I reached out to Tshili when I was preparing for a job interview at Meta. Even though that opportunity didn’t work out, the tips and guidance I received were invaluable.

Tshili provided me with incredibly insightful feedback and helped me reshape my portfolio to help me stand out as I was aiming for a FAANG job. The advice was detailed, actionable, and really pushed me to elevate my work. Although I didn’t end up at a FAANG company, I’m thrilled to have landed a fantastic role at a prestigious investment bank, where my career has flourished.

After completing the Google UX Design Certificate, I didn’t really know where to start when it came to creating a CV. Tshili gave me clear, actionable advice to help showcase my previous experience as a nutritionist as a strength and leverage it to stand out. As a result I received positive feedback from several UX industry professionals. The guidance I received was exactly what I needed to navigate the competitive job market confidently.
