Consultant at Wipro LTD.

I undertook career guidance advice from Dr. Swati A Mishra while I was in my first year of BSc Life Sciences from Hansraj College, University of Delhi. She helped me identify my career goals and pathways. Under her able guidance and profile building exercise, I got admission to the prestigious King’s College London, UK, where I did MSc in Immunology. Then again she guided me for PhD in Immunology from the University of Paris, France. Now I am working with National Institute of Health, USA. Dr. Mishra has been a mentor and guide throughout my journey. I strongly recommend services offered by Go Career Guru and especially the profile building exercise, it’s very well developed and has helped me a lot for achieving my career aspirations.

Started taking advice from Dr. Swati Mishra and her team of experts about 15 months before my intended month of entry. The entire process, from the counselling sessions to streamlining of the SOP, LOR submissions etc was well coordinated. Throughout the application process, the team pushes you to make every aspect of the application perfect. Overall, the approach was very professional and practical. Prior to the one-on-one counselling sessions, I had a brief interaction on possible career options to explore the domain I wished for. The team is highly responsive and goes out of their way to help you. I highly recommend Career Guru to any student aspiring to get into top institutions. I got offers from SOAS – University of London, LSE, Edinburgh among other universities. I finally joined LSE and graduated with an MSc in Politics and Communication.
