Refining Your Resume & Positioning

We don’t just tweak your resume, we work with you to shape how you tell your story. Together, we’ll refine how your skills and experience come across so that your resume speaks directly to the roles you’re targeting.

Mapping Out the Right Companies for You

Instead of applying everywhere and hoping for the best, we help you strategically identify roles, industries, and companies that align with your experience and goals, so your job search feels focused and intentional.

Crafting a Stronger Career Narrative

Your cover letter, LinkedIn, and outreach messages all play a role in how you position yourself. We’ll help you develop a cohesive and compelling narrative that makes your transition or career move more effective.

Iterating Through Interviews & Applications

We approach interviews as an ongoing learning process. Through mock interviews, feedback loops, and real-time application tweaks, we help you hone your communication and strategy so you improve with every opportunity.

Free Consultation

Let’s start with a conversation. In this complimentary session, we’ll walk through where you are in your career, what’s working (and what’s not), and what you want to build toward. From there, we’ll craft a plan that fits your goals.

What people are saying:

For the longest time, I thought my job search struggles were just bad luck. I was sending out applications, checking all the boxes, and waiting, nothing was working. It wasn’t until I joined the program that I realised the problem wasn’t luck, it was my approach.

One of the most valuable things I learned was how to track and analyse my applications. Seeing patterns helped me adjust my strategy in real time, instead of just hoping for better results. That shift made my process more efficient and intentional.

I always thought I had a solid resume. But after applying to countless jobs and hearing nothing back, I knew something was off. The program helped me see where I was losing opportunities and how small adjustments could make a big difference.

After refining my resume and LinkedIn, I started getting responses from companies I thought were out of reach. One of those led to an interview for a program management role, something I had been eager to transition into. The guidance I received on case studies and interview prep helped me walk into that conversation prepared and confident.

I had great experience, but I struggled to translate it into the kind of roles I wanted in tech. Every time I sat down to write an application, I felt stuck. How do I connect my background to this new industry? The program helped me break that down.

Learning how to build a 'master resume' was a game-changer. Documenting my accomplishments gave me a clearer view of my career story and made it easier to tailor applications without losing sight of my bigger goals. More than anything, I left with a clear career strategy - not just a better resume

When I started job searching, I felt like I was throwing darts in the dark. I had no real strategy, just a growing sense of frustration. From the first session, the program gave me direction and a structured way to approach my search.

One of the most important things I learned was how to tell my career story in a way that resonated with employers. The moment I started framing my experiences differently, I saw an immediate shift - more responses, better interviews, and opportunties to consider!

I was very excited when I applied for an opportunity through VFA. After my initial conversation with the team, they sent me an updated version of my resume that they believed would position me better for the role. It was evident that they had put in an incredible amount of time and effort to truly understand my skills, experiences, and aspirations. The level of detail and refinement in my updated resume was simply outstanding.

With my newly refined resume effectively showcasing my story, I landed a recommendation for a dream role at one of VFA's startup partners, successfully making the career transition I had been aiming for!

I was once in the same situation as many job seekers - struggling to secure interviews and feeling frustrated with the lack of responses. That's when I decided to take advantage of Venture for Africa's resume review service. Let me tell you, it made a significant difference!

The feedback and guidance they provided were excellent, helping me overhaul my resume and effectively highlight my skills and experience. With my updated resume in hand, I confidently applied for a new role and guess what? Not only did I land an interview, but after prepping for the interview with VFA, I also received a job offer within a remarkably short period of time!
