For the past couple of months, I had the pleasure of working with Avra Lyraki as my Global Employment Advisor. After a substantial career break I came to Ms. Lyraki with a very specific request – how do I present myself in a professional setting? Avra was very patient yet straightforward in assessing my strengths, increasing my professional self-confidence and guiding me through the necessary steps to create my “new narrative.” I am very happy with the elevator pitch we created and with the honest yet friendly feedback I received about my resume. It was also useful to talk to a professional career advisor about possible ways to merge my past career in international relations and project management with newly acquired skills in technology, cyber security and artificial intelligence.
