Student Testimonials

Silvia Tran - Mechanical Design Engineer, Honeywell Intelligrated

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Penn State University

“Kwan taught me to rewrite my resume from scratch. I learned how to include keywords and highlight my skills in my public profiles. After that, I received so many responses from recruiters. I think the response rate increased by at least 80%, and I would get calls from agencies and companies asking if I was interested in certain positions every day.”

Jerome Thomas - Supply Chain Intern, Schlumberger

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati

“I have learned that there is a lot more to networking than just going to meetings—there are opportunities everywhere. I love the fact that Kwan gives us real-life examples and gives us solutions that are actually helpful. She goes deep into the problem and makes everything relatable since it is tailored to international students.”

Yvette Hu - Business Analyst, MUFG

M.S. in Management Systems, New York University

“I was very lucky to have met Kwan when I was in my graduate school. Kwan has used her HR professional skills and knowledge to help me tie my stories to Knowledge, Skills and Abilities that the employers are looking for. I got a job offer as a business analyst at global bank in NY a month before I graduated.”

Shubham Barnwal - Supply Chain Engineer, Schlumberger

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati

I was amazed to know new things about how to market myself and how to improve my profile for job search in the U.S. Kwan's coaching techniques really helped. I learned how to ask questions and get to know the needs of the potential employers & then showcase our skills as to how I can help them.
