Career design & strategy
We help you design a career path as a series of experiments, not a single irreversible choice. That includes direction, timing, and trade-offs.
Where our expertise actually lives
This isn’t a random list of buzzwords. These are the domains we work in every week with real people, real constraints, and real deadlines.
Canadian job market context
We translate your background into language Canadian employers understand and calibrate expectations around timelines, role levels, and pay.
Emerging industries & future of work
We specialise in helping people position themselves for emerging sectors—tech, health-tech, digital transformation—without burning everything down.
Non-linear & “messy” careers
Multiple degrees, breaks, pivots, immigration, caregiving, burnout, restarts—we treat this as usable data, not something to hide.
Practical job search systems
We build search systems that fit your energy and life—targeted applications, networking, interview prep—without turning it into a second full-time job.
Clarity for students & graduates
We help you translate programs, projects, and part-time work into actual paths instead of letting you drift into “whatever job says yes first”.
Who we’re a good fit for
Not everyone. Here’s who tends to get the most value from Sleek Careers, based on what we see in sessions—not on marketing fluff.
Students & recent grads
You picked a program, not a lifetime sentence. We help you connect your studies to real options, without panicking about having “wasted” your degree.
Early & mid-career professionals
You’ve built experience, but you’re no longer sure the current track fits. We work on recalibrating direction, repositioning, or designing pivots.
Career switchers
You’re not starting over—you’re repackaging. We identify which parts of your experience transfer and which gaps you actually need to close.
Newcomers & relocators
Your previous labels don’t always translate. We focus on positioning, staged plans, and realistic expectations in a new country or city.
People with “complicated” lives
Health, caregiving, visas, burnout, finances—these are constraints, not flaws. We make them part of the design so your plan is survivable.
Curious generalists & multi-hyphenates
If you’re “interested in everything”, we help you narrow, prioritise, and pick a direction for the next 12–24 months without killing your curiosity.
How support actually works over time
This is what “support” means in practice—beyond the nice words. Different people need different depths; the structure stays clear.
1
Single-session clarity
One 60-minute session to untangle a specific question: a decision, a stuck pattern, or a confusing set of options. Ideal if you’re mostly clear but snagged.
2
Short programmes (3–5 sessions)
For deeper work on direction, pivots, or transitions. We move from mapping, to choices, to concrete plans and experiments over a few weeks or months.
3
Transition support
Ongoing support while you actually make moves: applications, interviews, role changes, or relocation timelines. Less theory, more troubleshooting.
4
Between-session check-ins
Light-touch email support between sessions where it makes sense: quick questions, reality-checks, and adjustments to your plan.
What we don’t do (and won’t pretend to)
Clarity includes being honest about what’s outside our lane. This protects you and keeps the work grounded.
We’re not therapy or crisis support
We can acknowledge burnout, anxiety, and heavy life stuff, but we don’t replace mental health professionals or crisis services. We may suggest you get parallel support if needed.
We’re not legal, immigration, or financial advisors
We can work with visa, legal, and money constraints, but we don’t give formal legal, immigration, or financial advice. We may encourage you to consult the right experts.
No fake “guaranteed job” promises
We don’t guarantee job offers or salaries. We do commit to giving you clearer thinking, sharper positioning, and better systems for your search and decisions.
No one-size-fits-all templates
We use frameworks and tools, but the plan we build is tied to your capacity, constraints, and priorities—not a generic playbook.
Need this kind of support for your career?
If you recognise yourself in any of the situations above and you’re tired of trying to figure it all out alone, we should probably talk.
