From Blindsided to Career Bliss: Raj’s Career Comeback

Being made redundant came as a shock. One day Raj had a steady job — the next, he didn’t.

He’d spent 13 years building his career, developing deep expertise and delivering real results. So while the redundancy wasn’t personal, it still hit hard.

He was confident the right role would turn up quickly so at first he positive, even excited by the challenge. After all he had the skills, experience and excellent reputation to land a new role quickly.

But what happened next left him completely blindsided.

Raj threw himself into job hunting — applying for about 20 roles a week on SEEK and LinkedIn. But after three long months, he hadn’t landed a single interview.

He started doubting himself. The roles he applied for were similar to what he’d done before. Then he started applying for roles beneath his skill level, just hoping to get some traction. The silence was deafening.

Frustration turned into self-doubt. His confidence took a hit. So did his motivation and wellbeing. What should have been an exciting new chapter started to feel like a dead end.

That’s when Raj reached out. He didn’t know exactly what was wrong — but he knew something wasn’t working. His CV hadn’t been touched in over a decade, and job search had changed in ways he didn’t expect.

Together, we:

• Refocused his CV to bring out his strengths and value with clarity and relevance.
• Redesigned it to get through today’s tough ATS systems.
• Loaded each application with the right keywords and positioning — no guesswork.
• Shifted from ‘apply for everything’ to ‘apply with purpose’ — only going for roles where there was a strong fit.
• Built confidence with a simple, reliable interview strategy.
• Equipped him with standout questions to show his genuine interest and alignment with each company.

What changed? Everything. His mindset, his energy, and his results.

Within just 7 weeks, Raj landed a role that excites and fulfils him. He’s found his spark again — and it shows. He’s thriving, motivated, and deeply valued in his new team.

This is what’s possible when you stop guessing and get the right support.

If Raj’s story hit home, maybe it’s time to have your own breakthrough.
