Anna Naumova

Career expert in the USA

I came to Anna because I felt stuck and couldn’t decide what direction to choose: business or sales. What I liked is that she asked very simple, but powerful questions. They helped me see things more clearly and understand what I actually want. After the sessions, I feel less confused. I understand that I don’t need to have a perfect plan. I need to try, take action, and see what works. One of my biggest insights is: stop overthinking and start doing. Also, don’t put too much energy into fears. Just move step by step. Now I feel more calm and more confident about exploring new directions.

When I met Anna, I was completely burned out and feeling stuck in my career. For years, I kept saying I wanted to find a new job, but in reality I wasn’t taking any real steps toward it.

I reached out to Anya together with my daughter (currently in 11th grade). We wanted to make sure that the direction she had chosen really felt right for her. Anya had her complete several tests, and then my daughter had a one-on-one online session with her to go through the results and discuss everything in more depth. She came away from the session with new insights, a lot to think about, and a much stronger sense of confidence in the path she had chosen. When it comes to teenagers, sometimes they need to hear a perspective from someone outside the family, not just from their parents. Anya has a real gift for helping bring clarity to complicated situations. Thank you so much, Anya!

Anna created a very comfortable and thoughtful space during our sessions. Many times, I found myself answering my own questions and finally understanding why I had been feeling and acting the way I did. Sometimes I even felt resistance before the sessions, but afterward I was always glad I went because I learned something new about myself every single time.

Little by little, everything started to make sense in my head. Once that happened, I finally started taking real action, and it took less than a month from actively searching to getting a job offer.

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need help organizing your thoughts and understanding yourself better, I truly believe Anna can help.

I was looking for a PHP Developer job for 2 years, but nothing worked out. I had many interviews, but I never got past the first round. When I started working with Anna, the first thing we changed was my resume. It started looking so professional and expensive that I wanted to hire myself. After that, I started applying for jobs again. After every interview, Anna and I reviewed my mistakes and discussed what I should focus on. Anna explains everything very clearly, and it feels very comfortable to work with her, like we have known each other for 10 years already. I never had any misunderstandings or negative experiences. I always got support, advice, and honest feedback from her. Sometimes I had moments of panic and hopelessness during my job search, and Anna even helped me through that. After our conversations, my confidence always came back very quickly. From the very first day, I started talking with many companies, and eventually I reached the final rounds with two of them. One company gave me an offer after only a month and a half of searching. I honestly could not believe it felt like it was happening to someone else, not me. After I received the offer, Anna also helped me prepare a very strong counteroffer, which improved my conditions even more. Now I have already been working at the company for a month and a half, and I am very happy with my decision and with choosing to work with Anna. It was one of the best investments in my future!

I’m thrilled with how the sessions with Anna are going. It’s fascinating to explore myself, understand my triggers, and learn how to manage them so I don’t get manipulated. The knowledge and insights I’ve gained from our sessions are having a positive impact on my relationships with loved ones and colleagues because I can clearly set my boundaries, assess a person, and understand how I should behave and react to situations. It’s great that Anya gives homework assignments with questions that stump me but help me dig deeper into myself. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I want to thank you once again for our sessions! I’ve gotten to know myself better and gained insight into the reasons behind my actions. I’ve noticed some recurring patterns and realized that every personal trait always has two sides. It was interesting to see how my strengths can sometimes have a negative impact on me, while my weaknesses can act as a safeguard.

Anna, thank you so much for helping me through one of the most important career transitions of my life. When we started, I had ambition, but also a lot of chaos: Big Tech, relocation, visas, interviews, offers, and negotiations. I had strong technical experience, but I did not yet know how to present it clearly for senior-level interviews or how to manage several hiring processes at the same time. You helped me turn that uncertainty into a plan. We worked on my CV, LinkedIn, self-presentation, behavioral stories, recruiter communication, negotiation, contract questions, and long-term career strategy. As a result, I negotiated and accepted a much stronger offer, relocated to the Netherlands, and moved into a new career stage. It changed my trajectory and gave me much more confidence in my future. Thank you for your patience, practical support, and belief in me.
