Success Stories from Fellow Expats.
What changed after working together, in their own words.
“Changing careers or looking for work can be extremely overwhelming, and I didn’t know how or where to start. Roberta’s expertise gave me a broader outlook, while her empathy made it easy to connect and work with her.
Through her powerful questions, I uncovered hidden strengths and began shaping my story with confidence. We are still working together, and I now find the job search and career switch process far clearer, more structured, and much more manageable. She has been incredibly helpful, and I strongly recommend her to anyone going through a similar journey”.

“Roberta was just the right mentor that I needed to help me refresh my own understanding of my strengths and skill set. She listened attentively, provided feedback in a warm and encouraging manner. She helped me see my value and my strengths in a new way. If you want thoughtful, professional, experienced and encouraging coach then Roberta is the coach for you.”.
— Joyce S.
“Before I hired Roberta as my mentor, my job search felt like a relentless uphill battle. I truly believed I had done everything there was to be done, revamping my portfolio (I’m a UX designer, by the way), hiring a UX design mentor, getting referrals, implementing advise from experts, watching countless videos, you name it.
But with Roberta, I finally got to see my job search from the other side. Since she’s been on the hiring end, I started to understand how hiring managers actually think. And the things that make a real difference, that seem small, but are not. Take my resume, for example. I modified certain sections, and rewrote my summary from the ground up, and for the first time, I felt truly connected to it.
Ask yourself: how often do you have a resume or cover letter that isn’t just tailored to the job but actually feels like you, so much so that even if you get rejected, you know deep down that what you’ve put forward is an authentic, powerful reflection of your skills, personality, and what you can genuinely bring to the table? That kind of confidence, the real, imposter-syndrome-free kind, is something you can’t achieve alone. Roberta gets it because she’s been there.
She’s felt the frustration, the setbacks, the moments of doubt. And at the same time, she’s also been the person on the other end, reading resumes, assessing candidates, making those hiring decisions. That rare combination is what makes her mentorship so invaluable. Beyond all that, she’s just an incredible human being. She’s down to earth, welcoming, and truly sees you. She listens, empathizes, and understands your unique situation, without judgment, without generic advise.
She tailors everything to you, and that sets the tone for an experience that’s both transformative and personal. So if you’re hesitating? Don’t. If you’re struggling, if you’re feeling stuck, if you’re wondering what’s missing, she’s the one. You won’t regret it”.
— Charles J.
“I reached out to Roberta because I felt the need for a new approach in my job search. I was sending out countless applications with very poor results. With Roberta, I completely revamped my CV and LinkedIn, putting myself and my story at the center, and applied some new techniques.
The result of this new approach was two out of two interviews secured within just a few weeks at multinational companies. I received practical, straightforward advice I could apply immediately, along with empathy and availability that made the whole process much easier. I would truly recommend her to anyone”.
— Alessandro R.
“I was deeply dissatisfied with my situation and, whenever that frustration peaked, I would randomly send out job applications. I knew I wanted to move abroad in search of a different way of living and working. Having someone with a solid background in recruitment by my side, who truly understands what companies are looking for, greatly strengthened my performance in interviews.
Before working with Roberta, I couldn’t see the real value that a potential employer might recognize in my experience. Thanks to her, I learned how to highlight my story, both professional and personal, in a more strategic and effective way during interviews. This led to a significant improvement in my salary. Simply by following Roberta’s advice on how to acknowledge the recruiter’s role properly, I ended up earning about €15,000 more per year, without even having to ask for a raise compared to the initial offer.
As for LinkedIn, I noticed a clear improvement as well, with my profile views doubling. It was precisely my desire to react and change that led me to seek Roberta’s help, and doing so saved me an enormous amount of time compared to figuring all of this out on my own”.
— Petar D.
“Roberta helped me to identify my professional achievements, clarify my goals, and nail my job search strategy. She provided the structure and accountability that I needed to keep going during a chaotic time, until I landed a new job a few months later.
The benefits of our collaboration go beyond the initial goal of finding a job. I am now so much better equipped for the next time around – the networking, applications, interviews, and offer negotiations. Thanks to Roberta’s coaching and advice, I now have a stellar CV that gets me interviews – with a conversion rate of up 40%–50% for positions that I was serious about, found genuinely interesting, and put some effort into applying for. I can warmly recommend Roberta to international professionals in technology who are looking for their next professional chapter”.
— Hanna S.
“Until a few months ago, my job search was very hard. I didn't know which of my skills to highlight, especially because my work history was diverse. I had even started a couple of interviews, but the offers felt far from my expectations.
Thanks to Roby, I created a clear CV for myself and for recruiters. She also helped me develop a portfolio to showcase my experience across different sectors. My tendency to change industries turned out to be an advantage rather than the problem it seemed in the past.
I'm now very determined and clear about the goals I want to reach. Roby guided me with questions (and a few laughs!) to a level of self-awareness that lets me approach interviews and challenges calmly. I recommend that anyone looking for a job start a journey with Roberta. With her, you'll develop self-awareness, clarity, and determination that will help you face your next challenge with the right mindset”.
— Alessandra S.
“When I started working with Roberta, my plans for the future and my career were very unclear, weighed down by a mix of personal dissatisfaction and constant comparison with others. I felt lost. Through the support of coaching, I was able to clearly define both my personal and professional identity in a holistic and structured way, but most importantly, to understand which future path could best highlight my skills. I managed to regain my motivation, and now I’m able to see the direction I want for my future”.
— Federico S.
“When I had my first session with Roberta, I was going through a challenging time. My confidence was shaken by months of job application rejections with almost no feedback. Apart from that, I was in the middle of a career transition, unsure what direction to follow.
The sessions with Roberta were very helpful. She held space graciously during the messy process which is to figure out exactly what career path you should take. She guided me into discovering what truly resonates with me, what motivates me, and what fits with my skills and strong points. She offered expert advice, from a recruiter point of view, on how to polish my CV, LinkedIn profile, and many insider tips for the job hunt. Above all, throughout this process she was able to see in me what I was not seeing yet.
And I think this was the secret ingredient that made everything else possible: I now feel very confident in the career path I’m pursuing and the value I will bring to any company I work with in the future. I’m happy with how I am presenting myself as a professional. I don’t dread networking anymore - In fact, I take pleasure in getting to know peers and like-minded people. Thank you Roberta for your support, insights, knowledge sharing, and kindness! I hope you can help many others the way you helped me”.
— Tatiana G.
“I had an amazing resume review session with Roberta. She shared with me some invaluable insights regarding the hiring process and how to get my foot in the door, she also had made very important comments on my resume that really helped. It has been a real joy talking with Roberta, very encouraging and kind”.
— Ahmed A.
“Speaking with Roberta was definitely a moment of great personal reflection, as well as professional. My conversation with Roberta and the action plan she prepared for me were the elements that triggered a small revamp of my LinkedIn page and my CV. Now I will start searching with a more focused approach on the role and companies that interest me, hoping to break through the remote application barrier and get to the interview stage. I truly appreciated the work we accomplished in just a one hour session!”.
— Eduardo P.
“I worked with Roberta for just over a month on career development, and the impact has been transformative. I came to her needing to realign my experience with my career path and overhaul my CV and LinkedIn profile, but what I got was so much more valuable.
Roberta's background as a recruiter in tech was invaluable - she cut through all the confusing career advice floating around social media and gave me insights into what recruiters actually look for. But beyond the technical expertise, she helped me reflect deeply on what I truly value in my career, including the cultural aspects and work environments where I thrive. What sets Roberta apart is her ability to listen beyond your words and translate your thoughts into "recruiter language" for your CV while helping you validate your career expectations with real-world examples.
She's not afraid to ask probing questions that dig deeper, but she lets you drive the conversation while offering guidance exactly when you need it - never overwhelming or overstepping. Her encouraging and analytical approach, combined with her talent for using metaphors to make complex concepts accessible, meant I left every session with a smile and genuine motivation for the next steps. She provided collaborative frameworks and resources, but only when they felt truly helpful for our specific goals. If you're looking to recenter your career path or navigate a career pivot - especially as an expat or woman in tech - Roberta is the mentor you need. She doesn't just help you fix your resume; she helps you rediscover your professional identity with confidence”.
— Ianna P.
“Roberta is an exceptional coach with deep expertise in recruitment and interviews. She helped me frame my strengths in ways that resonate with hiring teams. In our sessions, we did a mock interview where she provided really actionable feedback on structuring answers and highlighting outcomes. She also helped me navigate a tricky real-life question from a recruiter, showing me how to respond to increase my chances of passing to the next stage. I’d highly recommend working with Roberta”.
— Piotr C.
“In the 2 weeks since our session, I have been working on improving my CV and my LinkedIn profile following Roberta's advice, focusing primarily on emphasizing the results I have achieved (instead of simply listing my duties), and I am quite satisfied on that front. I am following the action plan Roberta made for me, step-by-step, and I must say that I find all parts of it very useful.
The application I submitted today for one of my favorite companies is the first one I've made since our coaching session, and by putting the advice I was given into practice and adapting the CV, I feel confident that I've done everything possible, regardless of the outcome!
I have also made progress regarding networking without feeling the panic I felt before. Now I don’t feel lost anymore, on the contrary, I feel I have the necessary tools to approach the job search without putting excessive pressure on myself”.
— Stella B.
“Roberta gave clear, practical advice tailored to my specific goals, around navigating the current job market in the EU. She quickly understood my background and challenges as an international candidate, and offered actionable steps to improve my positioning. Her insights into hiring trends, how recruiters think, and how to stand out in global talent acquisition were really helpful”.
— Isabela D.
“Roberta is a wonderful coach who has the ability to ease the stress and anxiety that comes with the job search process. She is caring, professional, and truly dedicated to helping others. I highly recommend her to anyone .”.
— Fahimeh M.
“Working with Roberta has been a remarkable experience. When I started coaching sessions with her, I felt insecure about my skills and was very afraid of job interviews. Roberta created a safe environment that allowed me to open up from the very first meeting.
With her support and valuable advice, we transformed my CV and LinkedIn profile, and this made a huge difference: I was directly contacted by recruiters for three job opportunities, without actively applying, and received two offers.
It was a real relief and a huge boost to my self-esteem. I am currently very satisfied with my new job, but I continue to receive profile views and messages from recruiters, which shows that the work done on my profile has been truly effective. Roberta was always available and ready to provide constructive feedback, making me feel capable and confident. I highly recommend Roberta to anyone looking to improve their career and grow personally and professionally. Thanks to her, I rediscovered my worth and regained confidence in myself”.
— Federico F.
“I deeply enjoyed my coaching sessions with Roberta. I could realise since the very beginning that she does her job with great passion and is always able to bring positive vibes to any topics discussed. I was very relaxed and I could feel that I could express my thought, concerns and opinions freely and openly without ever being judged. One thing that made a big difference is that she remembered all the details and she was listening to me all the times. She would let me speak, she was listening, and at the right time, she was reminding me those small details to make me think of what I needed to do. Sometimes we already know what we want but we are not able to organise ourselves, our thoughts. With her, everything was clearer. I would highly recommend Roberta as your new coach. She really cares!”.
— Alessandro S.
“I was left without a job as well as a prospect of a job exactly in my profession due to massive changes in society.
I had a sense of overwhelm and an inability to navigate the environment, to take control of my own future, and I was hopeless and lacking motivation.
I returned to my own mission and the main sources of energy thanks to work with Roberta, it only took three sessions with her direct yet soft style to help me navigate back to the areas of my strengths, to pinpoint the main blocks on the way forward, and to distinguish between areas of work where I could affect control and those areas that were beyond my control”.
— Jane A.
“I had a really insightful session with Roberta that gave me valuable clarity and direction. She brought a positive attitude and a tactful approach, offering practical tools and insights. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a fresh perspective and practical guidance in their professional journey”.
— Derya D.
“Roberta not only gave so much actionable feedback on my LinkedIn profile, how to transition from one tech field to another, and networking strategy that really works, but she also really validated the emotions and journey I am going through. She picks up my questions and concerns fast and her approach and perspective is very refreshing to me. I feel so encouraged after talking with her”.
— Pei F.
“Roberta was incredibly helpful during our session. She gave clear, honest feedback on my CV and shared practical tips that I can apply right away. Her insights were especially valuable, simple, yet powerful advice that made me feel more confident. I truly appreciate her supportive and professional approach”.
