Time spent to land a new job after Thrivre’s help: 4 weeks
Salary increase: 42%

Before Thrivre

After completing her Master’s degree in Education in the UK, as anyone would, Mie began applying for relevant roles that closely aligned with her profile — most importantly, her passion and belief in education.

Week after week and month after month, clicking the “submit your CV” started to feel not quite right, especially when there was nothing heard back.

For 4 months, applying for more than 26 roles, along with her university’s help.

No email, no phone call.

Silence started to form into anxiety, and it soon turned into self-doubt.

“Am I actually good enough for this field?”
“If I really belonged here, wouldn’t someone have said yes by now?”

What She Was Trying to Achieve

It wasn’t titles or prestige that Mie was chasing; it was the first stepping stone to her career in Education — an entry-level position that she could learn, contribute, and grow with confidence and clarity.

Working on an academic CV alone can be hideous and overwhelming when it requires more nuance than a typical resume. With limited experience, like in her case, it becomes extremely difficult to cater to what their employers want while avoiding what they displease.

“I knew I had something to offer. I just didn’t know how to show it.”

It was always this thought that made her frustrated, leading her to seek help.

That’s where Thrivre came in to play.

What Changed with Thrivre

With Thrivre’s help by asking thoughtful and self-reflecting questions through Resume Writing, Mie started to see her profile in a new light, especially where things can be improved further to match the market’s needs.

Together, they rebuilt her CV into a proper academic format, clarifying her academic summary and restructuring her experiences to completely pass the ATS system and in favour of human judgment.

For the first time ever, her CV reflected a professional side of herself — not just a list of activities.

“If I hadn’t found Thrivre, I would’ve lost more time, energy, and opportunities without even realising it.”

The Result

After Mie revised her CV with Thrivre and started applying again, things started to move.

She started receiving phone calls and emails from HR for pre-screenings, and even landed multiple interviews!

Not for long, she received a job offer from an English Centre in Bangkok, close to home — a place she genuinely wanted to work with and flourished according to her passion for Education.

More than just landing a job, it was the sign of relief from her self-doubt — a quiet, dreadful whispering of unbelonging that burdened her for several months.

Just months before, she was questioning whether she had chosen the right path — to pursue her dream and passion. Now, she sees where she’s going — on her way to thrive as who she is.

“For the first time, my CV reflects who I really am and actually helps me to pursue my dreams”

Who This Is For

Mie’s story is the testament of Thrivre’s mission and what it aspires to do — to help unlock people’s career potential.

It’s time to question what we are taught to “suppose” to do — study hard, choose a meaningful career, and try to play by the rules — yet still find ourselves doubting our own worth when nothing works.

Especially the fresh graduates and early-career professionals who struggle to land their dream jobs and have the same thoughts.

“I know I’m capable… so why isn’t anyone seeing it?”

If you ever wonder whether the problem is your career choice, background, or experience, Mie’s story serves as the most tangible evidence that sometimes it’s a single document that is blocking you from achieving your goal.

Because most of the time, it’s not a lack of ability, but a lack of clarity — a way to represent your value and expertise in the right way.
