Let's speak the truth... 

Being an expat looking for a job is the hardest thing you would do to live a better lifestyle.

I mean, isn't this the reason you moved out of your mother country? Build a better future?

Yet the job market doesn't work the way we want. Even if we spent hundreds of hours applying online.

You worked year after year building your career and till this moment you are unable to land your dream offer, or even sit down with a decision-maker just to explain that you are the one they need.

Recruiters might give you a moment of hope when they reach out to you, to realize they were merely ghosting you.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Where to start from? What makes others get referred to great offers while I am doing the same thing 100k other job applicants are doing?

𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩.

I'd love to ask you questions about what would be most helpful to you to aid your hustle. Nothing to sell, just want to have a conversation.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 

1. Design a custom strategy to hack your job market
2. Make yourself wanted, let them come to you!
3. Discover where exclusive jobs are posted but hidden from public
4. Connect with recruiters easily without feeling needy
5. Make Hiring Managers excited to connect and speak to you
6. They need you. Take control of the interview and pass it
7. Negotiate the best package that you deserve

What changed my life wasn’t the outcome.
It was how I chose to look at the outcome.

→ I failed.
╰› I learned.

→ I gave up.
╰› I tried again.

→ I didn’t have time.
╰› I made time.

→ I was alone.
╰› I found myself.

→ I struggled.
╰› I got better.

Every single shift happened
not by force… but by choice.

Change begins with perspective.

The real transformation starts the moment you stop asking “why me?” and start asking “what’s this teaching me?”

Helping executives position themselves to decision makers in the hidden job market | Founder | Networking & Personal Branding Consultant for executives and business owners | Speaker 📢

Early in my career, interviews felt like interrogations.
→ I rehearsed perfect answers.
→ I tried to impress.
→ I left hoping they’d “pick me.”

But everything changed in 2015.
I walked into an interview and flipped the script.

𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦,
I spoke like a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁.

→ I asked about the business.
→ I explored their challenges.
→ I offered ideas.

That day, the energy shifted.
The hiring manager leaned in.
The conversation turned strategic.
→ And I walked out with an offer.

Here’s what I’ve learned since:

→ Great candidates answer questions.
Great hires ask the right ones.

→ Study the company’s business not just the role.
╰› “What’s the biggest pain this role is solving?”
╰› “Where does the team feel stuck today?”

→ Offer insight not opinion.
╰› “In my last role, we tackled something similar. Here’s what worked...”

→ Shift from performance to partnership.
╰› Show how you think, not just what you’ve done.

→ End with impact.
╰› “If I joined tomorrow, here’s the first thing I’d explore…”

Stop trying to be the perfect answer.
Start being the strategic solution.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀?

♻️ Repost this to give someone the clarity and motivation they need to take their next step.

Relevance is a matter of framing.

I didn’t “start over.”
I translated my story to a new audience.

→ Skills like consulting, selling, and managing clients?
╰› Those transfer everywhere.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

→ Inventory your skills through the lens of the new industry.
╰› “What problems have I solved before that exist here too?”

→ Don’t fake expertise leverage your outside perspective.
╰› Innovation comes from cross-industry insight.

→ Find your early advocates.
╰› People who see your value before the market does.

→ Document your transition.
╰› Post about what you’re learning.
╰› You’ll attract people rooting for your growth.

You’re not starting at the bottom.
You’re bringing everything you’ve built
just applying it to a new challenge.

I don’t go to the gym to get six-pack abs.

I go to build habits.

→ The habit of showing up.
╰› Even when I'm tired.
╰› Even when I don’t feel like it.

→ The habit of staying focused.
╰› One rep at a time.
╰› One set at a time.

→ The habit of trusting the process.
╰› Results take time.
╰› But consistency compounds.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.

The same mindset that builds muscles
also builds careers, businesses, and brands.

→ You push past resistance.
→ You get stronger through repetition.
→ You improve by showing up daily, not perfectly.

No one sees the first day at the gym.
No one claps when you start small.

But over time…
everything changes.

Most job seekers approach the market with one question:

“𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙟𝙤𝙗?”

That mindset keeps doors closed.
It puts you in a position of waiting and hoping.

Here’s what changes everything:

→ Ask instead: “Who can I help?”
╰› This shift positions you as a solution, not an applicant.

→ Companies don’t hire people they invest in outcomes.
╰› They look for those who understand their business
and can solve real problems.

→ When you focus on helping, not being hired:
╰› You stand out without trying to “impress.”

→ You stop blending in with applicants.
╰› You become someone who adds value from day one.

→ That’s when the hidden opportunities appear.
╰› The ones no job board will ever show you.

𝗔 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀.
Not because you're lucky because you're needed.

What would your next move look like
if you started acting like a solution provider?

To every job seeker out there

I see you.
And I know it’s tough.

You’re chasing opportunities,
pitching yourself to recruiters,

all while holding on to your dream.

A few years ago, I hit a wall.

No motivation. No energy.
No interest in doing what I 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 needed to be done.

It wasn’t burnout.
It was a lack of systems.

→ I used to wait until I “felt ready” to record content.
╰› Now, I write one bullet point daily, no matter what.
→ I used to push off outreach until I was “in the mood.”
╰› Now, I track 3 contacts a day. Like brushing teeth.

Then something shifted in how I coach executives:

→ 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
╰› We started building small, daily rituals.
╰› Things that are too 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭, too easy to skip.

The same guys who were “stuck” for 6 months?
Now landing hidden opportunities in 6 weeks.

Don’t wait for a burst of inspiration.

Design a system that makes showing up your new default.

4 Pillars of Unshakeable Consistency

The job market doesn’t reward the qualified. 
It rewards the 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

In today’s world, having skills isn't enough. 
You could be the most competent executive out there
but if no one 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 you exist, 
you’ll be left in the shadows.

→ I’ve lived this firsthand. 
╰› Jobless after graduation. 
╰› Rejected by the system. 
╰› Forced to create my own way in.

→ That’s when I realized: 
╰› You don't find jobs online. 
╰› You create 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦. 
╰› You position yourself as a 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳, not a job seeker.

→ Now I teach others to do the same: 
╰› Build a personal brand. 
╰› Learn how to pitch themselves. 
╰› Access the 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 job market.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽. 
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺. 
Where strategies are designed, 
and hidden opportunities are unlocked.

and building a standout executive brand.

I learned this lesson later than I should have.

For years, I focused on building my skills and perfecting my work. 
I assumed opportunities would naturally come to anyone 
who was competent, consistent, and high-performing.
But that wasn’t the case.

I had the capability.
I had the results.
Yet I kept watching others advance faster.

Then I realized the truth.

I wasn’t short on talent.
I was short on visibility.

That’s when everything changed.

I chose one skill people genuinely needed.
I started showing my work publicly.
I let my LinkedIn presence speak for me when I wasn’t in the room.
I stopped collecting connections and started building real conversations.
I focused on relationships, not transactions.
I gave value without expecting anything in return.

The shift was gradual, but undeniable.
People reached out.
Decision-makers responded.
Opportunities came from unexpected places.

This is the part most professionals underestimate:

𝙅𝙤𝙗𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙤.
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲,
you don’t chase opportunities anymore.
Opportunities find you.

Visibility is no longer optional, especially in markets like the GCC.
It’s a competitive advantage.

HOW TO NEVER BE JOBLESS

Running a business can consume you.
and chasing the next big thing can do the same.

→ You start skipping meals,
╰› but not meetings.

→ You serve everyone else,
╰› but forget your own seat at the table.

→ I’ve been there.
╰› I still catch myself there.

But today I stopped.
I sat down.
And I reminded myself:

→ What’s the point of building success
╰› if you’re too tired to enjoy it?

Your clients need your best.
But you do too.

Growth doesn’t only come from hustle.
It also comes from space, culture, and contrast.

Travel changes more than your scenery
it resets your mindset.
