"I left a high-flying, comfortable career in the Indian Army in search of growth in Australia. Despite having an MBA and certifications like PgMP and PMP, I landed here as a 'clean slate.' I had no idea how things worked here.

I’ll be honest: my first session with Pan was a rude shock. I was faced with the brutal reality of the job market and realized I was like a toddler on my first day of school. At that point, I was prepared to downscale 2 or 3 levels and take a five-figure salary just to get a foothold. I thought $80k was my limit.

Pan told me exactly how to navigate. I took the plunge and did everything he said without second thoughts. We worked on 'taming AI' (ChatGPT/Claude), rebuilding my LinkedIn, and most importantly, my strategy.

Even after my batch ended, Pan stayed by my side. When I finally interviewed for a Senior position in Perth, I was amazed, the questions the CEO asked were EXACTLY the ones Pan had coached me to prepare for.

Today, I accepted an offer for a $250k package + perks.

If you are a migrant or a professional hesitating to take the leap because you're scared of the risk, trust Pan. Don't settle for 'survival' because you're afraid. If you do exactly as he says and stay patient, he will help you realise the power you already have within you. I am proof that you don't have to downscale your life to start again."

When I joined Pan’s program, I was already applying for roles and getting interviews after a career break, but I wasn’t converting them into offers. I felt close, yet something wasn’t quite landing.

During the program, I refined my CV, strengthened my cover letters, and optimized my LinkedIn profile so they truly reflected my strengths. The 1:1 coaching made a real difference. Having the space to talk through my experience, receive honest feedback, and rethink how I was positioning myself gave me clarity and direction. The program goes beyond CVs and interviews; I also learned how to build my network, approach conversations with intention, and focus on opportunities with a long-term mindset rather than simply chasing the next role.

The biggest shift was internal. I stopped second-guessing myself and started trusting my experience. I’m clearer about the value I bring and feel more confident stepping forward and owning it.

A heartfelt thank you to Pan and Ruwi for their effort, constant support, and for believing in my strengths. This is not just an eight-week program; it’s an investment in your future and your career. It’s not only about securing a job, but about building the confidence, direction, and mindset to grow well beyond it.

I joined Elevar’s 8-week career coaching program at a time when I was genuinely struggling to understand my career direction and whether I should be competing in highly saturated graduate programs.

During the initial clarity call, Pan helped me realise that my capabilities were already above traditional graduate-level expectations and encouraged me to focus on roles aligned with that level, rather than underselling myself. This came at a point when I had lost a lot of confidence due to academic pressure, uncertainty, and difficulty securing part-time work.

Throughout the program, the support from Pan and Ruvi — particularly around resume refinement, cover letter polishing, and role targeting — helped me gradually rebuild belief in myself. More importantly, the clarity I gained allowed me to focus only on roles that genuinely suited my profile, rather than applying everywhere and absorbing unnecessary rejection and stress.

The program was genuinely transformational from a psychological and confidence-building perspective. After completing my studies and entering the job market at year-end — combined with receiving my full-time work rights only in November — I was still able to secure a full-time permanent role in my desired field by December of the same year.

In a job market that is genuinely testing people, I would strongly encourage anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain to consider making this investment. For me, it made a real and lasting difference.

I joined the program while actively applying for roles, tailoring CVs, and reaching out to recruiters but feeling overwhelmed and unsure what was actually effective.

What made this experience valuable was the practical structure combined with a strong focus on mindset. I learned tools that helped reduce rework and narrow my efforts to what genuinely moves the job search forward.

The coaching approach was calm, clear, and energising, and the group environment added support and perspective. It wasn’t just about tactics, it was about learning how to manage energy, build self-belief, and approach the process with more balance.

Overall, this program helped me gain clarity, confidence, and a more sustainable way of moving forward. I’d recommend it to anyone who feels stuck despite putting in consistent effort.
