What They Say
Kevin S.
Supply Chain Director
Before starting the program with you, I massively applied online several months without any success.
Once we started the program, I got my first interviews 2 weeks after the beginning, and I got around 25 interviews during the program. Knowing my potential visa and with a strong visa pitch preparation, I finally got my job as a Supply Chain Director!

Alicia S.
Quality Safety Environment Manager
I searched for 3 months, a job in California by myself without success until I enrolled to the program and job board. Sarah’s advice and thoroughness quickly helped me find my trainee in 4 months under a J-1 trainee.

Amandine P.
Supply Chain Director
I have long sought quality advice to move to the US, and Sarah made such a big difference because she has real field experience. She knows the reality, and her mentoring is effective because it is based on real facts and was also very practical. Her help and expertise helped me throughout the research process. I highly recommend working with her if you want to reach your expatriation goal.
