Ever packed your dreams in a suitcase and dived into a foreign job market?Â
â
That's a rollercoaster of hope and doubt, especially when you're outside the traditional job-seeker mold.Â
â
Welcome to the world of every ambitious job seeker, a world Gaurav Ramdharne knows intimately.Â
â
From India to the UK, he took on a daunting job market and spun his own success story with the help of Wonsulting.Â
â
How did he do it?Â
â
Keep reading as we trace his footsteps to victory.
â
â
Originally from India, Gaurav relocated to the UK on a Partner Visa without a job offer in hand. A former Cyber Security Officer at Bank Credit Suisse in India, he found himself in a foreign land, grappling to make his resume stand out in the competitive UK job market.
â
Gauravâs daily routine included spending an entire day on applications, applying to 5-6 companies with a generic resume, and skipping the cover letter altogether.Â
â
This process was time-consuming and draining.Â
â
Yet the return on his efforts?Â
â
Absolutely nothing.
â
He even sought the help of a consultancy in India to apply on his behalf, spending a hefty ÂŁ700 and losing 12 precious weeksâonly to receive zero calls for interviews.Â
â
Gauravâs hopes were dwindling, and the financial pressures were mounting. He had bills to pay, monthly rents, student loans, and his savings were depleting fast.
â
â
With more than six years of experience in cyber security and a Masterâs degree from the University of York, Gaurav was qualified and skilledâbut he was still unable to crack the ATS (Applicant Tracking System).Â
â
His CV wasnât making the cut, and he had to consider part-time jobs in hospitality to make ends meet. Gauravâs struggle to land his dream job had taken him from a prospective cyber security officer to a bartender or package delivery personnel.
â
Enter Wonsulting.
â
Wonsulting's mission to assist job seekers from non-traditional backgrounds resonated with Gaurav's journey. He decided to join hands with Wonsulting and transform his job search process.Â
â
â
Gaurav came across Wonsulting through a simple Google search, he found a goldmine of resources and products designed to help him stand out in the UK job market.Â
â
But what tools did Wonsulting provide that made such a significant difference?
â
â
Wonsulting empowered Gaurav with the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) principle, a cornerstone of our career resources.Â
â
The STAR principle is an interview technique that can be used to answer behavioral questions.
â
Hereâs how it works:
â
Situation: Paint a picture and provide important information about the specific example.â
Task: Describe your assigned role or responsibility in that situation.â
Action: Explain the exact steps you took to deal with it.
Result: Share the results or accomplishments that came from your actions.
This powerful approach allowed Gaurav to craft a resume that brought his skills and experiences to the forefront in a way that captivated recruiters.Â
â
Our resources provided Gaurav with the clarity and confidence he needed to present himself compellingly.
â
â
Wonsulting's resources guided Gaurav to tailor his resumes to match each specific job description.Â

â
He signed up for WonsultingAI and used our products to save him time creating resumes, and cover letters.Â
â
The transformation he underwent speaks volumes about the value and effectiveness of Wonsulting's offerings.
â
He was able to send at least 15-20 applications within 5-6 hours to roles and responsibilities that clearly aligned with his skillset. This was a huge improvement from the 5-6 applications he previously sent in one day.
â
Between March 2023 and May 2023 he had 7-8 Interviews scheduled and got selected in 3. He impressively cleared the first round of interviews with 5 companies.
