Success stories

Tedy is a super positive person!

I was at professional crossroads – I haven’t been on the job market in approximately 10 years and I definitely needed career counseling. There are numerous recruitment companies in Sofia, but I couldn’t picture recruiters giving me advice on how to structure my CV or how to behave during an interview. At that point, a friend of mine recommended Tedy. I immediately loved the idea, it was just what I needed – my own career consultant, with tailored approach and personal attention.

Tedy managed my case very professionally – showed me how to present myself on a job interview, focused my energy and attention on the essential components of my professional experience, and put together a great CV and cover letters when I needed them. She supported me throughout the entire job search process and I felt like I was talking to a friend.

The results quickly followed! I am soon starting a new job, which for me – is a great challenge and accomplishment. If I need career consultation services in the future, I would definitely reach out to Tedy again.

Tedy, thank you!

I was reluctant at first, but then I pulled myself together and wrote an email with a few words about me. Tedy called the next day and I needed just 2 minutes to realize I did the right thing trusting her. She gave me very useful advice regarding my priorities and focus.

A few days later we met for an interview preparation – we did a role play, discussed frequently asked questions, as well as topics that were challenging for me, and agreed on the answers. Following up the preparation meeting, I received a long summary document including general recommendations and a questions and answers section. The output was in English as my interviews were scheduled with non-Bulgarian speakers.

The results quickly followed. I attended 4 interviews, received 2 job offers, and I start my new career at the beginning of 2016. Pretty great, isn’t it?

I reached out to Tedy when my professional life was at impasse. I wanted not only to change the company, but also the focus and the industry.

Tedy approached my case with individual care and attention and agreed to assist me. She created a coaching class, which helped me evaluate my talents and strengths, to clarify my professional goals, and to make a plan how to achieve them. Following up on the coaching sessions, Tedy created a professional CV for me and guided me through the search and selection process.

After a number of interviews, I received a job offer I couldn’t resist – it was all I was looking for.

Thank you, Tedy, for your professional help and support!

I found Tedy and https://personalhr.eu when I searched for information on how to prepare for a job interview.

At the time, I was working for 6 years at the same company and I had decided I want to try something different. I had a particular job ad in mind – they needed candidates without experience in my newly selected professional area, but with knowledge in my current (at the time). I’ve had almost no experience with job interviews – 3 job interviews 6 years ago.

Tedy helped me with my CV and provided guidance for the job interview.

I’ve had 3 interviews at my target company. Thanks to Tedy’s assistance throughout the entire process, I was prepared and confident. At the end of the process, I received a job offer and accepted.  My team is great, I have the opportunity to travel internationally and to learn new things every day.

After having worked 17 years at the same company, I decided it was time for a change, although I wasn’t sure in what direction. I didn’t know Tedy at the time, found her career consultations website and made a contact. She approached my case with care and attention, always spent the necessary time, and provided valuable feedback with all the details, even (or perhaps especially) the details I didn’t notice. Tedy helped to zoom on my experience and skills and to make a decision on where and how I would like to grow my career.

Tedy created an unusual, perfect CV, focused on my strengths.

Thanks to her contacts network, I started to receive invites for job interviews right after my CV circulated the job market. I started my new job a month after I got in touch with Tedy and with the package I expected.

Responsible, highly professional, committed to the job search process and her clients, considerate, and supportive – I can say only wonderful things about her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs career guidance and consultation.

Tedy and I were colleagues at Adecco and we stayed in each other’s lives after we both left the company. I followed her new projects and I saw her passion in engaging and developing them.

After 1-year maternity leave, when I had to enter the workforce again, I was quite worried and I felt somewhat out of this process. I got in touch with Tedy who was quick to comfort me and boost my confidence that I can cope with all new challenges. She sent my CV to several suitable companies in my professional area and some of them called for an interview. She, then, advised me on the companies and the people I got to meet. Eventually, I received two job offers and Tedy, who knew the two companies well, helped me decide which offer to accept.

I recommend the career consultation services to anyone on the look for a new professional challenge. Teodora is a great, positive person, with lots of knowledge and experience, who will help you achieve your goals and move forward!

I found Teodora online searching for a professional career advice. I have decided I wanted a career shift to recruitment and I didn’t have the needed experience. The lack of experience resulted in very few phone calls from the companies I applied to. The Human Resource management class I signed up for didn’t help me much.

And so, 3 months after my career shift start, I realized I needed a different approach if I wanted to be successful. This was the moment I decided I needed a career consultant and then I found Teodora. Browsing through the services and mostly – reading the recommendations of people with similar challenges to mine whom she managed to help, I knew she was the career consultant I wanted to work with. Meeting her in person further confirmed my choice – Teodora managed to motivate me to tell her about myself and my recruitment ambitions and most importantly – to not give up.  In addition to the confidence she inspired, Teodora created me a CV that put a focus on the skills relevant for a career in recruitment. Moreover, her broad network revealed opportunities that otherwise would have been out of reach for me.

As a result of everything Teodora did for me and the trust she had in my abilities throughout the entire process, the success quickly followed. I was invited to an interview from one of the companies she referred me to and 3 weeks later, received a job offer!

Thank you, Tedy, I know I would not have succeeded without you!

On a fairly normal day while hanging at home, I felt quite confused and unhappy by the fact that I work only for the paycheck and I study yet another specialty that didn’t excite me. It was then I realized I needed a professional career coach to help me find my professional passion. I gradually started researching about career consultations and it was a couple of months until I found the right person whom I could trust with this very important part of my life. I finally decided to make the call to Tedy Lilova. She gave me confidence, not only because she was friendly and approachable, but also because she took notes showing me what I had to say was important. Thank you, Tedinka.

We did several coaching sessions in which, with the help of Tedy, I realized a lot about myself – some things new and some – long forgotten. This is what we achieved:

• Together, we managed to identify several professional opportunities which would utilize my talents and would make my days happier and we created actions plans on how to achieve them.
• Tedy showed me the road to self-knowledge, the importance of self-love and appreciation, and the significance of choosing the right career that not only provides the needed financial resources, but also a spiritual satisfaction.
• Tedy helped me to appreciate the importance of asking the right questions – to yourself and to others.
• She gave me faith and hope that I could be happy as long as I know what I want and fight for it.

I am grateful that Tedy put her heart and soul in helping me, as if she did it for a very close friend. I recommend her to anyone who is on a professional crossroad, has career challenges, or would like to find a meaningful and satisfying career. She helps, because she knows how to inspire you to think and act, creates relationships, and most of all – because she does it with love and dedication.

I turned to Tedy for advice, after having put long hours and effort into a career change and the offers I received were primarily related to my current (at the time) experience.

I read one of her articles, which resonated with me – that the job announcements are as if the companies are using a template, the requirements – as if Supermen are needed, and the focus is placed on the responsibilities and not so much on the skills needed to do the job.

What am I doing wrong? How do I navigate through the IT positions? How to improve my application documents? These were some of the questions Tedy provided professional answers to. In addition, Tedy encouraged me not to give up on my career change plan and on the related positions. She presented my experience with a new angle, so that my application is not automatically rejected on the account of the “n” years of experience, which I didn’t have. She sorted and categorized the appropriate positions for me and used her contacts to help my CV get noticed.

Ultimately, I achieved my objective! Soon, I am starting a new job, on a new position, in a new professional field. Tedy helped me to do this, to focus on the upcoming job applications and interviews and not on the inevitable rejections, and to manage the change process.

I got acquainted with Tedy’s work online, provoked by the need to improve my job seeking performance on the road to  better future. She is my discovery of which I am very proud. I am proud of her, because she exceeded my expectations, supported me throughout the entire process, managed to prepare me and successfully focus my efforts.

I contacted Tedy, because I needed to improve my job interviewing skills. She has a good sense for people and managed to quickly comprehend my specific needs, which eased the preparation process. Her professionalism and experience were of great importance to me, as well as the fact that she managed to zoom on the skills and qualities I needed to achieve my professional goals.

Thank you Tedy! I wish you even more professional success and more happy clients, like me, who have found their calling.

Until I met Teodora, when I needed career advice, I usually shared and consulted with my friends. This approach has always worked for me, but by the time I wanted to change the industry – I got gradually used to the idea that a needed professional touch.

It was then I contacted Teodora Lilova and after our first meeting, I was convinced we would achieve my professional goals together. Turned out – we exceeded them. She helped me focus on a detail in my career that was going to be helpful for the industry switch. She showed me opportunities I wouldn’t have noticed. With this approach, I went through intensive interviewing process, after which I received the job offer I longed for, for my current position.

I am sincerely thankful to Teodora Lilova and I strongly advise anyone who would like to clarify and realize their career development ideas, to get in touch with her and benefit from her services.

In 2005, I met Tedy in the mentoring program at the American University in Bulgaria, which I just started and she recently graduated. Later, we became friends.

At first, she helped me with my class and professor selection and the focus of my Business Administration major, so that I can enjoy and get the most out of my university years.

Later, during the third and fourth years of my studies, we often discussed the pros and cons of the different professional decisions I had to make. Tedy helped me prepare for interviews with information about the specific industry and other success techniques. She even consulted me on the most appropriate attire for the different meetings with potential employers – would a suit be ok or should I wear something more casual for an ad agency interview.

Tedy has the talent to be a career consultant and very sincerely puts her heart in preparing a candidate. I still continue to run my big professional decisions by her.

I recommend her to anyone who needs a personal attitude, a professional example to get inspired by, and thorough support in the job search process.
