Hey there! It’s time to start looking for a job abroad!

I learned about AgileFluent by accident. I lost my job and decided to start looking for a job abroad. I started with the Self-Presentation sprint and later I took the Tricky Questions sprint. I am fluent in English but I am not very confident and I was looking for support. After two sprints I learned to answer the most unexpected questions. I also got a lot of support from the team and started to believe in myself. Now I work in an international project: I lead an international team of marketing specialists.

Before AgileFluent I had been in active job search and had spent a lot of time looking for one. I felt like I was doing something wrong because I would fail at the very last stages of the process. I wanted to receive feedback on my self-presentation, create a roadmap, work on my weak spots, and find a job. I used to think that it’s not necessary and even impossible to prepare for an interview. I would improvise every time and that must have played a bad joke against me.
Assisted by a tutor and a recruiting expert, I found what could be highlighted in my experience. Now I work as a Product Manager at TalentTech in Latvia.

Taking interviews in the Russian market turned into dull routine for me but it had always been hard to take interviews in English. I was attracted to the international market because of its goals, tasks, and salaries. At the same time I didn’t know what international recruiters were looking for. I got lots of useful recommendations from AgileFluent that I can use both in the Russian and international markets. I practiced giving self-presentations and I got rid of the language barrier. I found my growth zones, thanks to my mentor and HR specialist.

I came to AgileFluent to practice my language and get some insights on how to pass a job interview. It’s important for me to understand what the HR wants to hear from me. I took 5 sprints (Self-Presentation, Cases&Stories, My Effective CV, and Tricky Questions). As a result I got a lot of speaking practice on a daily basis. There was a lot of high quality feedback on how to pass a job interview in every sprint.

Although I am an HR specialist myself, I took a CV sprint. This was an amazing experience. Just in one week I managed not only to create my CV in English but also improve my English and get valuable feedback from another HR specialist. As an HR specialist, I admire the quality and relevance of the educational material that the AgileFluent team has created. I was to able to look at my own experience from a different perspective and learn new phrases in English that help me describe my background.
