround
The results were amazing. Just an hour after we refined her approach, Gia got a call from a company that was interested in her. A few days later, they offered her the job. It was a moment of joy and relief for Gia. She had proven to herself that her skills were not only relevant but in demand. This experience boosted her confidence and made her feel at home in her new country.
