TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say
I got an analyst role with visa sponsorship + a 24% salary increase! The process was very organised, and made me feel we had a mutual goal. I could clearly see weekly progress in my job-hunting process.
I am highly satisfied with Valeria’s services, I like how she was on top of things and was always available to help. I got a position at Jaguar Land Rover with visa sponsorship even before graduating, and to have something so early is great.
Valeria gave me a step-by-step guide and reviewed all my applications at every level. Valeria is the only reason I achieved my dream job of working with one of the Big 4 firms. Her determination and professionalism are overwhelming.
The best thing about working with Valeria was that she was always very positive and motivating. I’ve secured a job in a company which has great diversity and culture and also sponsors work visas for international students.
I’d give a 100/10 satisfaction score if that was possible! Valeria helped me become more professional and confident as a person. Since working with Valeria, I have managed to land a job at a digital marketing agency in Manchester.
I was hired by a leading oil and gas service company. Valeria helped me to ensure that the company would sponsor my visa. Also, once you start working with her, she will always support you with advice.
