Meeting Purpose
To assess Dilan's job search challenges and propose Capital Career Club's services.
Key Takeaways
- Problem: Dilan, a recent MBA grad, is stuck in a delivery job (3 PM–1 AM) due to Polish language barriers and a lack of a targeted job search strategy.
- Goal: Secure a corporate role in 1–2 months to support his family and gain a stable legal status in Poland.
- Solution: Capital Career Club offered a 95% done-for-you job search service, including strategy, application management, and interview prep.
- Blocker: The 6,000 PLN upfront fee is unaffordable. Dilan declined a 250 PLN deposit for a payment plan, citing severe financial strain from recent housing costs and a firm no-debt policy.
