Hey {{First Name | there}},

Ugo had a data science degree. Graduated with distinction. And he was earning £23,000 a year as an NHS Band 2 healthcare assistant.

Not in data. Not in tech. Hands-on support work. Pressure care, helping patients regain independence. The kind of role where nobody asks about your degree because the work itself doesn’t require one.

He was applying to data engineering, data science, and data analyst roles. Sending CVs everywhere. Getting calls from LinkedIn but never making it past the first stage. He believed he had the qualifications: his MSc projects were real, he’d done a data engineering bootcamp in 2024. But he couldn’t get traction. There was something he didn’t understand about what employers actually wanted. He described it like this: “I was qualified on paper, but I had an invisible barrier.”

The real problem? Communication skills and presentation. In interviews, he’d get stuck mid-answer and need minutes to regain his thought. His CV wasn’t showing impact. His projects existed but weren’t framed right. He was capable, but nobody could see it yet.

So he reached out. Found me on social media. Sent a message basically saying: “I’ve got an MSc in data science and I’m stuck in a Band 2 NHS role. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Can you help?”

I said yes. And over the next three months, we rebuilt everything.

Here’s what we actually worked on:

First — his CV. Two pages down to one. The restructure meant more recruiter calls. He was skeptical at first: “Is that really necessary?” But once he used the new CV, the difference was immediate. Agencies started calling him constantly.

Then — the projects. He built work on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Databricks. Real projects that proved he understood the tech. Things he could walk into an interview and actually demo.

Then — the applications and targeting. Minimum 20 applications per day, even juggling night shifts. We built a job application system and stuck to it. No random applications. Strategic targeting.

Then — interview prep. Real questions, practised out loud every weekend. Not waffle. Proper scenario-based answers using the STAR framework. He wrote six experiences from his NHS work that showed leadership and impact, even though the role was support work. We rehearsed until answering felt natural.

Then — certifications. Azure Fundamentals and Azure Data Engineering, both completed. Proof of commitment to learning.

Then — LinkedIn. Rebuilt his profile completely. Started with five to ten connections a week, two to three comments per day. Real engagement, not spam.

And supporting statements. Every NHS application, every Civil Service job. We hit the word limits every time. Strategic, not generic.

I didn’t do the work for him. He did the work. I gave him the system.

NHS Band 7. Senior Data Engineer. £46,000.

Same NHS. Same person. Completely different life. From £23K to £46K — his salary doubled.

The journey was August through September: interviews constantly. Sometimes two in a week, at least three per month. Most required building and presenting a project. He was travelling, interviewing, coming back, grabbing a coffee, going straight to his night shift. All while staying focused.

He got the call on the bus. He didn’t know if he should shout or scream.

And this one stuck with me: “Without the mentorship, I think I would still be a healthcare assistant. Not because I wouldn’t have kept trying, but because I didn’t have a roadmap. I was working hard, but in the wrong direction.”

He followed a system. Not luck. Not connections. Not a fancy bootcamp. A system.

The CV rewrite. The portfolio projects. The interview prep. The mindset shift from “I’m not experienced enough” to “here’s what I’ve built and why it matters.”

I’ve spent the past year turning that system into a book. And today, it’s live. 📖
