Testimonials
Here’s what our customers love about us 🙂
Thejas
NHS Physician, UK
“I’m a doctor in Chennai and I intended to move to the UK having completed my MRCP here. I had my documentation done and yet I was clueless as to how to proceed with the same. It was an off season where not many doctors were being recruited from overseas. The compition was immense and having the degree didn’t matter as there were barely any vacancies.
It was during that time that I got in touch with Nivedita, from PivotX and she, along with Priya was able to understand exactly what the situation was and what I needed.
They understood what my strengths and weaknesses were, with just a small conversation and guided me as to how I had to channelise what I knew. They fine tuned my skills and gave me the necessary guidance which made me confident for my interviews.
They also helped me in crafting my resume and told me how exactly to present myself in order to compliment what I had in paper, something which went a long way in impressing the pannel. I am happy to say that I have been placed in one of the best hospitals in UK. Of the 4 interviews I had given, I was selected in 2.
It would make it really easy for me to recommend PivotX to anyone who is trying to get a job in the NHS and I’m sure that their guidance would go a long way in securing a position with ease.”

Associate Director, Sri Krishna Institute of Technology, Bangalore
“PivotX did an impactful three-day workshop at Sri Krishna Institute of Technology. The efforts that Niveditha and Priya had put before the session were impressive. They set up multiple meetings to understand the Institute’s requirements and the student mindset.
I have worked with multiple training agencies and what stands out about PivotX is their dedication and sincerity in delivering a personalized workshop tailored to our needs. Apart from learning technical skills in a professional degree, the need for personal branding, awareness of opportunities in the market, analyzing one’s strengths and weaknesses and accordingly identifying career paths are essential. Further, they were able to bring in an understanding that strategic storytelling and interpersonal skills are required to thrive in today’s corporate world. The workshop was interactive and hands-on that captured these key points and empowered the students.
PivotX to me is two driven confident experienced young women making a difference to many aspiring students trying to reach their professional goals. We look forward to our continued partnership!”

Incoming PGY1 Resident '24, Kentucky
“I’m an old grad who is repeating my match application journey. I consider myself someone with an average profile and I started working with Priya and Niveditha in June last year.
They worked very closely with me through regular sessions, and revisiting my previous applications in depth, to improvevand craft my journey into a well-rounded application, highlighting my strengths.
Beyond the application process, they instilled confidence in me and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. I also worked with them to improve my interview skills. Through mock interviews, they provided sincere feedback that helped me appreciate what is expected in an interview.
As a team effort, and with PivotX pushing me, I was able to land a total of 7 interviews in IM and FM specialties. This was a huge improvement from my past attempts where I only received 1 or 2 interviews.
I finally matched into my ideal program! I strongly recommend PivotX. Priya and Niveditha are amazing mentors, and I’m confident they will pivot you to the other side.”

Incoming PGY1 Resident '24, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center
“I just want to express my gratitude for the exceptional support you provided throughout the match season.
Your assistance be it with the personal statement, letter of recommendations, letter of interests and the personalized mock interviews was invaluable.
I was more intrigued by how affordable the whole package was for the one-to-one nature of services where you took a limited number of people to provide the quality without compromise is amazing. My queries were addressed quickly and the intentional iterations while editing my PS were very helpful!
What stood out for me was the timely mock interviews that you provided for me before my interviews, and they were so personalized as I was able to appreciate that you guys have also investigated the program’s website and asked me questions close to that.
Also, I like how you conduct mock interviews where two of you were present for all my mocks and one asked the question whereas other person observed. I believe this helps to bring in different perspectives to structuring a good answer. I also liked the Interview prep resources document that you shared and particularly I used the “interview question bank and PivotX Interview prep intro sessions” which were very helpful to go back to before each of my interviews to just brush up on everything.
Apart from this, I would say both of you went above and
beyond to assist me throughout this process whenever I needed it. I would recommend your service to any of my friends applying in the future. Thank you so much again.”

“PivotX helped me identify my core strengths when it came to structuring my portfolio for my master’s applications. Not only did they help me with application but also helped me identify new roads in terms of my career post graduation.
Each university had different requirements for which PivotX helped me prepare the application accurately, right from scratch.
My field of interest being a niche one, required all the more extra efforts in terms of tailoring my profile, highlighting the relevant experience and knowledge. They were very patient throughout the whole process and did not compromise in any aspect at all, while most other services tend to do so.
Both Priya & Niveditha have constantly given good practical strategies for me to combat all the problems that I am likely to face in the entire study-abroad journey. This 360 degree approach is much appreciated and rare to come by!”

Incoming PGY1 Resident '24, California
“It’s clear that international medical graduates (IMGs) encounter more obstacles in their journey. Fortunately, my mentors at PivotX have made this process much easier, and I finally matched into my ideal residency.
I signed up at PivotX to prepare for my interviews.Through insightful advice and nurturing sessions held by Niveditha and Priya, I achieved a clear idea of what residency programs look for in applicants during interviews.
At PivotX, I learned how to craft strong interview responses and present myself with poise. I also developed great communication skills.
They paid close attention to even the smallest details and made sure I fully understood every step of the residency process. They motivated me throughout my interview journey, and for that, I will always be grateful.”
Sujitha
Aspiring Data Analyst, Singapore/India
As a mother of two who took a six-year career break, I turned to Niveditha when I contemplated returning to the corporate world. She attentively listened to my concerns, helped me identify my interests, and provided invaluable advice on career development. Following her guidance, I pursued an Advanced Data Analytics course at NUS, Singapore.
The unwavering support from both Priya and Niveditha throughout my transition journey, coupled with their trust in my abilities, helped me regain my confidence, even amidst an imminent move back to India. They assisted me in revitalizing all my career tools, from my resume to my LinkedIn profile. Additionally, they created a detailed progression guide for me to become a data analyst, including live practice resources, and interviewing strategies.
I was thoroughly impressed by their expertise in the field, as they offered constructive feedback on my real-time assignments, providing me with hands-on experience and a clear understanding of the expectations of a data analyst role. As a result, I’ve begun to receive interview calls, and I’m confident to transition successfully. I’m incredibly grateful to PivotX for accompanying me on this journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of career guidance and support.
Aishwarya
Healthcare Leader, USA
I had my first conversation with Niveditha when I was actively contemplating what to do next in my professional journey and how to potentially pivot to a different field. Niveditha immediately understood the situation, was sharp, empathetic and proactively gave feedback on what avenues to pursue in the life sciences industry, and suggestions on how I can build my profile to potentially pivot to a different role, keeping perspective of what’s feasible short term and long term.
I’m also very appreciative to both Niveditha and Priya for reviewing and providing specific constructive feedback on how to improve my resume! I’m glad to say that I have successfully transitioned into a new role, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it!
Navigating the professional journey can be challenging, be it figuring out how to create a great impression and solid foundation when one starts a new role, or pivoting to a new field, how to get the promotion you want or how to uncover your strengths and pursue your passion. It’s a gift to have guides and partners who can help you navigate this professional journey, and Niveditha and Priya are those individuals for me. And I very much look forward to working with PivotX again!

“I wouldn’t think twice before recommending Priya to anyone looking for a job. I’m so glad she’s doing this professionally because we know how intimidating the job search can be, and we all need someone like Priya to help us find what is meant for us in the end.
Thank you, Priya. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Working with Priya has been nothing short of “life changing”.
Her ability to not only impart knowledge in the best way possible but to also be so empathetic in the way she approaches an individual’s situation is truly commendable.
Priya helped me to understand how to actually format and structure my resume so that it caters to the requirements of specific job roles. She helped me practise and ace situational interview formats to the extent where I felt extremely confident about multiple interviews with organizations across the board, from startups to MNCs. And through the whole process of looking for a job, she was constantly giving me valuable feedback and guiding me on how to do better. Priya coached me to become better at communication, developing my resume, speaking with confidence, and understanding how to pinpoint job roles that were meant for me in terms of my strengths and experience.”

With their expert guidance, I was able to showcase my skills and experience in the best possible light, and ultimately landed a job that I love. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their resume and increase their chances of success in the job market. Thank you, Niveditha and Priya, for all your help and support!”
Maithily
Incoming PGY1 Resident ‘23 WVU Wheeling Hospital, USA
I’m a doctor and an incoming 2023 PGY1 Resident in the US. Being a 2018 medical graduate and not matching in my first cycle left me overwhelmed and underconfident. From there, matching into WVU Wheeling Hospital, an unopposed program, has been a dream come true, and Niveditha played a huge role. I initially joined a well-known agency for guidance but soon realized that the cookie-cutter way wouldn’t make the cut. Finding someone who will go all out to make your application stand out is rare.
I was fortunate to meet Niveditha – she transformed my Resume and gave inputs on my Personal Statement, which has been the highlight of my application. The way she made me feel comfortable in my skin and ensured my element was preserved through my application was incredible! Making your Resume and Personal Statement complement each other is the most critical. She helped me weave all my experiences, showcasing who I am, what I’m willing to do, and my commitment into one coherent story effortlessly. Other agencies, unfortunately, could not help me make it personalized.
Executing who you really are, is the real test in such competitive residency programs, and that is where she help me the most. My transformed application from the last cycle made me go from landing 0 to 6 interviews this season! Although she wasn’t my personal mentor, I felt like she was there for me like one throughout. Approaching and trusting her was one of my biggest reasons to make it in a field I love. Besides her professionalism and education, what makes her best at what she does is how considerate and understanding she is as a person!

Niveditha’s help was invaluable in securing admission to two UC schools for Business Analytics and Professional MBA program, despite being late in the cycle. She greatly improved my personal narrative and interviewing skills and stood by me throughout the process. Her knowledge of the US dynamics helped me in choosing the right university that aligned with my professional goals.“I highly appreciate the PivotX initiative for their unwavering support in aiding fellow students. Couldn’t recommend them enough to any MBA or MS aspirant who wants to study and excel in the US.
Sree Kartthik
Incoming PGY1 Resident ‘23 NYMC, St. Mary’s Hospital, USA
Being an introverted person, it was a huge challenge for me to bring out my personal story both on paper and in interviews. However, I was fortunate to find my personal mentor Niveditha, from PivotX, who helped me achieve just that and played a major role in me securing an IM residency program. It’s incredibly hard to make all our documents to complement each other and showcase your narrative during this testing time, but she stuck with me from day one and helped me focus on my strengths.
She transformed my personal narrative, highlighting my achievements and demonstrating my value, something that most Program directors acknowledged during the interviews. Practicing mock interviews with her was my favorite part of this process- she helped me articulate my thoughts and ideas better, allowing me to present my best version.
Competition was fierce last season, leaving with fewer interviews and increasingly nervous. In these crucial times, she instilled in me the belief that I needed just one opportunity to succeed, and that’s what transpired. I matched in my first cycle!
To all my peers on the USMLE journey, I can vouch that PivotX will be your best investment in the residency match journey.
