Career consulting & mentoring

My name is Natalya. I am an architect and project manager from Russia. A year ago, I moved to Tel Aviv and am now in the process of adapting and shifting my career in a new country. After relocating, I faced a lot of self-doubt because most of the work here is conducted in Hebrew, and I felt that my management skills might not be relevant in this context.

I reached out to Anastasia, and in our session, we unpacked my fears. She helped me avoid downplaying my achievements and stepping back, and instead, she encouraged me to set my sights on my most ambitious goals and to explore possible paths to reach them.

I am still in the job search process, but my approach has changed significantly. I enrolled in a career centre, updated my CV and portfolio, and researched the job market and different career paths—not just architecture. Currently, I am exploring my options in real estate and architecture and even looking into managerial positions in high-tech.

I am confident that I will soon find my path, but this time not from a place of "I hope someone accepts me," but rather with the determination to choose the best opportunity, something that excites me and allows me to earn significantly more than before.

I am very grateful for Anastasia's help and professionalism. Outstanding knowledge of the topic, amazing patience to the customer, and the ability to hear and listen. High-level results are significant to her, so I got the perfect CV for the first time in my life.

I work in fashion world, and my numerous job applications to large corporations were met with no response, which was deeply frustrating and left me feeling perplexed about the reasons behind this. I was feeling down and frustrated, which is why I decided to reach out to Anastasia for a review of my current resume and portfolio and assistance in job searching.

Anastasia helped me identify my strengths and organise my professional profiles (CV, Portfolio website, LinkedIn) in such a way that I now receive feedback and responses.

Furthermore, Anastasia guided me through negotiations with my current employer. As a result, my contract was extended, I received a salary increase, and clear job responsibilities were defined.

Thanks to her sensitivity and professionalism, throughout these consultations, Anastasia, acting as a mentor, helped me clarify my values in the workplace, boosted my self-confidence, taught me how to present myself as a professional in a business environment, and how to effectively negotiate with my employer and clients about compensation.

I highly recommend Anastasia's services to professionals of all fields, not just architects. She is an empathic professional in her field, which makes her irreplaceable and necessary if you face any types of problems during your new career search or if you feel like you need "common sense from the outside".

When my friends find out that I have a coach, many of them ask if I am satisfied with our interaction.
I am satisfied because all the goals that Anastasia and I set at the very beginning of our cooperation were achieved on time and without panicking - I wanted to find a job in a new country quickly and in the best possible conditions for me.

However, the most important thing in our work was not obvious. Because I moved to a new country, started life in new conditions, and it turned out to be necessary for me to have a person on this difficult path who will go along this path with me and support me. In Anastasia, I found not only an adviser but also an attentive guide on the road to a new stage in my life. Now I am following this path further, and I am very grateful to this wonderful woman who shares this exciting journey with me.

I took lessons with Anastasia for about half a year. Before, I had a good level of English, but it wasn't enough for work. I have learnt many professional architectural terms and ways of working in international companies. The most valuable thing for me was our preparation for the job interview. Anastasia helped me to discover my strengths, formulate goals and think through the answers to difficult questions. It's not just English lessons. Anastasia also offers career coaching and comprehensive support.

I really liked that you gave extremely structured, detailed and clear comments with useful links. I felt your confident understanding of the recruitment process in foreign companies. Your vision of this subject is very comprehensive and profound.

I needed preparation for the interview, so I asked Anastasia for help. I enjoyed our consultations, although I'm not an architect. It taught me how to structure my experience and prepare a self-presentation. I got helpful tips and essential practice before the actual interview. Now I am confident and feel optimistic about upcoming meetings.
I can say if you need wise advice, regardless of your industry, use the services of "English for architects". It's worth it.
