As a young woman pursuing studies in Sydney, I sought out the guidance of Career Coach Ehsan Ali, based in Quakers Hill, with high hopes for professional direction and support. However, my experience with him was nothing short of disappointing and unsettling.
From the outset, Mr. Ali made grand promises and claims about his ability to provide valuable insights and guidance for my career. Regrettably, these promises turned out to be empty, and his services proved to be a waste of both my time and money. Much of the information he provided during our sessions was readily available for free online, rendering his services redundant.
Moreover, Mr. Ali’s communication skills fell far short of what he portrayed, making it difficult to effectively convey or understand any meaningful advice. His language skills were lacking, further diminishing the quality of our interactions.
What truly made my experience unbearable was Mr. Ali’s inappropriate behavior during our coaching sessions. I felt deeply uncomfortable and unsafe as he continuously stared at my body parts, crossing boundaries that should never have been crossed in a professional setting. This behavior was not only unprofessional but entirely unacceptable.
Furthermore, a cursory search on Google revealed concerning information about Mr. Ali, which, had I known beforehand, would have deterred me from seeking his services altogether.
In conclusion, my experience with Career Coach Ehsan Ali was a regrettable one. I strongly advise against anyone seeking his services, as they offer little to no value and come with the added discomfort of unprofessional conduct. Save your time, money, and peace of mind by exploring other, more reputable avenues for career guidance.
