Frequently Asked Questions

The right package depends on the level of support you need and the complexity of your situation.

If you already know the type of roles you are targeting but your applications are not converting, the Kickstart Package is usually the best starting point.

If you are not yet clear about your target roles, the type of employers you should approach, or why your job search is not moving forward, the Strategic Launchpad is more appropriate. It offers more structured support around job search strategy, positioning, networking, and interview preparation over several months.

If you are facing a major career transition, repositioning beyond the humanitarian sector, returning home after years in the field, or redefining your professional identity, the Full Transformation offers deeper strategic accompaniment.

If you are unsure, the best first step is to book a Career Strategy Call. We will clarify together which level of support makes sense for your situation.

Yes, especially if the issue is not your experience, but how your experience is being positioned.

In today’s humanitarian job market, strong experience is no longer enough on its own. Your CV, LinkedIn profile, cover letters, and networking strategy need to clearly show your value, your fit, and your ability to respond to current market needs.

The work usually focuses on identifying where your applications are losing traction and rebuilding your profile so recruiters can understand your relevance faster.

The Kickstart Package is designed for professionals who need focused, practical support to improve their positioning quickly.

It is best suited if you already have a target direction but need to strengthen your CV, LinkedIn profile, and application strategy so your profile becomes clearer, more competitive, and more recruiter-ready.

If you are applying for a specific role and want expert feedback before submitting, the Application Audit under the Quick Support section, may be the best option.

It includes a review of one CV and one target role or application, written feedback, and a strategic 45minutes feedback call.

This is a good option if you do not yet need a full package but want to understand why a specific application may not be strong enough.

Yes. Many humanitarian and development professionals are now targeting remote, hybrid, or internationally based roles.

Remote job search requires a different positioning strategy. Your profile needs to show autonomy, written communication, cross-cultural collaboration, remote coordination, and the ability to deliver without constant supervision.

This can be addressed through the Application Audit, Kickstart Package, or Strategic Launchpad, depending on the level of support you need and the type of role you are targeting.

If you are also changing sector, relocating, or redefining your professional direction, the Full Transformation may be more appropriate.

My work is mainly designed for humanitarian and development professionals who are navigating job search, career transitions, leadership growth, or repositioning in a changing sector.

This includes professionals who want to:

• move within the humanitarian or development sector

• transition into adjacent spaces such as NGOs, foundations, universities, international organisations, consulting, human rights, migration, or social impact

• reposition their experience for the private sector

• explore entrepreneurship, independent consulting, or portfolio careers

I occasionally support professionals who want to transition into the aid sector, especially when they bring relevant transferable experience. But my core expertise is supporting aid professionals who need to clarify, translate, and reposition their experience for their next step.

The common thread is not only the sector. It is the need to make your experience understandable, credible, and strategic for the market you are targeting.

Yes. Many of the professionals I support have 10, 15, or 20+ years of experience.

Senior profiles often face specific challenges: being perceived as too senior, too specialized, too field-based, too expensive, or difficult to “translate” into new markets.

The work is not about reducing your experience. It is about making it clearer, more strategic, and easier for the right employers to understand.

Yes. This is often part of the work.

Many humanitarian professionals have strong transferable skills, but they struggle to explain them in a way that makes sense outside the sector.

We work on translating your experience into language that resonates with your target market, while keeping your professional identity coherent and credible.

This may include transitions toward foundations, universities, consulting, social impact, the private sector, entrepreneurship, or portfolio careers.

For deeper transitions, the Full Transformation is usually the most appropriate option.

For senior leaders navigating complex repositioning, organisational change, or executive-level transitions, the Executive Path may be more suitable.

My approach combines humanitarian sector expertise, career strategy, positioning, and practical recruitment insight.

I do not only review documents. I help you understand how your profile is being perceived, where the gaps are, and how to reposition your experience for the roles, organisations, or sectors you are targeting.

The work is strategic, tailored, and grounded in the realities of today’s humanitarian and development job market.

Beyond the immediate outcome — a stronger CV, LinkedIn profile, application strategy, or transition plan — the goal is for you to learn how to position yourself with more clarity and confidence throughout the rest of your career.

The goal is to help you gain clarity, improve your positioning, strengthen your applications, and approach your job search or transition with a more strategic system.

I cannot guarantee interviews or job offers, because recruitment depends on many external factors. But the accompaniment is designed to increase the quality, relevance, and competitiveness of how you present yourself.

For many clients, the first result is not only a stronger CV or LinkedIn profile, but a clearer understanding of where they fit and how to move forward.

This is not therapy, and it is not generic coaching.

The focus is professional: career direction, job search strategy, positioning, applications, LinkedIn, interviews, transitions, and decision-making.

It can include reflection and confidence-building, especially during difficult career moments, but always with a clear strategic and practical objective.

The Career Strategy Call is a 30-minute conversation to understand your situation, your goals, and the challenges you are facing.

After the call, I will recommend the most appropriate level of support if I believe I can help. You can then decide whether you want to move forward.

There is no pressure to commit during the call.
