When I moved to the UK for my Master’s in Business Analytics, I wasn’t just going back to university, I was starting over.

After working in aviation for six years, shifting into a completely new industry was a big leap.

The lectures felt fast-paced, the coursework was intense, and I was clocking nearly 35 hours a week in part-time jobs.

I’d come home late, completely drained… only to face another deadline.

And then came the job hunt.

I started applying after graduation.

But I had no corporate experience, no clarity, and no real understanding of what job titles even meant.

I sent out applications to anything that sounded remotely relevant.

800 applications. 4 interviews. 1 final round.

Most of the time, I didn’t even know if I was aiming at the right roles.

But that changed the day I found Unimad.

I had a call with Shaki.

He helped me realise: the problem wasn’t my experience, it was how I was presenting it.

With Unimad, I rebuilt my CV, created a Value Proposition Document, and finally saw what a clear, confident application looked like.

More importantly, I started to feel confident myself.

I stopped applying blindly.

I started reaching out to people on LinkedIn, understood the skills I actually needed, and showed up with purpose.

Eventually, I landed a permanent job in a field I once felt unqualified for.

I’m still learning. Still growing.

But now, I’m no longer guessing. I’m building.

So, don’t wait to feel ‘ready.’ Just start.

Most people are figuring it out as they go.

Ask for help. Pivot smart. Keep showing up.

One yes can change everything, but only if you give yourself the chance to get it.
