Are online applications getting me anywhere?
They can swallow your time and energy without telling you what’s working. It’s hard to know where your effort will actually move the needle.

The part of job searching nobody prepares you for
Job hunting can break you down.
You’ve given it everything you’ve got. The process is exhausting mentally, emotionally, and financially. Every morning, you open your inbox hoping today is different. But it’s either another rejection—or worse, nothing at all.
Has anyone even seen my applications?
Pouring your time and energy into application after application only to be met with silence doesn’t just sting. It wears you down.
What if I mess up the interview?
Getting the interview was hard enough, but now the real anxiety kicks in. You’re racing against the clock, second-guessing everything. No matter how much you prep, it never feels like enough.
Am I the only one going through this?
Nobody talks about how lonely job searching really is. The longer it drags on, the heavier it gets. That emotional rollercoaster doesn’t just tire you out—it isolates you.
Less busywork. More focus on what moves the needle.
More interviews. More confidence. A signed offer.
The Tech Job Accelerator gives you a clearer job-search strategy, focused applications, and interview preparation—so “you’re impressive” can become “we’d love to offer you the role.”

A note from Kieu
I’ve been rejected. I’ve been the hiring manager. I know both sides.
Before coaching, I held leadership roles at Google and YouTube, Airbnb, and advised executives at top healthcare and life sciences companies as a management consultant at Deloitte. I’ve seen hiring from the inside, from hypergrowth at Uber and Airbnb to the massive hiring waves at YouTube’s Trust & Safety team during COVID. I’ve reviewed countless resumes, interviewed candidates, and made hiring decisions. It’s safe to say I’ve seen just about every job search mistake there is.
But I didn’t start there. Despite degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Finance, I struggled to get responses, let alone interviews or offers. No network, no mentors—just rejection after rejection. I cried myself to sleep and started questioning myself. Then I realized that everything we knew about job searching was wrong. In an employer’s market, cold applications can feel like trying your luck in Vegas.
I figured out how to position myself differently. I went from getting rejected and ghosted to receiving offers from every top company I set my sights on. I turned what worked into a repeatable system that I now teach my clients.
Today, my clients land better opportunities, make more money, do more intellectually challenging work, and create more room for the life they want.
You might be an expert at what you do, but that’s not the same as knowing how to navigate the job market. These are two very different skill sets. That’s where my team and I come in. You’ve done the hard work. Let’s make sure the right people see your value.
03 / Career coaching stories
Real client experiencesNew roles, in their words.
I was not looking for a different position. I was looking for my own peace. The opportunity just unfolded from there.
After almost 12 months of searching, I almost gave up hope of ever finding anything in Tech again. I was ready to leave tech and product management behind before I joined Kieu’s program. She showed me simple strategies that I followed. I couldn’t believe it but after a few weeks, I started hearing back from a few places and things got much more interesting and busy in a good way. I was able to secure two offers with a competitive package. Thank you Kieu and the team for turning this around for me. I’ll be forever grateful!
When I joined Kieu and ESVP, I’d been out of work for five months and my spray-and-pray approach wasn’t getting results. Despite 25 years in UX and strong references, the lack of traction was discouraging. Kieu and her team helped me clarify my target role and company profile, then guided me through a multi-pronged plan to tell my story more effectively, resulting in a stronger résumé, portfolio, and online presence. I landed a new role well aligned with my strengths. I’m deeply grateful to Kieu and highly recommend the program.
Kieu has been an outstanding career coach and mentor throughout my professional journey. What stands out most is her ability to listen closely, understand my unique challenges, and offer practical, actionable advice that always feels tailored to me. Her methods around interview preparation were especially impactful. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and results-driven career coach.
Working with Kieu has been a valuable experience. She's direct, insightful, and efficient—someone who gets you on the right track quickly. I also learned a great deal from observing how she structures conversations and confidently leads a room. I'm genuinely grateful for her coaching program and guidance.
There was a pivot from almost complacency and acceptance of my existence versus having that fire lit under me again. Your perspective is worth every penny.
