SITUATION
After a successful career as a lecturer at a UK university, a lecturer from a leading university in London found herself increasingly unmotivated and drained, especially following the pandemic. She struggled with job applications, receiving little to no response, and felt lost in the job market. Doubting her skills and understanding of industry job postings, she grew discouraged and feared she was too old to transition, leaving her stuck in academia.
STRATEGY + RESULTS
We began by identifying her energizing skills (natural talents), strengths, and motivations, helping her see where she could thrive beyond the academic context. Using ChatGPT, we explored job fields, decoded industry terminology, and refined her resume to align with company expectations and applicant tracking systems (ATS).
A key focus was building her emotional resilience and confidence, as these are crucial for job search success. We worked on shifting her mindset from disbelief to trust in the process, reinforcing her ability to learn, adapt, and position herself effectively. Through tailored communication strategies and structured networking, she gained the confidence to engage with professionals and uncover hidden opportunities.
By optimizing her Resume, maintaining momentum and strengthening her self-belief, she secured a consultancy role in a mid-position. Since then, she has landed another consultancy position in London, where she now feels truly aligned with her skills, interests, and career aspirations.
