“There couldn’t be a better opportunity to progress my career in one of the most competitive cities in the world”

- Mia


Mia first visited New York City in 2016 on a school trip. Like so many Aussies experience, she immediately fell in love with NY. She felt that magnetic energy and knew she wanted to live there one day. 

“There couldn’t be a better opportunity to progress my career in one of the most competitive cities in the world” shared Mia.  She moved to NY for both a personal and career standpoint. 

Mia started her job search from Australia alongside her partner. They would commit a couple of hours after work to apply to jobs and network.

“Only after completing Supercharge Your Search did we start seeing success” said Mia. 

“Before the course we were doing the typical applying for jobs online and getting nowhere. After the course we had learned invaluable networking skills. We couldn't believe the replies, traction and results we were getting” shared Mia

Upon having so much success from Australia, Mia and her partner decided to book a long holiday to NYC. They explored the city and met their new connections face to face.

They ended up interviewing and had great success. They knew how to explain the E-3 visa in the best ways, the "Aussie Recruit way" as Mia said.

“If you want it to happen bad enough, you'll make it work. There were many times I thought I was at a dead end, needing to give up. But one LinkedIn message or in-person connection would change everything. Don't underestimate the power of meeting people and forming relationships. You’ve also got to interview well. Amy has incredible resources that we used to stand out in the US jobs market.” - Mia

We’re honored to have supported Mia with her US job search!

“Aussie Recruit is the reason I got my job in New York. Supercharge Your Search taught me everything about networking and strengthening my LinkedIn. It gave me confidence to interview in the US. Even if I didn't make it, I knew I'd walk away with strong job searching skills."

Last but not least, we asked Mia what she will miss most about Australia.

“The beach and my family!”
