Clients EXPLAIN HOW I helped them
“Kaiser Fung’s broad experience from academic to corporate environments makes him unique in the data/analytics field as he can help students assimilate not only all the technical aspects of business intelligence, but also help match their skills and personal style to different aspects of the profession. Kaiser’s insights helped me navigate the complexity and impersonal nature of the job market in order to find the best possible roles to apply for, how to sharpen my skills in order to do the work, and most importantly, how to convince someone else to say yes.”
“At first, I hired a professional resume writer, but he did not sell my technical skills well enough. That’s why I reached out to Kaiser. During the coaching sessions, he asked me about career goals, explained about different data scientist positions, and helped me to highlight skills and experience according to the job description. I felt much more confident with my resume after our meetings.”
“No matter how knowledgeable we think we are with the job application process, we are all saddled with personal biases that blind us to how we present ourselves. You need someone you can trust who can provide relevant, meaningful feedback and Kaiser is that person. He brings valuable insights into the hiring manager’s mindset and will coach you to get appreciable results.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Kaiser as I was preparing to enter the data science job market following a stint in academia. He helped me to translate my academic experiences using an industry perspective and provided critical feedback on my presentation in interviews. His insights are targeted and valuable - I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.”
“Kaiser played a key role in making my job search a successful one. His guidance helped me navigate the Data Science field and create a game plan that suited my experience and skills. Instead of applying to thirty jobs with no success, he guided me to apply to five jobs that fit my skills, which produced three interviews and landed me my career.”
“I really enjoyed working with Kaiser. He really helped me to set realistic goals during my job search. He also explained the realities of the career path I want to get into, and gave me some ideas on how I can proceed forward. We worked on job selection, resume writing, email outreach, and interviewing techniques including case interviews. Working with him kept me grounded and allowed me to select a job that is right for me and my skillset.”
