S. A. Early career Customer Support → Tech Support

Martin L. Senior Senior Operations Specialist

How we approach different situations

A closer look at how we handle specific client scenarios and the outcomes they see.

Case study 1

Challenge

Strong experience in NGO work but a CV focused on tasks instead of outcomes, broad applications across NGOs with no clear focus, and three months of applications with no interview invitations.

What we did

Reframed responsibilities into clear impact bullets, aligned language to target NGO job descriptions, and updated the LinkedIn headline and About section to match target roles.

Outcome

Secured 3 interview invitations within 4 weeks of using the new CV and LinkedIn profile.

Case study 2

Challenge

Client wanted to move from customer service into a technical support role, but their CV did not highlight transferable skills and struggled to convince recruiters outside the current industry.

What we did

Mapped customer service experience to troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, highlighted systems and tools already used, and positioned the profile for junior tech roles with clear growth potential.

Outcome

Shortlisted for multiple entry-level tech support roles and gained momentum in the career switch.

Case study 3

Challenge

Mid-level banking professional had strong performance reviews but a CV that read as a generic operations profile, making it difficult to compete for regional roles with higher responsibility and pay.

What we did

Restructured the CV around key impact areas (cost savings, risk reduction, process improvement), added quantified achievements for each role, and aligned keywords with regional operations manager job descriptions.

Outcome

Invited to multiple regional operations manager interviews and secured an offer with a 25% salary increase.

Case study 4

Challenge

Senior public sector officer wanted to move into a multilateral organisation but their CV was heavily task-based, long, and full of internal jargon unfamiliar to international hiring panels.

What we did

Condensed the CV from 7 to 4 pages, translated internal programme language into outcomes aligned to SDG and donor priorities, and created a tailored cover letter that clearly articulated international experience and stakeholder impact.

Outcome

Shortlisted for roles in two multilateral organisations and progressed to panel interview stage for a regional programme manager position.
