Founder @Workabuddy | Teaching people the skills the education system doesn’t - helping them thrive in their careers | Striving to be LinkedIn’s Most Helpful Person

So, my LinkedIn profile has a bit of a split personality.

I’ve dedicated a part of my life to helping people learn the skills they wished they were taught already.

80% of our society are poorly prepared for the future, particularly in landing a job.

And those of you who have managed to land a job?

Well, you may be wrestling and grappling with your career because the education system has failed you.

A system that didn’t teach you:

- how to communicate effectively
- what the working world is really like
- how to lead, motivate and inspire others
- how to problem solve, ideate, and be creative
- how to listen with empathy and present with purpose.

So many skills that you should feel comfortable and confident with.

But sadly you’re not.

77% of people are ready to learn new skills. But you don't have the right systems to teach you.

Now, what if I told you there’s a way to:

- tailor your job application to help you stand out from the crowd
- create an awesome first impression after your CV is reviewed
- identify your best career stories and conversation points
- overcome your interview anxiety and become a natural
- address your fears and challenges in your career path?

Your first reaction may be “Yeah right, like THAT’S possible”, but we’ve already helped hundreds who have all benefitted from our free services.

Not only that, but we also run a free community for you to join.

Where you can::

- access a safe space to share concerns
- level up your career and learn from others
- stretch yourself through our personal growth challenges
- pair up with accountability buddies to achieve those challenging goals
- benefit from support for your everyday work problems and burning questions.

If you’re serious about learning skills to land your dream job and thrive in your career, then head over to www.workabuddy.com (or view my Featured section to find further info).

You may be thinking: “Is this really all free? There must be hidden costs in here!”

I’ll address your concern — Yes, it’s all free. Really. We take great satisfaction in knowing that we’ve helped others in what are clearly challenging times.

So, let’s teach you the skills you need now. Shoot me a message today.

—---

Oh, wait a minute…

I said I have a split personality.

Well, that’s right. It’s split because I work full-time for UK’s national health service too - working in a senior, non-clinical, role where I use the stories I’ve collected over the years to help others along the way.

But that’s a story for another day. 

Right now, I'm here to help you and my DMs are open to you.

Psychology Intern

Hey there! I'm Arushiy, and boy, introducing myself on LinkedIn is quite the adventure! But here goes nothing:

So, not too long ago, I was itching to dive into the corporate world and make a splash. And guess what? Here I am! Just graduated from Amity University Lucknow, with a fancy degree in Applied Psychology (HONS).

Studying psychology has been an absolute blast. I mean, seriously, understanding why people do the things they do and what makes them tick is mind-bogglingly fascinating!

I'm a total people person, and meeting new folks and getting to know them is my jam. And guess what? It comes in handy in my HR role because, duh, people are the heart and soul of any company. Every day is a whirlwind of human interaction, and I love it!

Oh, and did I mention that I used to be the Sports Captain in school? Yep, I'm all about that team spirit and leadership. Sports taught me some killer skills like managing a squad and leading from the front.

But hey, my thirst for knowledge and new experiences doesn't stop there! I'm always up for trying out new things and embarking on wild adventures. Life's too short to stay in the comfort zone, am I right?

When I'm not busy being a social butterfly, you'll find me nose-deep in a good book or scribbling away. I'm particularly fascinated by graphology, which is basically fancy talk for handwriting analysis. Pretty cool, huh?

And here's my golden rule: passion is the secret ingredient that brings limitless possibilities to life. Trust me on that one!

So, that's the lowdown on yours truly. Got any questions? Hit me up! I'm all ears and more than happy to help you out. Cheers!
