I’m a career strategist, writer, trainer, and course creator. Btw also a LinkedIn Top Voice, social hooper, improviser, and more !
Before this, I was in management consulting and tech, where I was fortunate to have the opportunity to lead multi million dollar projects in my mid 20’s.
I love helping students, graduates, and early professionals excel in their careers.
Transitioning from an international student struggling to land his first job, into a leadership role all within 2 years has taught me a lot, and I would love to share that with you.
For 5 years I’ve been studying, writing, and talking about career development. Strangely though, I’ve never heard anyone say, “I’m excited to look for a job.”
There’s plenty of blame to go around, but the main reason you’re struggling to land a job is that the employment landscape is wildly different to what it was 30 years ago, when having a university degree and resume guaranteed a role.
Today, most people are still stuck in that same cycle – shipping their resumes to hundreds of companies with the hope that one would respond. Do you want to know the exact reason why your current job search strategy isn’t working?
I highly recommend Utkarsh for your job search. His program is very well-suited for international students. As a Mechanical Engineer looking for my first role in Australia, I learnt the skills and methods needed to get noticed by hiring managers. During my 6 months involvement with Grad Careers, Utkarsh was always there to help, even after office hours and on the weekends. The coaching and support I received from the program played a significant role in my success.
Graduate Mechanical Engineer
Utkarsh and the Grad Careers team are more than just a group of people who support you with your job search. During my three-month engagement with them, the emphasis was always on strategies that get you noticed by decision makers and hiring managers. It’s very different from the common ‘apply and pray’ method I was following before, and it worked. I highly recommend Grad Careers for any graduate job seekers, international students, or immigrants starting their job search journey.
Program Business Analyst
I was looking for IT job in Perth. I have been applying almost every IT jobs in seek, linkedin and indeed. That’s when I met Utkarsh, who helped me by showing the right path and gave me really good ideas on how to improve my CV. After following his guidance, I modified my CV. I started applying again but this time I started getting responses. I have finally landed with an IT job. So, I am very grateful to Utkarsh.
Desktop Engineer
“I joined Utkarsh’s job search program after spending 4 months applying online and it was an eye opener for me. I wish I had done it sooner. His program is super easy to understand and focuses on all the right areas. The thing that stood out for me was the introductions he made to connect me with working professionals. There were weekly check-ins so you never feel overwhelmed, alone or without a direction. I highly recommend his program.”

“One aspect that left a lasting impression on me was Utkarsh’s remarkable ability to not only understand my career aspirations but also align them with suitable opportunities. He invested considerable time and effort to truly grasp my skills, experiences, and goals, enabling him to provide invaluable insights and guidance throughout our journey together. Utkarsh’s deep understanding and thoughtful recommendations played a pivotal role in helping me make informed decisions and navigate the recruitment process with confidence.”
Business Data Analyst at LexisNexis
“I connected with Utkarsh over a simple LinkedIn message. Neither did I know how influential and succinct his strategies would be in shaping my career as an international student in Australia. I used his approach in most of the interviews I went for and networked in the most honest way possible. The idea was to initiate conversations that can help me get insights into the industry. I can confidently say that he played a key role in landing my first job in Sydney.”
