You have more to offer than your CV shows.
Let's find where you fit in the Australian job market.
For new graduates and experienced professionals alike: one honest conversation about where you should be heading, and how to get there.

Does this sound familiar?
Your job title doesn't translate.
You were a "product manager" back home. Here, that work is often called business analyst or product owner, and recruiters read your CV against the wrong role.
Your CV says three different things.
Product one line, marketing the next. If you're not sure what you're applying for, the person reading it won't be either.
Interviews, then silence.
It's easy to blame your English. More often, the problem is direction: the roles don't match what you actually want, and interviewers can tell.
No work experience yet?
That's fine. Uni projects, internships, part-time jobs, clubs and volunteering often show more than you think. I help you pick the right ones and present them for the role you want.
How I help
Before we talk, you tell me what you want from the hour. If you'd like me to study your CV first, add preparation time.
In the session, we work out what you actually want and what the Australian market calls it.
You leave with next steps: the title to use, the course or experience to add, and what to change on your CV.

About me
I'm quick at spotting what matters. Give me a few minutes and I can usually see your knack, then point you to one way to sell yourself, instead of a CV that reads like a warehouse of a hundred things you've done.
I'm Ko-Chen Wu. In more than ten years as a manager in Australia, I've been the hiring manager many times over: reading CVs, interviewing candidates, deciding who gets the job. I grew up in Asia and built my career here as a senior manager and management consultant, so I know both sides: what you bring, and what employers here are listening for. I've spoken at the University of Melbourne and helped many graduates and career changers one-on-one.
