The 3V Elite Code™ for Highly Skilled Professionals Seeking International Roles
Secure $100K+ international roles without competing in the online job market, chasing recruiters, or relocating first.
A private, high‑level mentoring partnership for senior professionals who understand that global careers are built through positioning, visibility, and strategic access, not volume applications.
This Is For You If ...
You are a highly skilled professional who:
Has 8+ years of experience in a specialist, technical, or leadership role
Is targeting mid–senior or executive international roles ($100K+ equivalent)
Is document‑ready or visa‑aware (or prepared to validate eligibility)
Is frustrated by online applications, recruiters, and ATS filters
Understands that how you show up in the market determines outcomes
Is ready to invest in strategic private mentorship, not generic coaching
This is not entry‑level job search support.
This is strategic career positioning for global markets.
Why Highly Skilled Professionals Stay Invisible Internationally
Most international professionals don’t fail because they lack capability.
They fail because they are forced into broken hiring systems designed for volume, compliance, and automation — not strategic value.
Online job boards, ATS platforms, and recruiter‑led processes:
- Commoditise even elite candidates
- Filter out international professionals before humans engage
- Reward noise, not signal
- Create false competition where none needs to exist
The result?
Highly capable professionals competing with hundreds — sometimes thousands — of applicants, while the real decisions happen elsewhere.
The Structural Shift: The 3V Elite Code™
The 3V Elite Code™ is a private strategic framework that repositions you outside the open job market.
Instead of applying for advertised roles, we engineer:
1. Visibility
You become known to the right employers before roles are advertised.
2. Value Articulation
You are positioned as a commercial solution, not a CV in a pile.
3. Strategic Positioning
You operate inside targeted employer ecosystems where competition is minimal or non‑existent.
This is how my clients are approached, shoulder‑tapped, and hired from a distance — often into roles that were never advertised publicly.
What This Private Mentoring Includes
Every engagement is tailored, but typically includes:
- Strategic career and target‑market definition
- Employer mapping aligned to visa and role requirements
- Executive‑level value articulation and positioning
- LinkedIn and visibility architecture
- Direct‑access and stakeholder engagement strategies
- Interview and offer positioning strategy
- Ongoing strategic mentorship during execution
This is not a course. This is not a fixed curriculum. This is strategic career architecture, built around you.

I was once the candidate trying to break into a foreign job market from offshore.
The system I teach exists because traditional pathways failed — until I rebuilt them.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this suitable if I’m still offshore and don’t yet have a job offer?
Yes, this is precisely who this service is designed for.Most of my clients secure international roles from offshore, before relocating and often before roles are advertised publicly.
This work focuses on strategic visibility, positioning, and access, not reactive job applications.
You do not need an offer in hand, but you do need senior-level experience, clarity on your target market, and the willingness to operate differently from the traditional job search model.
2. Do you apply for jobs or contact employers on my behalf?
No, and that distinction is intentional.
This is not a recruitment service, outsourcing model, or “done-for-you” job application service.
Instead, I work with you to:
> Position you as a commercial solution
> Architect visibility inside the right employer ecosystems
> Equip you with strategies that lead to direct engagement, shoulder taps, and approached opportunities
This ensures long-term career leverage, not short-term placement dependency.
3. What makes this different from career coaching, CV writing, or LinkedIn optimisation?
This is strategic career architecture, not surface-level optimisation.
Most services focus on documents, profiles, or interview techniques inside broken systems.
My work focuses on removing you from those systems altogether.
We engineer:
> Market positioning, not just presentation
> Employer proximity, not mass visibility
> Strategic access, not volume outreach
The result is fewer competitors, higher-level conversations, and roles that often never reach the public market.
