I would like to say a huge thank you to Munisa for the consultation! Not so often I get to leave a review, let alone such a long one, but this time I could not resist. To be honest, I didn’t expect that consultations could be so effective and would tremendously help to make my choice in terms of further career development!
During the consultation, we discussed two options for a career path: 1) to continue to develop in my current role, aiming at promotion in the medium term, 2) to move to another department for an open position, thus expanding my specialization.
After talking with Munisa, I managed to sort everything out, set priorities, draw up a plan and prepare for meetings with the boss and the head of another department, clearly define goals. Thanks to Munisa, for the first time in my life, I was able to confidently initiate a conversation about a promotion, as well as discuss specific development options with my boss. Moreover, Munisa’s subsequent advice helped gain more confidence in negotiations, job opening discussion and even ‘self-promotion’ (when appropriate, of course).
