From Minimum Wage to HR Director—How Shrey Turned It All Around in 90 Days

Shrey had 9 years of global HR experience—but after moving to Canada, he was stuck.

No job. No clarity. And after a year of rejections and financial pressure, he took a minimum wage labor job just to make ends meet.

Fast forward 90 days after joining my program—he landed his first Canadian HR job… as a Director.

Yes, really. This one gave me goosebumps.

In this episode, we unpack the full journey:
✔️ Why certifications weren’t enough—and what actually worked
✔️ The resume changes that turned silence into 12+ interviews
✔️ The mindset shift that brought his spark and confidence back
✔️ How he turned a short-term contract interview into a director-level offer
✔️ Why group coaching helped him land the job faster than solo searching ever could

This is what happens when strategy meets resilience. If you’ve ever felt behind, underpaid, or overlooked—this episode will shift something in you.

🎧 Press play to hear how he went from frustrated job seeker… to leader at the table.

You’re sending out resumes, getting ghosted, and wondering if anyone is actually hiring right now.

I get it—and that’s exactly why I brought on one of the most honest, heart-led recruiters I know: Pino Addesa, founder of The Staffing Alternative and a 20+ year veteran in the industry. He’s placing candidates every day—and he’s not sugarcoating anything.

In this episode, Pino and I pull back the curtain on the real job market—and how to stand out in a sea of 300+ applicants.

We’re talking:
✔️ What recruiters actually want to see on your resume (and what gets you cut immediately)
✔️ The #1 mistake that breaks trust with hiring teams
✔️ Why most jobs are never even posted (and how to tap into the hidden market)
✔️ How VIDEO helped my client land an offer in 30 days
✔️ Why “spray and pray” is dead—and what to do instead

You’ll walk away from this episode with real clarity, a fresh strategy, and (finally) some honest answers about what’s working right now.
