Anonymous"I'm a Senior Full-Stack Developer, so working with a UX mentor on my CV wasn't an obvious choice — but the context made sense. Igor and I had briefly crossed paths at a work event, where I mentioned I was job hunting but felt my resume wasn't landing. He offered to take a look, and I trusted the offer. It turned out to be one of the more useful professional conversations I've had. We worked mostly async, which kept things efficient. Igor went deep on how I was presenting my experience — not the technical side, but how it reads, what it signals, and whether my strongest points were actually visible. We then had a call to walk through the reasoning: why certain changes mattered, what recruiters and hiring managers actually look for today, and how to position my strengths rather than just list them. Igor's read on the current market was sharper than I expected — he's reviewed enough hiring pipelines and candidate materials to know what actually moves the needle. What I didn't expect was the LinkedIn and GitHub angle — Igor pointed out that my profile and activity were part of the picture, not just the document itself. After the final async review, I updated everything accordingly. Within a week, I got a cold outreach on LinkedIn — someone came to me. That was the signal I needed."
