Success stories

I was in a long-term job in a big corporation what I realized I needed a career “push”. So, I started researching and contemplating. Should I change the company? Or do a career shift? Start my own project?

I shared my struggle with friends and got recommendation for a career coach – Tedy. I have to admit I was quite skeptical at first – how can anyone know what I need better than I do? I impulsively decided to face my fears and call her. I use the term “face my fears”, because calling a coach meant I had to admit I needed help, I needed my “push” and boy – did she give me a push.

I didn’t know how to best put my situation in words, but she sensed what I needed and decided to approach me through my human design. We did a complete human design coaching course, which completely matched my essence and temperament. Her advice and recommendations brought a new perspective to who I am, what brings satisfaction and meaning to my life.

In-depth analytical sessions including accurate guidance, strengths and receptors are only part of the way we walked through together, and I sincerely thank her for her time and effort, depth and energy. I strongly believe that people like Tedy can reach these hidden parts of us, which – with time and circumstances, we have chosen to neglect and compromise with. I believe this, because this is exactly what happened to me working with Tedy and I believe that each of us needs someone like her in our lives. Someone who will help us to look deep, get to know who we are, how do we engage with the world and make decisions, and to focus our energy.

Tedy, be healthy, energetic, and strong to inspire non-believers like myself and guide them in the right direction.  And to Tedy’s clients – listen to her guidance and you will find your professional Zen.

Dear Tedy, you are an inspiration!

After a few job interviews for big brands and unsuccessful attempts to find a satisfying career path, I decided I needed a professional career consultant. I had to choose a good consultant or coach, someone who would help me figure out my next step and grow. There are a lot of career coaches on the market, I did my research and chose Teodora.

We did three coaching sessions online and – with the focused discussions, the right questions, and the valuable ideas – we identified a few potential career paths. To get the maximum from a career coaching relationship, you need to show initiative, desire for growth and to be open build a trusted relationship with your career coach.

The coaching process is an investment that is pays off in the form of self-knowledge, new opportunities, and positions. When you are at professional crossroads, be authentic, sincere, and open, so that the career coach can do their magic – provoke you out of your comfort zone and into exploration and change.

Thank you, Teodora! The results are already showing.

I needed career advice and I am so happy I found Tedy! We did life purpose coaching and managed to clarify a career objective for me. Based on these findings, Tedy created a wonderful CV – a CV, which I – despite all the reading and the use of specialized software, couldn’t do on my own. She focused on my strengths and presented them in a way relevant to my goal.

After I started applying, I received a few job interview invites and we did a 3-hour interview preparation session. I’ve been to many interviews and I can tell you – it’s very different when a professional guides you and helps you design your answers so that you can stand out. After less than 2 months on the job market, I found my place!

Tedy is an incredible professional, pours heart and soul in what she does and this always makes a difference.

I would recommend her to all of you who are on the search for your true selves and your purpose, who need a CV that shines, and who are not sure how to handle difficult and misleading interview questions.

Thank you, Tedy! I am very grateful.

I met Tedy when I had lost my professional identity, and part of myself with it, after a long time working at the same place. I had a pressing need for change – direction, location, environment, everything I was surrounded by – career wise. After only a few coaching sessions, Tedy and I not only managed to identify my new career goal, but we also created a plan on how to approach my new objective.

Tedy created an outstanding CV and in a field that was far from her professional experience. I was invited for interviews to almost every advertisement I applied to, I even started to decline interview invitations at one point. I received quite a few job offers, but this is when I faced the market reality – the salaries in the sector I wanted to contribute were very low and I couldn’t move ahead. I suffered through that realization and we made the necessary changes to my next career step.

Tedy was also of great help with the new goal – we created plan B and decided to utilize competences and experience I already had. Then, Tedy created the CV to match the plan B. I’ve had 2 interviews that resulted in 2 job offers.

Actually, even though I have concluded my job search process, I don’t think I have concluded my relationship with Tedy – I will use her services again, because she has super valuable ideas, she is flexible and resourceful and puts her heart and brains in everything she does.

Thank you, Tedy!

See you soon!

After more than a year of unsuccessful attempts to find my next career challenge, I realized I needed a professional career coach. A friend of mine recommended Tedy Lilova and I contacted her.

We did a short course of 3 coaching sessions, which brought back my motivation and clarified my direction. Throughout the job search support processes, she guided me to apply for a consulting position, which I would have never considered. She prepared an inspirational motivation letter and assisted me with the job interview. I completed the interview processes and received a job offer.

I am extremely happy and grateful to Tedy for the support, motivation, and guidance. I would not have achieved my professional goal without her. She is a wonderful, positive person, an experienced professional, a psychologist with valuable judgement, providing helpful advice and specific guidance for all positions and career areas.

I highly recommend her to everybody who would like to change their career paths and at the same time not waste time and faith in their abilities trying to cope by themselves given we have Tedy – a wonderful spiritual and professional mentor always ready to provide her invaluable help.

Tedy, I am extremely grateful, I almost lost faith that I will achieve my goals. You brought back the joy, motivation, and the sense of purpose in my professional life.

Professionally, I’ve had the honor of meeting Tedy twice. The first time was in Sofiyska voda where Tedy was a Client Services manager. If I must describe Tedy with one word it would be “assertive”. I learned this concept on one of the many professional trainings we attended and since then when I hear assertive, I think of Tedy. She is someone who can stand up for herself and reach her goals. This was the quality that brought me back to her after 15 years of professional experience with one employer.

After I quit my job, I was at career crossroads I never experienced before. I didn’t have a proper CV and even worse – I haven’t used the CV I’ve had, because I have never applied to a job opportunity outside of my 15-year career. Not to mention motivation letters and other job search related documents. Now what?! I thought of Tedy – I knew she is a career coach and I placed my trust with her.

Tedy helped me not only with the document preparation, but she also advised me on my future career direction and the job search process. In my opinion, she offers a unique service, a service you can’t get anywhere else. There are numerous recruitment agencies that take your application, promise you 101 things and, in most cases, don’t deliver.

Tedy’s approach is tailored to the individual needs of each of her clients. Her most valuable contribution is that she manages to zoom in on the most important and relevant professional skills and achievements. She advises and assists in every step of the job search process: document preparation, suitable positions selection, application, interview preparation, lessons learned, and follow-up action plans.

If you are looking for a new professional opportunity and don’t know how to prepare in the best possible way, Tedy is your person – she knows. Enjoy the journey!

At a point in my career where I have been doing what I liked for quite some time, I decided I needed career change. I started looking at job ads and realized that the interview invitations and job offers were similar to my current role and I wanted something different. Then, I “accidentally” read a success story of a person whom Tedy consulted and decided I would contact her for professional guidance.

We did a career coaching course and the 2 different personality tests and their analysis turned out to be the most important for me. Discussing the test results, I was further convinced that the next career step would be suitable and satisfactory for me. Tedy made me think not only about my skills and experience, but also about my personal qualities and interests and how to emphasize on them.

As a result, she changed the structure of my CV to focus on the relevant experience for my new career field. Experience I had acquired more than 10 years ago. With the tailored motivation letter Tedy put together, I began to proactively seek out opportunities, as well as to apply for open positions. Within a month, I received a job offer that matched my criteria and accepted it. The resourceful ideas and non-standard options for discovering new opportunities Teddy suggested made me feel relaxed and confident during the change process.

I recommend Teddy as a career consultant and coach to everyone who wants a professional change and needs to confirm “their place” and the needed guidance to get to it. I am confident that using Tedy’s individual approach, expert skills, and up-to-date information on different industries and companies, you will make it faster and easier to your career goal.

I made a quick decision that I would like to change my job after 10 years in the same company. I didn’t know Tedy personally, but knew about her career coaching services and decided to get in touch.

She created me a CV for the company and the position I wanted to apply for focusing on my strengths. Two days after applying, I’ve had a phone interview, followed by an invitation for a personal interview. Tedy responded on a very short notice, prepared me for the interview, supported me and believed in me at a time I didn’t believe in myself.

In a month, I start in my dream company!

Thank you, Tedy.

I reached out to Tedy at a personal and professional crossroad. It was hard for me to redefine my career path and to connect it meaningfully to my personal life.

After many spent in one organization, my head was full of questions – where to now. Change is difficult and even though I consider myself capable and goal-oriented, I needed a push in the right direction. Tedy was gave me exactly what I needed.

I got in touch with her and provided somewhat disorganized explanations as to what I am looking for – or what I thought I was looking for. She managed to comprehend the important points and we started working on specific ideas and actions.

For a very short period – 4 coaching sessions – we had established the foundation and launched the search process. I enjoyed quick results, because – as a result of the conversations, analysis and consultations with Tedy – I was able to aim right and to avoid the multiple sampling errors.

Tedy – I would like to thank you once again for the time, the tailored approach, and the engaging way with which you make your coaching partner do the necessary soul searching and answer the important questions. On top of being a true professional, you are also a wonderful person – always ready to listen, empathize, advise, and coach.

I got in touch with Tedy, because I needed a career consultation. Even though my professional experience was quite rich and diverse, it lacked focus and clarity regarding my next career step. I was impressed with the number of ways Tedy was able to assist me – from coaching sessions, through CV preparation, and support with the job application process. The most valuable component, though, was the personal touch – that feeling that someone is personally engaged with your success. This is what the name of the service stands for: PersonalHR – a professional who is on your side throughout the career shift or the job hunting adventure.

We started the process with coaching sessions that helped us clarify my professional focus. Based on the sessions’ outcome, Tedy prepared a focused strengths-based CV. Then, her broad network and recommendations came into play. As a result, I rather quickly managed to get a job offer in one of my target companies.

I am very grateful for Tedy’s support and I am glad that I can count on her if I need career coaching in the future.

Good luck, Tedy!

When the time comes to get your career to the next level, i.e. senior/executive management, you need to stop and reflect first. I was in similar situation recently, but went straight ahead with overconfidence. After a major failure to secure a top position that I thought was tailored for me and for which I was certain I was going to be down-selected (I am so great, you know), I was forced to do that reflection. What did I go wrong? Well, I failed to answer that question, so I followed the advice of wiser people and contacted Tedy, who was highly recommended to me.

After one call and two emails we had a road map on how to tackle my problems (yes, she had already pinpointed several of them) Destiny, as usual, came up with a different plan and I was contacted for an interview before we started executing the road map. With just a couple of days heads up, we met with Tedy for an interview preparation. She did her homework very well, even on a very short notice – just one day, and had dissected the case into such detail! That is how good she is.

At the meeting we went systematically through all aspects of the job, potential interview traps and pitfalls, my strengths and weaknesses, but most importantly we did a complete rehearsal with invaluable feedback from her.

I cannot recommend enough how important it is to calibrate yourself with a career consultant, especially if you have not been to interviews recently and even more importantly – if you are aiming to a higher level compared with you current position.  I cannot think of a better career coach than Tedy. It is an investment that pays off in no time and has a lasting effect.

Tedy and I met via a common acquaintance when I was in search of my next professional challenge. After a few discussions about my application documents and career goals, we defined the potential development areas and devised a strategy on how to approach them. She helped me with the relevant positions and companies selection as well as with personal recommendations to her broad network. Tedy’s approach is dedicated and fully compliant both with my requirements and capabilities as well as with the condition of the labor market.

Thanks to her professionalism, responsiveness, and contact network, in short time – we achieved tangible results. I am impressed with her creative approach – characterized by individual analysis of her clients’ competencies and the intersection with the actual opportunities, as well as with her open and friendly communication manner.

I would recommend Tedy’s expertise, commitment, and support to everyone in search of career change or career development.
