hi, I'm Ilia

Land a job abroad and keep growing

I help professionals from Russian-speaking countries break into the international job market and grow there. I work both with people who are only planning to relocate and with those who already live and work in Europe or the US. Resumes and LinkedIn, interviews, salary negotiation, career English.

If this sounds like you, let's talk

sound familiar?
You want to relocate, but it's unclear where to start and whether Western employers need your experience.
You've been applying for months and get silence or template rejections.
You reach final interviews, but the offer goes to another candidate.
In your native language you'd present your results vividly. In English they sound flat.
You're stronger than many colleagues, yet somehow others get promoted.
Talking about terms and money is hard, and you end up settling for less.

One-off consultations

A session usually lasts an hour and takes place online. If your task needs more or less time, just tell me and we'll adjust. Prices are in US dollars; you can also pay in euros or rubles.
