Having a great time with Clients who are at the job application stage.

Some universal truths for the job search include:

  1. Prepare well – This makes every part of the job search easier, clearer, faster and more effective.
  2. Personalise it – If you want a personal response, the effort on your part should be as personal and direct as possible.
  3. Deliver competently – The learning curve is steepest in the beginning and takes years to master, but you don’t need mastery to succeed. Competence is all you need, and that doesn’t have to take long.
  4. Deliver consistently – Steady progress is the most predictable path to ultimate success. Even slow and steady progress is much better than short bursts of inspiration followed by long delays.
  5. Continuous improvement – If you improving at a steady rate, you will always win on a long enogh timeline. You know your project is over when you win. It might take 1 week or much longer. If you are committed, you will get there.

Haroon Patel
Risk & Control Accountant
Supply Chain Distribution Admin


As Unilever’s “Controls Expert”, Haroon was responsible for Unilever’s Global Controls Framework from their headquarters in London. To understand what that means, just look at Unilever’s Wikipedia page:

  • Listed on 6 stock exchanges
  • Turnover = 60 billion Euros
  • Employees= 150,000
  • Founded in 1929

This is why I call Haroon “The Superman of Risk and Controls” and it is indeed an honour to be his link to a bright future in New Zealand. Not only is he super talented, he is also an approachable and likeable guy. I wish Haroon and his family all the best that New Zealand has to offer.

This move to NZ would not have been possible without your help back in 2019. We have referred a couple of people your way, including my brother, as we believe you are the best person to assist with that sometimes elusive job offer.ย  Keep up the good work!! Thank you again for your assistance.

Kind regards,

“We are settling in. It was quite an adjustment from the rand to the dollar but we are getting used to it. The kids are loving it here and they feel so free. We love the rugby here.  We went to a few matches already and are looking forward to the big game in July when South Africa is playing here.

It was a pleasure to work with you and you went the extra mile with us. Your work definitely paid off and we are grateful for that. We love the beauty of this place.”
