About Minerva Garcia Valero

I’m a creative mind with a passion for advertising and PR, currently navigating the challenging and often frustrating process of finding a job in London. Originally from Spain, I moved to the UK to pursue my career, sharing my journey on social media, where I document the cultural shocks, struggles, and wins of being an expat.

After realizing how tedious and impersonal the traditional job application process is, I decided to take a different approach one that truly embodies thinking outside the box. Instead of just sending a standard CV, I’ve been turning my applications into creative statements. I sent a CV inside an engagement ring box because there’s no greater commitment than that, delivered a single shoe to symbolize stepping into the company, and even sent a puzzle piece to show that I’m exactly what they’re missing. And this is just the beginning, I have even more unconventional applications in the works.

I’ll be sharing my experiences, the struggles of breaking into the industry, and why creativity is the key to standing out in today’s competitive job market. My journey is proof that sometimes, the best way to get noticed is to rewrite the rules entirely.
