Wow! These testimonials from happy clients who have successfully navigated their job search journeys in Israel truly touch me 💖 Two of my amazing clients, Sebastian Perez and Hava Kranat, took the time to write in detail and share their experiences working with me in their own words. Their authenticity and depth, unlike previous shorter reviews, provide incredible insights for all job seekers. I'm feeling incredibly grateful and humbled! 🙏🏻 Reading their stories, I couldn't help but notice some commonalities that I'm sure many of you fellow Olim can relate to: 😖 The frustration of sending out countless CVs and hearing crickets in return 😫 The feeling of self-doubt when facing rejection after rejection 🧐 The confusion of navigating a new job market in a new country (the cultural gap is real!) 🎉 And most importantly, the satisfaction of finally landing the job they wanted (woo-hoo!) But as they say, I don't do anything by myself - I can guide, but they also need to be: 🎯 Resilient and determined 🏁 Willing to try a different approach 🚩 Accountable for their own achievements THAT is what makes all the difference, and THAT is when I can help Olim stand out from the crowd! Their stories beautifully illustrate how targeted guidance can make a world of difference: ✨ We created structured, customized strategies that fit their unique skills and experience ✨ We worked on crafting CVs that actually get noticed ✨ We practiced those tricky interview questions and regained confidence through mock interviews (Sebastian says: "I still find it quite funny how the questions I was asked in the interview were the same exact ones I practiced with Carol" 🤭) ✨ We discussed some of the cultural differences which helped them navigate more clearly ✨ We reviewed their employment contracts and got a better understanding and a better offer in the end ✨ We focused on their specific goals, not just any job that came along ✨ And guess what? Both Sebastian and Hava landed their ideal roles within about 3 months! Every journey is unique, but it's amazing what can happen when you have a clear strategy and stay committed To Sebastian and Hava: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your journeys so openly. Your success stories and satisfaction mean the world to me. I'm so proud of what you've achieved and excited to see where your careers take you next. Wishing you both continued success and fulfillment in your new roles! 🚀 𝗧𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁:  I see you.

Let's talk about how #AI can be your ally in your job search journey. Ignoring AI's significant impact on our daily lives and careers is impossible. As a career consultant, I've been leveraging it extensively - both with my clients and through their shared experiences of using AI to enhance efficiency and automate certain tasks. Today, I'm happy to share several practical AI tools that can enhance your job search process. Check out the carousel for tips on: 📌 Discovering job boards (Yaniv Beaudoin's and Shaul Daon's tools mentioned) 📌 Tracking applications 📌 Customizing CVs (Leora Golomb's guide mentioned) 📌 Preparing for assignments 📌 Practicing for interviews I hope you'll discover something new and valuable! Don't forget to bookmark this post for future reference. You might be wondering: "If AI can do all this, do I still need career consulting services?" Here's my perspective: My value lies in years of experience in the Israeli job market, a deep understanding of company cultures, and the ability to provide empathetic, tailored advice. AI is a powerful tool, but it's most effective when combined with human insight and expertise. As I recently learned in an AI course: "AI won't replace professionals, but professionals who effectively use AI will have a significant advantage over those who don't." The key is learning how to leverage AI as a tool to amplify your unique human skills and experiences. Do you use AI in your job search? Have you tried any of these tools? Are there any important tools I forgot? Share your experiences in the comments!

Let me tell you how a single consultation led to a 6,000 NIS annual raise for a client this week! Remember that client I mentioned in my post last week (I'll add the link to it in the first comment)? Well, he recently received a work contract from a potential employer. As we've been working together for a while, he reached out to me for assistance in reviewing the contract. We sat down together and carefully went over the document. I walked him through each clause, ensuring he fully understood the terms. We distinguished between what's mandated by law and what additional benefits were being offered. This step was crucial – you'd be surprised how many people sign contracts without truly understanding what they're agreeing to! Next, I advised him on the optimal order to address each point during the negotiation. Yes, that's also important! The sequence in which you bring up different aspects can significantly impact the overall outcome. Finally, we discussed how to frame his requests effectively. It's not just about what you ask for, but how you ask for it. Now, guess what happened? My client went into his negotiation armed with knowledge and strategy. The result? He successfully negotiated most of his desired terms! But here's the kicker – and the most tangible outcome: He secured an increase of 500 NIS per month over the initial salary offer. That's an extra 6,000 NIS in just one year! This story illustrates a crucial point: investing in professional career advice can yield returns that far exceed the initial cost. Now I ask you: isn't it worth investing in expert advice to maximize its value? Think about that! ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ ⚡Hi, I'm Carol! 👋🏻 and I'm a Career Consultant. ⚡As a fellow Olah Chadasha, I understand the unique challenges newcomers face. ⚡I bring a unique blend of personal experience as a job seeker and professional expertise as a Talent Acquisition to support Olim on their career paths in Israel. ⚡I offer personalized career advice to help you fast-track your Israeli career! 📞 Schedule a first free call with me by clicking "Book an Appointment" on my LinkedIn profile.

To mark this milestone, I want to share my top tips on how to ace this crucial phase. It's important to remember that this step can make or break your chances of getting that much-desired job offer.

"You're being too negative." Not exactly the feedback I was expecting during a complimentary call with a potential client today. But you know what? I'm thankful for it. Why? Because sometimes, the most valuable insights come from the most uncomfortable truths. It made me realize how important it is to create a positive narrative, especially for those people who don't know me, never interacted with my content before, and are meeting me for the first time during that short 20-minute phone call. But let me be honest - maintaining positivity hasn't been easy lately. In the last couple of days, it's been challenging to embody our Israeli motto of "deliver no matter what" in these uncertain times. The constant threat of a major attack against our country weighs heavily on all of us. We never know exactly when it might happen or how it'll affect our lives going forward. Despite these challenges, this feedback made me realize how crucial it is to frame difficulties in a constructive light, even when addressing harsh realities. To my followers and friends, the lesson I learned today is: Remember that not every day will be your best, and that's okay. What matters is how we learn and grow from our mistakes. While this experience may have cost me a potential client, it reinforced an important principle: the power of learning with the hurdles life brings us. "When life gives you dirt, grow some flowers." 🌷🌹🪻🌻 Moving forward, I'm committed to approaching every conversation with renewed optimism and compassion. I'd like to hear from you! How do you maintain a positive outlook in difficult times? Share your thoughts in the comments!

𝗜'𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! I recently had the pleasure of working with Deborah Segalovich, an experienced #ProductManager eager to transition from a small company to a larger one for career growth. She reached out for interview simulations tailored to two specific roles at main Israeli companies. During our sessions, I provided feedback on effectively sharing her unique story and strengths, ensuring she stood out. We also refined the questions she planned to ask in interviews to ensure she would get everything she was looking for. I was excited to hear she landed a Product Manager role at Artlist, exactly what she was looking for! You can read her testimonial in the image. I'm really proud of her success and happy to have helped another Olah (and a fellow Brazilian) reach her career goals! My client's achievements are my achievements too! 🚀🎯 It’s rewarding and reminds me why I love what I do - guiding talented Olim and international professionals to rise above the crowd and land great jobs in Israel. Thank you for the kind and honest testimonial, Deborah! 🫶🏻 Ready to boost your job search or just prepare for an interview?

Job hunting in Israel as an Oleh Chadash - does this sound familiar? 'I have an international background, but it's hard to find a job in Israel.' 'I've had many interviews with great international companies, but still no luck...' 'I have experience in tech and innovation, but it feels like I'm starting from zero...' Are you nodding? These are real words from a recent client. Maybe they sound like your story too? I get it - I've walked in those shoes. The Israeli job market can be tough, especially when you're bringing a wealth of international experience that doesn't always translate easily. Today, after our first meeting, a client sent me this thank you message. She also had difficulty believing I could help her. But I was able to help her by listening to her experience and giving personalized advice. Yes, I know that career consulting costs money. But consider it an investment in you, your future, and the life you're building here. It's about equipping yourself with the tools to not just land a job, but to thrive in your career. I invite you to schedule a first free call with me and let's talk. Let's work together to overcome the challenges you're facing! Your journey to stand out from other job seekers can start now!
