Background
After being laid off, Joshika felt stressed about money and unsure about her next steps. She had previous experience in marketing and client coordination, along with one year of freelance work in events.
However, after the layoff, she lacked a clear direction for her job search.
She joined MPM on November 5, looking for structure, guidance, and a practical plan to help her return to work as quickly as possible.
What Joshika Liked About the Coaching
The coaching program gave her a clear and structured path. Instead of applying randomly, she learned how to focus on cold emails, intentional networking, and consistent visibility on LinkedIn.
In addition, the resume support was simple and practical, making it easier for her to tailor applications quickly.
Meanwhile, the active community played an important role in keeping her accountable. Mentors responded with care and provided useful guidance. The weekly Q&A calls also helped her think deeper about her strategy and fix small issues quickly.
As a result, she felt more confident and focused in her job search.
Joshika’s Exact Strategy
Instead of relying on random “easy applies,” Joshika focused on a clear and intentional strategy.
First, she chose Events/Experience Lead as her target role.
Then she used the MPM resume draft and tailored each application by editing only the skills and certificates sections.
In addition, she checked job analytics and ATS scores before applying. When the match was around 60–70% or higher, she moved forward with the application.
At the same time, she sent cold emails and focused on building real professional connections. She also followed up with short and clear messages.
Meanwhile, she showed up on LinkedIn every day to stay visible and share her progress.
Finally, she remained active in the MPM community. She posted daily wins and tasks to stay accountable and joined mentor Q&A calls regularly. During those calls, she improved her interview answers and learned what recruiters actually look for.
The Questions She Asked During the Program
Throughout the program, Joshika asked practical questions to improve her approach.
For example, after her first interview, she asked why she had “blabbered” during her answers and how she could stay calm and structured in future interviews.
She also asked how to tailor resumes faster, how to interpret job analytics and ATS scores, and what recruiters truly evaluate beyond the resume.
Additionally, she looked for advice on cold emailing, follow-ups, and how to ask for useful feedback after interviews.
How She Landed the Job
One of the first changes Joshika made was to stop random applications.
Instead, she used the MPM resume template and learned how to tailor it in just a few minutes by editing only the skills and certificate sections.
Next, she began reviewing job analytics and ATS scores before applying. If the match looked reasonable, she submitted the application.
At the same time, she focused heavily on networking. She sent cold emails, built real connections, and stayed active on LinkedIn every day.
However, the journey was not always easy. At one point, she even got the flu, which slowed her down. Fortunately, the community checked in on her and encouraged her to keep going.
Meanwhile, mentor calls helped her improve her interview performance. She learned how to slow down, structure her answers, and communicate with more intention.
Finally, on day 62, she received an offer for a four-month Events Lead role within the marketing team.
The offer included a $15,000–$25,000 contract range for the term. She also negotiated a review after two weeks based on performance, which could move her toward the higher range.
Joshika’s Message to Job Seekers
“I was scared and even thought about going back home if nothing worked.
What helped me most was having a simple plan: be clear, stay consistent, and show up every day.
Fix your resume for each job. Send kind cold emails. Ask for feedback.
Also, find a community that keeps you accountable.
If money is tight, only invest if it truly makes sense for you. But most importantly, be patient and place a fair bet on yourself.
Small steps every day can create big results.”
