Career Fulfillment starts with Self-Knowledge.

Hoda Careers Empowers
Individuals With Self-Knowledge
to design a career & life they love.

Hi, I’m Hoda, it’s pronounced like Yoda from Star Wars.

Since 2019, I’ve been working with individuals to help them find clarity and confidence in their career-related decisions. I can easily relate to and understand people with Eastern and Western cultural values due to growing up and studying both in the Middle East and North America. I knew early on that I was meant to be a teacher, my first student was our neighbour’s daughter when I was in elementary school, and I went on to hold tutoring positions throughout my high school and undergrad studies. Through my undergrad tutoring roles, I found myself automatically coaching students to make big decisions about their future majors, university, and careers. Hence, I decided to study career development to increase my effectiveness as a coach.

Kind Words...

“I was facing a lot of major decisions and I didn’t know how to move forward with them and how to go about deciding and that caused me a lot of stress. I also didn’t know how to look at the bigger picture or compare many options at once. Hoda’s career coaching is more personalized than I’ve ever experienced before in school, even all the answers to the tests or descriptions are tailored to my personality and not a generic answer that would fit everyone. Career coaching with Hoda was very insightful and I learned a lot about myself that isn’t only going to help me apply for universities but will also help me with future jobs. I am more self-aware and confident now. I know what I’m looking for when making a decision I’m also significantly less stressed and more excited about the next chapter of my life.”

“I wasn’t able to decide what the right career was for me. Career coaching with Hoda was something I really needed and it helped me so much to know myself and what I’m good at. Initially, it felt out of my comfort zone as I’m a shy person but it was so worth it. Now I am more confident in myself because I know myself and what I am good at. Aside from career help, I became better at improving my thoughts to more positive thoughts and that helped me be happier in life. I would definitely go back to hoda in the future again.”

High School Senior

My teenage son was undecided regarding his possible university majors and needed some personal encouragement due to a recent surgery. Due to career coaching with Hoda, he has released the mental pressure related to his close future as well as he is now more sure about his possibilities and options. This is a real customized personal analysis and lets you know your real capabilities and why each one of us is unique. The sessions were very engaging and benefited him in learning about himself and he mentioned several times how he feels less mental pressure and stress now.”

Firstly to describe Hoda as a human being – she is incredibly warm, caring, professional, positive, intuitive, and insightful person. Secondly, to describe Hoda as a career coach – she was the first coach to provide me with tactical homework and solutions to further narrow down my options for my job search and next career move. For context, over this past year, I have had the experience of working with various coaches through work, during my job transition, and through various organizations that I’ve been a part of. None of them were as human, as concise, or as productive in working with me as Hoda had been. Today through: our conversations, personality tests, and work together, I have narrowed my job search down to 2 job roles. Hoda helped me do this by helping me research and combine my past experience & my new skills to narrow down my options. I feel more confident in my application process + more efficient in how I apply for new roles. My approach is now more targeted and I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time boiling the ocean by applying to anything and everything that relates to my background. Hoda has helped me gain a more positive outlook when applying for jobs in what is said to be a very grim market in 2023. I am forever grateful to have met and worked with Hoda and would recommend her to anyone looking for a career coach.

“I cannot speak highly enough about Hoda as a career coach. Her dedication is unparalleled, and she invests her time and energy wholeheartedly. Hoda goes above and beyond, patiently guiding you through the process of self-discovery and personal growth. She is not just a mentor; she is a compassionate advocate who is willing to hold your hand every step of the way. Despite my busy schedule, Hoda’s flexibility and understanding were remarkable. If I couldn’t make a session, she was patient and accommodating, always ensuring I had the support I needed. Hoda is, without a doubt, the best mentor I’ve had in many years. Her commitment to her mentees’ success is truly commendable. I want to express my deep gratitude for the transformative impact our sessions have had on me. One tangible result I can point to is a significant improvement in my communication skills. The materials you provided were instrumental in honing this aspect of my professional toolkit. Additionally, her guidance helped me clarify my career goals, allowing me to be specific about the role I want to pursue as a product manager and the technical skills required to excel in that path.

I’m excited to share that I’ve taken concrete steps towards my career aspirations. I’ve enrolled in a Figma class to enhance my user experience design skills, contributing to my confidence in pursuing a product management role. Her mentorship has been valuable, and I’m genuinely optimistic about the bright future ahead.”

“Hoda is indeed a wealth of insights when it comes to career mapping and planning. She has a calm yet cheerful disposition that allows you to feel very comfortable and open to sharing your challenges and struggles.

She also led by example and went the extra mile to share growth opportunities and tangible actionable steps through our sessions. One thing I’m super grateful for is the clarity Hoda helped me get, for the next steps in my career.”
