Hey! I`m Zara and I am here to help you get your dream job!
If you are a beginner who is looking for a better job but feels overwhelmed with all the job hustle, this is a great place to be right now!
I am the foreigner, the non-native self-starter, the ex-housekeeper, who managed to start a successful corporate career with no professional background and almost zero contacts!
Today, I aim to help women like you set their career goals, fulfill their aspirations, build confidence, and become financially independent!
I`m also here to tell you your dream job is just around the corner. If you are ready to move from your past and create a better future for yourself I will help you get what you desire and deserve!
MY STORY:
I`m 31 years young and I live and work in London. I`m a Finance Analyst at the office and a happy mom and wife at home. Well, I`m also a loyal (and sometimes crazy) friend for my gals.
For the past few years, I have managed to build a strong skillset, sustainable connections, and great friendships. All this thanks to my job!
That is why MyJobMove was born – to help other women do the same!
Because you deserve the opportunity to get a job that makes you proud, happy and financially independent. No matter what your background is!
I’ve done it, you can do too!
Was it hard?
Hell, yeah!
The beginning was hard indeed! I remember moving to London like it was yesterday…Actually, it was back in 2012. Coming from a small, peaceful town in Eastern Europe where personal happiness and joy are priorities, moving to one of the biggest cities in the world was tough karma. It takes twice (if not treble) the effort to prove you are worthy, capable, and deserve a better chance.
It was like changing identities: I was a student in one of the best universities in my home country, surrounded by intelligent and ambitious people. I was chasing dreams, making friendships, enjoying the life of a gal in her early twenties.
But I made the choice to move abroad. Just like that: to look for new challenges and explore a completely different world.
And the fairytale began. I felt like Alice in Wonderland the City for the first couple of months: the huge buildings, the amazing museums, endless dining options…There were so many attractions to explore from.
But I also had to think about the rent, the food and generally how to make it on my own. That`s why I had to dump Alice and turn into Cinderella. I didn`t have permission to be hired by employers for a long time (2 years to be exact) so I had to start working as a self-employed person. I was something between a housekeeper and a nanny at £6.00 per hour.
I won`t go into details of my housekeeping career because the only important thing is that this two-year-long journey helped me become the strong and independent woman I am today.
But I have to mention the 5th of December 2012. I will never forget that day. I was cleaning the bathroom of a lady in South London that made me do it 4 times before giving me the well-deserved £12 while my peers were having the official graduation party back home. This was the day when I promised myself I will start a successful corporate career in London. No matter what!
Man, it was hard…The language barrier, the cultural differences, the financial struggles, the stereotypes… I`ve been misjudged at least 1000 times! If you are (or have been) in a similar situation, you know exactly what I`m talking about.
Yet, I have made it! Two years later I got my foot into the corporate world. I got a job that I still enjoy! No family money, no power, no rich partner, no connections, no real home… I have made it thanks to my own self, my confidence, and my persistence…
But I was really frustrated at the start of my application process. Most career building platforms and recruitment services were mainly tailored to help professionals. Unfortunately, they still are… It`s easy to build an attractive resume and apply when you have a lot to offer, right?
But what if you`re starting from scratch?
YOUR STORY?
If you are a complete beginner and don`t have the fancy qualifications or years of professional experience, I really feel your pain! Because I’ve been there, and I know how overwhelming that is.
That`s why I created MyJobMove and here I share my experience and advice, the mistakes that I`ve made, and all the tips and tricks to help you start a successful career from scratch. MyJobMove was born to inspire, motivate, and help you get the job that you`ve been dreaming of!

HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT ME:
I am NOT…
… The Guru, the Expert, and the Specialist with “25+ years of experience in recruitment”. I cannot guarantee you`ll get what you want in life by downloading a PDF or enrolling in a course.
I`m also not a Lady with the perfect manners, expensive clothing, and fancy accessories who teaches you how to enter the high-caliber society.
I`ve been there once. I didn`t like it.
I prefer wearing my denim, my wedding ring, and having out loud laughter with my girls.
I am…
…Simply a person who managed to succeed and wants to help YOU do the same.
I`m currently building a successful career in Finance although I have a degree in Science of Culture and a diploma in Business and Administration.
But helping people to achieve their personal best is my second nature.
It always has been. I haven`t even realized how and when I started helping non-natives with their career choices, resumes, and language skills (I should say here I have not yet achieved a mastery in English which is pretty obvious when you read through my posts! But please take this as an example that progress is more important than perfection😊).
I got certified in life coaching because I really enjoy this part of my life and one year later MyJobMove was born!
I`m proud of…
…My great relationships with friends and colleagues, my daughter, my family, my roots, and…my job! (not necessarily in this order 😊)
I am from…
…Bulgaria, Eastern Europe but currently work and live in London, UK.
I really believe that…
…You can get a job that makes you happy, proud, and financially independent regardless of what your background is!
Whether you want to nine-to-five it or create your own business, the best time to start chasing your dreams is NOW!
For me, success is…
…Not a cliché! It`s something personal. It should be.
I find success in being valuable to myself and others, have the so-called “inner peace” and feel good about who I am and what I do.
I strongly believe any successful thing in life starts with your desire to progress further and the belief you can achieve more! I also don`t believe in quick wins. They don`t work for most people. Surely not for me 🙂
The best thing you can do for your career is to invest time and effort in yourself. This is how you add value. This is how you give a great example to your kids. This is how you grow.
MY MISSION:
Help 1000+ women like you get a job that makes them proud and financially independent!
THE BIG QUESTION: Are you sick of your survival job or joblessness? Do you really want a fresh start for yourself and your loved ones?
If the answer is YES then stick around.
It`s time to take action and change your life!
