Roberta Basili

Before I hired Roberta as my mentor, my job search felt like a relentless uphill battle. I truly believed I had done everything there was to be done, revamping my portfolio (I’m a UX designer, by the way), hiring a UX design mentor, getting referrals, implementing advise from experts, watching countless videos, you name it. But with Roberta, I finally got to see my job search from the other side. Since she’s been on the hiring end, I started to understand how hiring managers actually think. And the things that make a real difference, that seem small, but are not. Take my resume, for example. I modified certain sections, and rewrote my summary from the ground up, and for the first time, I felt truly connected to it. Ask yourself: how often do you have a resume or cover letter that isn’t just tailored to the job but actually feels like you, so much so that even if you get rejected, you know deep down that what you’ve put forward is an authentic, powerful reflection of your skills, personality, and what you can genuinely bring to the table? That kind of confidence, the real, imposter-syndrome-free kind, is something you can’t achieve alone. Roberta gets it because she’s been there. She’s felt the frustration, the setbacks, the moments of doubt. And at the same time, she’s also been the person on the other end, reading resumes, assessing candidates, making those hiring decisions. That rare combination is what makes her mentorship so invaluable. Beyond all that, she’s just an incredible human being. She’s down to earth, welcoming, and truly sees you. She listens, empathizes, and understands your unique situation, without judgment, without generic advise. She tailors everything to you, and that sets the tone for an experience that’s both transformative and personal. So if you’re hesitating? Don’t. If you’re struggling, if you’re feeling stuck, if you’re wondering what’s missing, she’s the one. You won’t regret it.
