About Marilena
I’m Marilena, founder of The Kind Career—a professional coaching space for people who want more than a paycheck. My clients strive for purpose, clarity and being coached with dignity.
I offer emotionally attuned coaching through my unique Kind-Fit Method, aligning your character, skills, and culture with your potential workplace, so you stop forcing bad matches.
I adapt to my clients quickly and meet you where you are—starting, pivoting mid-career, or piecing yourself back together after a sabbatical or burnout.
For 10+ years, I worked in international human rights at NGOs, the UN, and purpose-driven startups. My work has appeared in Forbes, the Atlantic Council, Opinio Juris, and the McCain Institute. During that time, applying has become my second nature, and I know exactly what hiring managers are looking for during the CV, interview and salary negotiation phase.
But The Kind Career isn’t just built on my international credentials as a former high-level human rights consultant. It’s built on restoring confidence in a hiring system that feels cold, mechanical—like pressing “apply” into a void and never hearing back.
I have worked with ambitious and purpose-driven people who feel exhausted, intelligent minds who can’t find their next step, and changemakers from around the world who are tired of getting rejected for jobs they are well-suited for. It doesn't matter at what stage you are at; most likely, I have been there myself and can help you.
Once you understand that job searching isn’t just professional, but also personal and emotional, your goals become much clearer to define. That will be our starting point.

Marilena is very thorough and thoughtful. She has really helped me with my confidence! She really prepares for the lessons and leaves you with great materials you can use over and over.
I had my introductory call with Marilena and it was such a positive and helpful conversation. She has such a positive attitude and outlook which gives you the confidence to continue pursuing your goals.
I highly recommend Marilena's services. She was instrumental in helping me reach the interview stage, offering guidance throughout the process. Her lessons are in-depth, and the resources she provides are well-structured, practical, and tailored to individual students.
After asking within a group of human rights professionals, I hired Marilena to help me with some CV writing. Marilena helped me tailor my resume. She is meticulous about detail and a true professional, applying the STAR method to the job personification. Marilena picked up little things that did not stand out to me. She has an excellent knowledge of the development sector. Marilena also helped me with a cover letter. In addition, she has also assisted me with some transcription. Marilena is a true professional, and I would recommend her to others.
It is no doubt hard to highlight the most important skills when applying for a job, but what I really appreciated in Marilena’s thoughtful guidance was that she pointed out what would be the best for me, and in the end, it perfectly and successfully worked for me.
As a result of Marilena’s excellent and supportive guidance, I got to the interview stage and got the job as a Project Manager in one of the established feminist non-profit organisations.
As a woman of color, often having conversations with career coaches often feels very unrelatable. Marilena is very empathetic, and guides in a way that helps you reset your thinking and it is empowering. I can't recommend her enough to help you review your career strategies and also for preparing for interviews.
I requested Marilena’s input into a piece of written work. I chose Marilena because she has extensive professional experience and knowledge in the field of human rights and has an eye for editorial detail. The feedback that she gave me was helpful regarding the content and structure of my work. Marilena proved herself to be fair, reliable, and professional. I therefore recommend Marilena as a tutor.
