“I had been sending the same CV to every hotel in North Rhine-Westphalia. The consultation forced me to pick front-desk roles I could actually reach by train and rewrite three bullets so managers could see my guest-recovery work. I still found the follow-up email short — I wanted more samples — but the four-week plan was clear enough to follow on my own.”

“I expected a pep talk. Instead we spent most of the hour on physical demands, early shifts, and which of my shop-floor habits transfer. The written shortlist included one role I would have ignored — and that is the one that invited me in.”
