You’ve been sending out applications, tweaking your CV, and updating your LinkedIn. Maybe you’ve even done a few interviews—but nothing’s clicking. And every rejection email stings a little more. You’re clear on what you want to do next, love what you do, and want to do more of it, but something’s clearly off.
The job market can feel like a battleground. I’ve been there too—sending out applications into the void, wondering if anyone’s even reading them. It’s frustrating, demoralising, and after a while, it can start to chip away at your confidence.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve helped professionals like you, from managers to leaders in transition, navigate the complex world of job hunting and stand out in all the right ways.
By 22 I was working in a job earning as much as my 40 y.o. colleagues. I worked with clients who landed roles in well-known companies (Google, Apple, Salesforce, etc) as well as smaller ones.
In the past 7 years of coaching mid-to-senior career professionals, I know what works and what doesn’t. I understand what employers are looking for because I’ve seen what happens on both sides of the hiring table.
More importantly, I know how to help you craft a strategy that gets offers you love.
And, if you qualify, I can guarantee results.
With an approach tested by hundreds of professionals in different industries, you’ll stop guessing and approach every step of the job search with clarity, knowing exactly what works and why – even in a corroded market.
Not just any job—the right job. With the FORMAL technique, you’ll attract more offers from employers who truly value your skills, translating into higher salaries and better opportunities.
When you work with an expert job search coach, you stop focussing on what’s not working. Plus, clients have been able to get a 2-4x Return on Investment on this coaching just from their first negotiation alone.
Compared to other coaching programs…
I don’t just give my clients a fish. I help them learn to fish. And enjoy it.
This means that not only you will get to land at least 2 job offers that fit your career aspiration but learn to market yourself effectively for the rest of your career – even if you’ve never been good at bragging about yourself.
After landing a high-paying job at HSBC right out of university—earning as much as a 40-year-old when I was just 22—I realised the approach I used wasn’t something common. And after testing it successfully with my clients who didn’t have the “formal” experience for those roles, I broke it down into a repeatable process I call FORMAL.
(Additional practice sessions can be added if new fears or negative emotions arise later in the process.)
When you go through difficult events such as failure to secure a job or low confidence, you often create an identity to cope with it – e.g. “hurt or disappointed employee” along with it limiting beliefs and fears – which then holds you back. In 2 sessions, you’ll learn how to remove identities that keep you stuck with associated negative emotions.
For example, we’ll work on releasing fears – e.g. “the grass won’t be greener” – and any other negative emotions about changing jobs, companies, or industries, so you can regain trust and confidence in yourself.
This is a tool you can use for the rest of your life, whenever negative events happen. Session 2 can be done immediately after Session 1 or whenever something comes up that’s holding you back.
Prep required:
1.5 hours to go through some resources and best practices.
In this session, we’ll start by defining your Work Purpose so you work towards something you care about.
“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.”
You’ll develop a clearer understanding of the skills that you have and need while building your own Career Development Profile to help you go from a Work Purpose to a fulfilling and successful career beyond your next job – think of it as a Career GPS that tells you where you are and what you should be focusing on next in your career at least 2-3 steps ahead.
Having mapped out your skills, and knowing exactly what you will target next, you can have the security of a short-term plan while also having the clarity of a longer-term career vision and strategy.
Prep required:
1.5 – 2 hrs to complete several exercises related to the skills and experience you have and need, and your current vision of your career. The questions you don’t have clarity over will be covered during the coaching session.
In these sessions, you’ll get hands-on support to rebrand yourself and your marketing materials (CV, LinkedIn, Portfolio, etc.), as well as create a pipeline of job opportunities—whether advertised or not. (80% of jobs aren’t advertised online).
You’ll get support in finding the right companies, testing the culture, booking interviews, and acing those interviews.
You’ll get time to practice these interviews with Silviu until you feel totally comfortable, confident, and in the flow, enjoying your time speaking to them and demonstrating your competence.
In these sessions, you’ll also understand practically how to gain insights into what the culture of the next team and company is, to ensure the culture is aligned with your values and ethics.
Finally, we’ll do mock negotiations to learn to ask for a package in line with the benefits you bring to the company.
Prep required:
~1.5 – 2hrs . Before each session, you’ll receive best practices, ask you to implement them to the best of your abilities, polish and perfect the marketing materials, interview technique, and negotiation during the coaching sessions.
Cultural fit can make or break your job satisfaction. This guide gives you the tools to confidently assess company cultures before you commit – saving you years lost in the wrong culture and stress.
I was able to easily identify my purpose. After this clarity came, I was able to define my job and literally go for it: I went from $110k to $152k.
(System Engineer)
I thought I was rubbish at negotiating. I discovered that negotiation is a skill. The practice with Silviu was invaluable. I've landed a role with a £12k increase in a company and role that I love.
It's an upgrade in every domain, in the salary, in the mission, in the client in the portfolio, in the team. This is an upgrade everywhere and I can say I'm blessed.
I've gotta say though this [interviewing the company before applying] has been a seriously useful exercise, Silviu. I feel like I dodged a bullet. And now, looking back, I wouldn't have applied for my last 3 jobs!
A big thanks for your help over the month we were working together. I feel the sessions and your guidance made a big difference in helping me land a role at a company I LOVE… and they gave me the tools to strengthen not only my job search but my career and profile in general.
I’ll take on all the risk. If by the end of the 8 sessions, you haven’t yet landed at least 2 job offers (aligned with your aspirations), we’ll continue working together for free until you do.

While recruiters and job boards can be useful, they’re often limited to advertised roles. And you may be pigeonholed into the same roles you’re trying to move away from. My approach goes beyond that—helping you tap into the formal and hidden job market and ensuring you're not just another application in the pile, being pigeonholed into a dead-end job.
Every job search is different, but with the tailored strategies we put in place, many clients start seeing interview opportunities after weeks 4-6.
Yes. Salary negotiation is a key part of our work together. You’ll practice mock negotiations, so you can confidently ask for and secure a package that reflects your value. You’ll learn salary negotiation techniques that will serve you for the rest of your career.
I work with professionals across various industries: tech, finance, healthcare, marketing, etc. The strategies I employe are industry-agnostic. Whether you’re mid-level or senior, the strategies we develop will be tailored to your unique situation.
Yes, our clients are based in the US, UK, Canada, and several countries in Europe, such as France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Ireland, where hiring is done in English. As long as your CV is in English, I can help. Hiring practices are largely similar worldwide.
No. If you don’t love what you’re doing and don’t know what to do next I recommend checking out The Aha! Moment Academy Flagship Programme.
Changing careers requires a deeper focus on clarifying your direction, closing any skills gaps, and rebranding yourself for a new industry.
No, we do not offer introductions to companies. Instead, we help you learn the skill of networking and getting interviews even when you have a small network. You’ll get templates, tips, and techniques to network effectively online, and it’s common for clients to book interviews with VPs of multinational agencies by implementing these strategies.
There’s no hard limit. Most clients land roles within 1-3 months and use their sessions within that period. If you need more time, we can extend it. My goal is to help you win because when you succeed, it builds trust and brings more business through your recommendations.
Absolutely. The tools and methods you learn here aren’t just for your next job—they’re for your entire career. You’ll be able to apply these principles whenever you’re looking to make another career move or negotiation.
