When Emmy arrived in Australia, she set one goal for herself: find a role that aligned with her passion, not just something to pay the bills. And in less than six months, she did exactly that.
She landed a Talent Coordinator position at a creative agency in Brisbane. Because she’s still studying, the company offered her a flexible freelance contract — something rare for international students.
Within just one week, she was already leading her first campaign, and after three weeks, she received a promotion offer to Talent Manager.
Before that, Emmy had completed a Marketing internship at a software company in Melbourne. When it ended, she applied what she’d learned in our sessions — rebuilding her CV, optimising her LinkedIn profile, and tailoring her applications — which quickly helped her land this full-time opportunity.
She later told me:
“Having a strong, tailored CV and LinkedIn profile made all the difference. I didn’t realise how much it mattered until I started getting interviews right away.”
Watching Emmy grow from a student unsure of her path to a confident young professional leading projects in the creative industry makes me so proud. She’s proof that when you prepare early and believe in yourself, incredible things can happen — even in your first year in Australia. 🌻
