"I reached out to Mr Viet Anh when I only had a year and a half left on my PSW visa, and he was very careful and selective about taking me on as a mentee. That immediately made me trust him, because he was able to tailor a job application strategy that truly matched my career direction.

He helped me refine my CV, prepare a detailed cover letter bank, identify which jobs I should “go all in” on and which ones weren’t worth spending too much time applying for, and pushed me to create a portfolio in a variety of creative formats.

Viet Anh has a lot of insights into the education sector. Before my interview, he helped revise my presentation in a way he knew Leeds Beckett would be looking for in a candidate, and I believe that really helped me secure the job.

Beyond his dedication to his mentees (he always replies quickly, even though I’m in the UK and he’s in Vietnam), I truly felt his strong determination towards his goals and his work ethic, which has inspired me a great deal in my own career. Thank you, Viet Anh, for helping me “snatch” a job at a time when the UK job market is incredibly competitive. 😍"
