Career coaching for the life you actually have

When work has to fit your real life

Most advice about choosing a job, a field, or a career is built for a person who doesn't exist. Someone with no bad days, nothing else going on, and a life that fits neatly around a 9-to-6. Real people aren't like that. There's a body, a family, a burnout you're still recovering from, a year you took off and now have to explain. So the question isn't only "what do I want to do". It's what kind of work you can actually do, grow in, and stay in over the long run - without crashing in a year and losing everything you built. I'm here to walk this road with you - because I know it from both sides, as an employer and as an employee :)

Professional background

For nine years I worked in HR at Hi-tech companies. I was on the hiring side - I read résumés, I sat in personal interviews, and I saw up close how managers think about "fit", and what really happens behind the scenes when they decide who to take on. Today I'm a rehabilitation counselor at AllGood (שכולו טוב) - the leading vocational rehabilitation service for recipients of the rehabilitation basket (סל שיקום). I support people with disabilities, people with complex health conditions - including invisible illnesses and psychiatric disabilities - on their way to work and to a life with content and meaning, and help them deal with all the different parties involved. And there's a third side too: I live with fibromyalgia and colitis myself. I know what it means to work a full day when today I only have a little energy, and to decide every morning what's worth the effort. These three sides - hiring, guiding rehabilitation, living with chronic illness - are the tools I bring with me to working with you. They also mean I don't get scared off by a complicated story. Whatever yours is.

Who it's for

This is for anyone trying to figure out what to do about work - what you actually want, what's realistic right now, and how to get from one to the other. Some of the people I work with live with a chronic illness or disability. Some don't. The questions turn out to be pretty similar.

You want to change direction, and you have no idea where to start?
You're coming back to work after a break - illness, parenting, a layoff, or just a long pause?
You're already working, but it's become too much, and you need to rethink what your day looks like?
You're living with a chronic illness or disability, and you want someone who understands both the working world and that reality?

What we work on

The goal isn't just to find a job and "get by" - it's to build a career you actually want.

Writing a résumé that speaks for itself, gaps and all
Getting ready for interviews - what to say, how, and what you don't have to talk about
Finding a field or direction that fits who you are today, and growing in it
Building a career that moves forward and reaching your goals, at a pace that works for you
Asking for what you need at work - a raise, a change, accommodations - without feeling awkward
Building a long-term work routine - not for your best day, but for an ordinary one
Dealing with managers, the team, and the system when things get complicated
