While | was transitioning careers in order to land an executive job in New York. First off, Isabelita is a force of nature: always available, upbeat, reliable and on point. As an adviser, coach & mentor, she is strict but fair (the best you could ask for, really!) and always looking out for you and for your best outcome. Isa is a font of knowledge on job hunting strategies, Linkedin profile optimization, and effective communication during interviews and offer negotiations, Isabelita is probably the best friendly professional for executive career changes and transitions, with plenty of tips and recommendations about headhunters' mindset. Last but not least, Isabelita has an innate and relentless propensity for networking, introducing professionals every day, always with a smile on her face!

I had the pleasure to meet and get services from Isabelita. She really knows the UAE market and has done an extensive research to deliver an effective and personalized strategy. Isabelita examined my CV, LinkedIn profile and we had a 1-on-1 consulting session via Skype. She took her time to understand where I am coming from, areas of strength/expertise, and my goals for UAE.

What readers say about the Book
There are no sufficient words to comment on your book other than "wonderful, complete and simple". Wonderful as you can't get away from it, simply because your writing style has some music. It plays heart to heart. Complete, as I find everything I'm looking for to achieve my target "being hired". Simple in language and structure. Congratulations, I was amazed by reading it.

I would really recommend the book written by Isabelita as it highlights some of the hidden aspects any job seeker wouldn't think about; especially being in a fast-paced and challenging city. The book opens your eyes to how a jobseeker and even working professionals on how to present themselves to the external society. It is an interesting book that would add value from an educational perspective and that would be beneficial to add to your own library! Simply, this book is highly recommended!

Her book that I have just started reading is the perfect Bible for job seekers looking to work in Dubai. It's so unique and delivers real-time solutions that work across any industry and for professionals across levels. The book is a must-have and once you start reading it, it's hard to put down.
