Expertise
Sessions with Sohaib Arif
- Just a casual chat (30 min): Just want to chat? Book this call for a casual chat about anything. Meaning of life? Philosophy? Science? Design? Or may be your product idea.
- Resume / Portfolio Review (30 min): Bring your resume and portfolio, and I’ll give clear, practical feedback to make them sharper and more compelling. We’ll focus on clarity, impact, and how to tell your story; what to cut, what to highlight, and how to show outcomes (not just tasks). You’ll leave with specific edits and examples you can apply right away.
- Career guidance (30 min): Not sure about next steps? I’ll help you map where you are, where you want to go, and the concrete moves to get there. We’ll cover role fit (IC vs. lead), skills to prioritize, how to show impact, and how to navigate interviews and offers based on real experience working in fast-paced product teams.
- Breaking into design (30 min): Starting out or switching careers? I’ll help you build a focused plan: what to learn, what to ship, and how to present it. We’ll discuss portfolio projects that signal real skills, how to talk about your process, and how to land interviews, even without prior design titles.
