Sport has always been an area closely connected to my work through The Career Success Strategist .

Alongside career development consulting, I often have conversations with organisations and professionals exploring global sport pathways, international sport partnerships, and athlete career transitions.

It’s always interesting to see how sport, education, and international career development intersect.

If you’ve ever left a job interview in Australia thinking:
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Was it my English?”
“Was I not confident enough?”

Most international job seekers aren’t failing interviews because of their accent or background — it’s usually a few communication habits no one ever explains.

When I first came to Australia, I wasn’t sure whether to use my English name or my real name on my resume.

I made a short video to share what I’ve learned working with students and graduates on this exact topic — what Australian employers actually think, and how you can make the choice that feels right for you.
