Meet Burcu, Career Development Mentor on Upnotch

Burcu Gul Kaplan, Upnotch Member, is an MSP Program Administrator at Talent Solutions TAPFIN and the founder of Authentic Career, a career development initiative dedicated to helping individuals build successful and authentic professional paths.

With a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in business psychology, Burcu combines talent expertise with deep human insight. She has over 4 years of experience in recruitment and has spent the past 5 years building her career in Poland while supporting others' growth journeys. Her master’s dissertation focused on imposter syndrome — a topic she remains deeply passionate about — and she is committed to helping professionals build confidence, advocate for themselves, and step into their full potential.

As a certified facilitator of the #IAmRemarkable initiative and an active contributor to NGOs, Burcu empowers underrepresented individuals to recognize their achievements, develop career clarity, and thrive. Through both her corporate role and Authentic Career, she supports professionals with interview preparation, resume strategy, job-search positioning, and confidence-building — always with an inclusive and empowerment-driven approach.

Burcu would be a wonderful career development mentor to anyone navigating imposter syndrome, building confidence at work, or preparing for job transitions, especially interviews and resume development.
