Samar’s tips were just outstanding, it lights so many bulbs and it gave me the chance to know myself, and my strength much better after she add her magic. In the beginning, I just thought she will give me some advice about optimising my LinkedIn profile, but actually, she took it very professionally and made it a case study. It took me some time to do all her tips.

The Eye on detail that samar has is very powerful, she can get the best out of your profile then make it Grow and Glow basically. That’s what I can confirm from her profile status.

After applying her tips I got more views from different companies Talent Acquisition. I highly recommend working with Samar, she really knows what’s going on and I can confirm that her magic is needed nowadays in the job market.

I had a very positive experience working with Samar Siala as she guided me tremendously with my CV and cover letter. As someone who has generally followed a more American approach to the two documents, Samar was very helpful in providing insight from a Dutch perspective.

Samar taught me how to restructure the content of my CV in order for it to be objective-driven content-wise as well as more visually appealing. Likewise, for the cover letter, Samar highlighted the importance of answering key fundamental questions in order to streamline content and capture an employer’s attention.

Additionally, as an expat who has just moved to The Netherlands, Samar provided a much-needed dose of encouragement, motivation, and support. She is empathetic and empowering. It was a pleasure meeting her and learning from her.

I was one of the lucky ones who got the chance to have my LinkedIn profile reviewed by Samar Siala to receive professional recommendations on how to improve the messages I would like to present in my profile.

The detailed criticisms on my profile were very precisely worded to avoid feeling bad about what I have missed writing but made me think it could be better “this way” or “that way” with reasons and examples, which gave me the thrill of discovering something new I was not aware of before, while I was looking at it all the time.

I really enjoyed the beautifully presented report sent by Samar, in addition to the comments, the constant follow up, cheering the changes which made me feel confident, and if this would be paid service I will gladly pay, as I received an excellent value that opened my eyes to areas that I have never explored before.

I’m still working on my profile to apply the recommendations, as it requires recalling some details from my previous work experience, and it is worth it 👍

I had the pleasure to experience career coaching firsthand with Samar Siala. I was invited to a very important interview, and I really wanted to get this job. However, I had minimal experience on how to prepare myself for an interview, what to say, how to act and, even, what to wear. It was becoming more and more stressful for me, but then I met Samar.

She explained everything to me in such detail that it was so easy to follow. We practiced my elevator speech, prepared a STAR story for every point of the job description, talked about practicalities and discussed how to answer those tricky questions such as “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” Samar’s calming attitude helped me psychologically, she told me that interview is a great life experience, and whatever happens is a good outcome anyway. The next day I went for an interview and got the job. For that, I thank Samar from all my heart.

I met Samar when she was advertising an opportunity for her to review LinkedIn profile for a first come first serve raffle. I was lucky enough to be one of the people she helped in shaping up to our Linkedin profile. she was Methodical, accurate and patient in her review, always approachable and punctual. I have gained so much from her and her words echo inside my head every time I want to update my Linkedin profile. I am proud to say after Samar’s recommendations my profile views had increased by a staggering 60% and got more than 3 job offers. I think Samar was brilliant in identifying what makes a profile stand out and she truly understands recruiters and HR mentality I am honoured to endorse Samar.

Samar’s career coaching approach is strongly founded on principles from positive psychology (PP). PP partially focuses and builds on what strengths you have rather than trying to fix weaknesses that are unlikely to transform into strengths. Thanks to six sessions with her, I discovered what my three core values and top-five strengths are, and I’m able to track my past decision-making tendencies, both on a career and personal level, back to these. Knowing what makes you tick and what you do well are key building blocks to success. They’re connected to unlocking motivation, the ability to persevere and discovering what careers you could perform well in. Also thanks to Samar, I created and followed through with S.M.A.R.T. goals to successfully improve key Wheel of Life areas. Together, we confirmed I made the right career change decision as I have a strong love of learning, supporting others, and having opportunities to take on many different tasks and challenges at once.

I recommend Samar as a career coach, because she is a keen and highly engaged listener with a passion for coaching, who excels at asking questions that poke holes through your personal beliefs to help you understand who you really are and what you really want from your career (and life).
