Evgenia energizes people around her with realistic positivity. Her feedback and coaching helped me to make the reality check and to put an actionable plan.

Would highly recommend her as a career coach, especially when you are looking for a truthful feedback and effective methods to achieve your goals.

I would like to thank Evgeniya for the efficient and well-organized team-work. During our consultancy sessions and homework, we have done in-depth market analysis focusing on vacancies suitable specifically for me, therefore, adapting my CV and Cover Letter for the current requirements, as well as forming the best-selling strategies for the upcoming interviews. Already after 4 months, I have received a job offer in the field of my work from an established and well-known company. So right from the beginning of the upcoming year, I start my first job in Germany. The main achievement of our cooperation is not only a job but a whole new outlook on the job-seeking process, with a new search strategy that can be implemented at any time

I was waiting for the annual review to apply the techniques you shared during the salary negotiation seminar and write feedback afterward. So, today was the review, and here are the results:
I took control of the meeting, prepared a presentation where I outlined Results & Achievements in the role / What value could I bring to the company / What areas to progress. It turned out much more structured and clear than our standard formal review questionnaire. I believe I presented my achievements much better this way.
I was offered a new salary just 1K below the lower limit of my expectations. Before, I would have just accepted it, but this time, I used a prepared phrase you shared at the seminar and raised the question of how we could move closer to the market salary level for my position.
As a result, I was able to communicate my vision to management, and we developed a plan to move in that direction. The fear of salary negotiations disappeared, and the meeting turned out to be professional and productive. I’m very grateful for that seminar—otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to raise this issue, not knowing how to approach it.
The investment has paid off many times over.
ELENA S.
Head of Sales, France
Thank you for the materials, I’ve started working on them.
I’ve been thinking a lot about your questions, and gradually, answers and a clearer understanding of what I want now and in 5/10 years are starting to come.

Thank you for this first consultation — it really helped me break free from a deadlock and start asking myself uncomfortable but necessary questions.
I will thoroughly work through all the aspects, analyze the results, and get back to you for further work.

I turned to Evgeniya after several months of unsuccessful job applications in marketing and sales. By that time, I had sent out my resume to over 300 job postings and had a negative experience working with a German career consultant.

Evgeniya conducted a comprehensive assessment of the documents I had been using for my applications and thoroughly examined my experience and priorities in the job search. Together, we developed a new strategy for finding and applying to relevant positions.

Thanks to our collaboration, I received my first job offer in Germany. I am happy to recommend Evgeniya Akulova as a professional in career consulting and professional adaptation, with a deep understanding of working with Russian-speaking specialists.

Evgeniya, thank you for your consultations and analysis of my strengths and weaknesses, as well as for the training on key aspects of interview preparation.

I landed a new job on my first try and successfully passed all interview stages with ease! The consultations helped me define the right direction and develop an initial career strategy in Germany. Your personalized approach and comprehensive analysis helped me focus on what truly matters.

I will gladly recommend your services.

Working with Evgeniya helped me in two key ways.

First, it was incredibly valuable to see myself through someone else’s eyes—especially when you’re sitting at home alone, starting to feel like no one needs you. This gave me a boost of confidence and improved my self-esteem.

Second, it was extremely helpful to understand the rules of a new job market. Evgeniya’s advice during the contract negotiation stage was worth its weight in gold! :) When you understand the employer’s interests, risks, and constraints, you begin to speak a different language—one that affects both how new colleagues perceive you and even your salary. :)

Beyond her professional expertise, you also receive a personal approach, almost immediate responses to your requests, and a sense of support that stays with you throughout the challenging negotiation process.

I received two job offers after just two hours of consultations with Evgeniya, and I am absolutely convinced that this was one of the best investments I could make in myself during a time of uncertainty and doubt that many of us face in a new country.

Thank you so much!

The job search was truly a challenge for me.

First, it was the first time in my life that I approached it intentionally. Previously, jobs somehow found me on their own, but this time, it was all serious: no network, sending out resumes, interviews, and so on.

Second, I’m a foreigner—the realities of the local job market weren’t entirely clear to me, and my German was far from perfect.

Third, I had tight deadlines since I didn’t want to lose my eligibility for the *Blaue Karte* (Blue Card); I needed to find a job within three months.

Finally, on a personal level, I wanted to shift my specialization a bit—move away from marketing and advertising and head more toward data and analytics.

I believe I succeeded. And although, due to peculiar German regulations, my position is officially titled *Leiterin des Digitales Marketings* (Head of Digital Marketing), in reality, I’m performing the role of *Head of Data* for a major German real estate project. (And that wasn’t even the only offer I received!)

Evgeniya Beba-Akulova was a tremendous help in this journey. In just a few sessions, she explained what needed to be done before writing a resume, how to craft the resume itself, how to present myself in interviews, and more.

If you’re considering relocation (and who isn’t?), it’s definitely worth having a conversation with Evgeniya about the DACH region.


The session with Evgeniya was incredibly motivating and goal-oriented!

First, it made me reflect on my career development and visualize my next steps.
Second, it helped me understand my strengths and, even more importantly, my weaknesses, allowing me to set clear priorities.
Third, it was valuable to receive constructive criticism and confront facts I had been trying to "hide" from myself.
All in all, no matter how you look at it—it was undoubtedly beneficial!
Katja Alexandrov

Evgeniya is a true *Glücksbringer* (good luck charm) when it comes to interviews.

A huge thank you for the detailed and thorough consultation. I was able to tailor my resume to fit the desired position and present it in a much stronger light.

Together with Evgeniya, we developed a clear strategy and tackled the trickiest interview questions.

The result: I passed the interview with confidence!

Thank you again for your invaluable support.

Evgeniya is an outstanding specialist in recruitment, and thanks to her, I was able to take an important next step in my career.

She not only helped me better showcase my knowledge and experience but also developed an interview strategy that led to the marketing director of one of the largest international companies selecting me for the position.

Given her level of dedication and deep understanding of psychology, Evgeniya is undoubtedly a lucky find for both employers and job seekers.

Zhenya, I am very grateful to you for your professionalism, responsiveness, and support!

I found a job just three weeks after arriving in a new country, and Evgeniya’s consultations were incredibly helpful. She supported me through every stage of interview preparation, explained employment processes, laws, and regulations, as well as unwritten corporate rules and politics.

Evgeniya is always available, responds quickly and competently, and, it seems to me, switches between English, Russian, and German at lightning speed.
Dima B.
Sales Director, IT
Thanks to Evgeniya, I found a job in Germany after just three months of working together.

What sets Evgeniya’s approach apart is that she doesn’t dictate rules of behavior. Instead, with her deep understanding of the differences between the Russian-speaking and German job markets, she helps adapt existing experience and documents for successful application in Germany.

She also helps develop the right job search strategy based on the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses.

Evgeniya, thank you so much for your help with my resume and cover letter!

I’m very satisfied. Gaining an outside perspective is incredibly valuable—especially when it comes from a professional eye.

It was fascinating to hear what conclusions a recruiter draws when looking at my resume. It immediately became clear what was written incorrectly, what needed to be added, removed, or changed. The same went for the cover letter—I initially thought it should focus on completely different things. :)

Evgeniya and I discussed everything in detail, and afterward, I spent a long time revising my documents. When I sent them back for review, Evgeniya still found plenty of areas for improvement and clarification.

In the end, my resume highlights the skills and experience truly relevant to the desired position, with a focus on what the employer is looking for. The cover letter also took on a completely different form from what it initially was.

I’m very satisfied. The knowledge and support I received were incredibly valuable! Thank you so much!

I highly recommend Evgeniya as a top-level specialist in job search and career management.

From the very first session, after a brief interview, we thoroughly revamped my resume. The main focus shifted from daily responsibilities to results, their measurability, and their impact on company performance. The difference between my initial version, which I had been sending out to companies, and the revised version is incomparable.

The knowledge and experience I gained were truly unique—and, importantly, achieved in just a few sessions with Evgeniya. We also reworked my cover letter and developed a networking strategy for social media.

The best proof of the effectiveness of this work is my successful job search in Germany and my upcoming relocation. What’s more, it all happened much faster than I had expected.
Natalia E.

I had been searching for a job for a long time. It was only during my consultations with Evgeniya that I realized why the process had taken so long: I lacked confidence in myself whenever the job description didn’t fully match my resume profile.
Evgeniya truly opened my eyes to my own potential. After just a few conversations, I was able to believe in myself and broaden the range of roles I felt qualified to apply for. I learned how to rewrite my resume, highlighting the right points for each specific position.
Of course, this required time and discipline, but it paid off: soon, I’ll be starting a global role at an international company — with a salary increase!
Sophia Gorlova

I turned to Evgeniya during the time I was pursuing my academic degree. I was genuinely surprised by her willingness to assist someone with an unconventional request and an academic career background.

During the consultation, she clearly and simply laid out a step-by-step plan for the upcoming months, which also included necessary personal development work—something I truly appreciated.

I highly recommend reaching out—it will definitely help!

Dear Evgeniya,

I want to thank you for your professional work and the tremendous contribution you make to the career growth of every client.

In just a few consultations with you, I gained a clear understanding of my market value in the German job market, where I want to work, what I want to do—and, most importantly, what I don’t want to do.

Thanks to your support, I successfully completed all the tasks during the selection process for one of the LVMH group brands in Munich. During my job search, I also secured a 15% salary increase in my current position. Without your help, knowledge, and expert guidance, I would never have reached such heights.

I want to compare you to a ship’s captain steering through a storm in the open ocean of German career challenges.

Thank you so much! I share your contact with everyone who is looking for a job, afraid to negotiate a raise with their current employer, or simply feeling lost in the job market.

Sincerely,
Natalia

I want to thank Evgeniya for an excellent job search training session!

After just three hours with Evgeniya, my mind was clear and structured, my phone was filled with plans and ideas, and my soul was filled with confidence and the realization that I have a unique place in the vast infrastructure of an entire country! What can I say… simply brilliant!

Honestly, I now truly don’t understand why anyone would spend years reinventing the wheel when there are professionals like career consultants out there.

And with Evgeniya… it’s not about the price. She is worth every future year of your career, every ounce of confidence, every nerve saved, and every inner anchor you build. She’s worth even more—helping you dream bigger, aim higher, and set truly ambitious goals. Even more ambitious. She inspires you to pull the best version of yourself out from within.

The magic pill does exist—it's us! We are all incredibly unique (we just don’t know it yet!).

With Evgeniya’s energy, it’s absolutely possible to reach a whole new level!

Thank you for the meeting and the connection!

Evgeniya is a true professional in her field. She helped me navigate the German job market, provided recommendations on preparing the necessary documents, and assisted in getting ready for interviews—plus, she offered much-needed moral support throughout the entire process.

What I especially value is Evgeniya’s completely non-directive, coaching-based approach, which empowers clients to feel confident in a "foreign" market and gain unexpected insights.

I particularly recommend Evgeniya’s services for professionals outside the IT sector.

Evgeniya, you are a talented coach—you break everything down clearly and systematically, providing tools to help me understand what I truly want. You are also a great motivator, offering a complete and realistic picture of the job market and the processes involved in finding oneself and the right company.

And beyond that, you’re simply a wonderful person. I’m glad to have met you and to have had the opportunity for such an engaging collaboration.
I would recommend Evgeniya to anyone who is looking for a qualified and professional coach. Even if I didnt have a well formulated request at the begining, we have managed to find the exact areas that needed work and improvement and gradually I have implemented very few adjustments to my behavior that made a big difference, making my life fuller and happier. If we are talking about facts and not perceptions, I have to thank Evgeniya for helping me to find motivation to look for a new job, and successfully change it. what I appreciate most about Evgeniya is that she manages to be non invasive and respectful, remaining honest and extremely frank.
Highly recommend Evgeniya Beba-Akulova. Her assistance was instrumental in my successful transition to the chosen industry. Her expertise in showcasing value through CV and LinkedIn profile, combined with excellent interview prep and guidance through successful offer negotiations, was priceless. Grateful for her invaluable support.
Evgeniya has been very helpful in giving me guidance for my career developement as well as self-assessment, which is why I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for career consulting. I would like to thank her for her great coaching sessions and all her valuable pieces of advice she shared with me.
Evgeniya opened up a new world of active Linked life and connections to me. Thanks to her consultation, I was able to analyze and change my profile and start more active positioning in Linkein platform. I highly recommend working with Evgeniya if you are looking for a new job or changing career.
I can recommend Evgeniya as a very experienced career consultant. She knows very well the topic from both sides, as a recruiter and as career consultant. She knows the market, culture, salary ranges. I appreciate her attitude. She was creative and agile. Her answers were always concrete and structured. If you interested in development your international career, I definitely can recommend Evgeniya as a career consultant.
Stepan Sokol
In my career I ran a lot of interviews and always knew what to ask and expect from an applicant. However, my looking for a job in Germany changed the situation, as far as my previous experience was connected with other business culture and was not enough. I regret I had not contacted Evgenya before I started looking for a new job. That would definitely save a lot of time and nerves. Having an opportunity to look at oneself "from a side" is priceless and absolutely needed. I recommend Evgeniya as a career consultant if you want to achieve your ambitious career goals abroad.
I want to say thanks to Evgeniya for a valuable and thorough consultation! Your support, experience and knowledge have helped me take the next step in my career. You are a high-level specialist who clearly knows how to help candidates achieve professional goals. Thanks again and look forward to working together in the future!
