Wonsulting Review - The Networking Breakthrough: How Wonsulting Catapulted Anusha's Career Forward

Anusha’s Next Adventure: From Fashion Merchandising to Business Operations at Victoria’s Secret & Co.

When Anusha Patel first discovered Wonsulting, she had already begun working at Bath & Body Works as an Assistant Digital Merchandiser. She wasn’t in a traditional job search. Instead, she was seeking guidance on how to grow her career intentionally and communicate her value more confidently.

‍

From Kent State to Corporate Strategy

Anusha graduated in 2022 from Kent State University with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. After a series of internships, she began her career at Bath & Body Works. Though she was gaining valuable experience, she sensed there was more she could do to develop professionally.

What held her back? She explains it simply:

• “I’m typically a little more reserved”
• “I used Easy Apply a lot”
• “I’d avoid reaching out to people or having conversations on LinkedIn”

‍

The Networking Breakthrough

Anusha’s career turning point wasn’t just about a resume edit or job board strategy. It was about overcoming her hesitation to network and discovering the power of real conversations.

‍

She accessed tools like ResumAI. But the biggest shift came through personalized career coaching mentorship from Wonsulting’s Ultimate Bundle.

‍

• “We just practiced. Really networking and then mastering the interview.”
• “That’s something I still take with me today.”

‍

Instead of applying passively, Anusha began actively connecting with professionals. She booked short coffee chats, asked intentional questions, and followed up thoughtfully.

‍

One key tactic she used:

‍

• “At the end of each chat, I’d ask, ‘This is totally optional, but is there anyone else you think I should talk to?’”
• “That’s how I built my network sometimes getting one referral, other times getting seven.”

‍

This wasn’t just a technique. It became a mindset. And it worked.

‍

Anusha’s Role Today

Anusha is currently working as a Business Operations Coordinator at Victoria’s Secret & Co., a role she started in April 2024. It builds on her experience in digital merchandising and includes responsibilities in public relations.
