REVIEWS

Hello Murali, I want to enormously thank you for letting me participate in your “Tips on LinkedIn / Resume” session. I am extremely glad to inform you that after attending just one session on how to fix and upgrade the existing profile, I have been receiving interview calls from the recruiters. Once again thank you so much for all your support and investing time in other people lives to make them successful. I would be delighted to recommend you to all other students who can benefit from your powerful coaching and outstanding presentations.

I would like to thank Murali for his continuous guidance and mentorship to help me build and grow my career in Canada. During my initial days after arriving in Canada he helped me build and improve my resume, LinkedIn and social media presence. He helped me reposition myself to match the needs of the Canadian employers and job market. His technique and strategy helped me bag multiple job offers and I was able to choose the one best suited for myself. Even today, I keep seeking his mentorship and advise to be on the top of the trend, which helped me to get a promotion at my job. Thank you once again Murali for your mentorship and guidance.

As a multicultural Marketing/PR Professional, I attended Murali’s training in sales and marketing twice. I have a very strong feeling this experience has changed my career life forever. He has such sharp eyes which can find best of the best for everything presentation was very interesting. He used many vivid examples to help us understand the concept of personal branding.
