Hello! Entering the job market or stepping up your design career is a challenging yet exciting journey. Sometimes, getting an external perspective from someone who has walked this path can help bring complete clarity to your next steps.

In this program, I am here to review your resume and portfolio with you in a supportive, constructive, and honest environment, to work through the improvements step by step, and to bring your strengths forward.

What We Will Cover in This Program

Before we start, a short and free alignment session lets me understand your career goal and the current state of your resume and portfolio. After that, the program moves through three core pillars essential for a standout professional presence:

  1. Resume Review & Optimization

    First pillar

    Detailed analysis of structure, impact-driven bullet points, and practical tips to ensure your resume stands out immediately.

  2. In-Depth Portfolio Breakdown

    Second pillar

    Evaluating project storytelling, design logic, deliverables presentation, and actionable steps to maximize impact.

  3. Career Roadmap & Positioning

    Third pillar

    Strategic discussions around your skillset, personal traits, and experiences to identify the right career environments for you.


Session Schedule

This program has 3 sessions, all live and delivered over 3 weeks. Each session is 1 Hour, giving you 3 Hours of live conversation in total. The introductory alignment session is free and is not counted in these sessions or hours. Sessions follow a fixed schedule: Every Tuesday, 18:30 to 19:30 (Tehran time).

  1. The weekly session

    Tuesday · 18:30 to 19:30 · Online, live

    In each week's session (Tuesday) we review the current version of your resume and portfolio together. It is an interactive, two-way conversation, not a lecture: ask questions, share your concerns, and we reach a shared analysis.

  2. The rest of the week: apply the changes

    Apply changes

    Between sessions you apply the changes to your files yourself, and there is no session. For short questions, message me on Telegram or email; keep the bigger topics for the next session.

Format & structure

  • Sessions per week: 1 session, online and live (Tuesday).
  • Your files: You send your resume and portfolio link when you book, so I can review them before the session.
  • Interactive dialogue: This is not a lecture or a one-sided presentation. We engage in an open conversation, asking questions and exploring your challenges together.

The Best Way to Take This Program

Given the session days and times (Tuesday, 18:30 to 19:30), this rhythm gets the most out of each week:

  1. Before the session

    Prepare

    Have the latest version of your resume and portfolio ready and write down 2 or 3 specific questions. The sharper the questions, the more you get out of the session.

  2. The session

    Interactive dialogue

    On Tuesday, 18:30 to 19:30, keep your files open and write down notes and decisions as they happen.

  3. After the session

    Apply the changes

    While the session is fresh, apply the most important changes in the first few days, and keep the new files so we can review them in the next session.

  4. Until the next session

    Short questions

    If you hit a small question while editing, ask on Telegram or email; keep the rest for the next session.


Post-Session Support & Follow-up

Our connection doesn’t end when the call finishes:

  • Resource Sharing: Within a few days after each session, I will send you curated links, checklists, and key takeaways via Telegram or email.
  • Short-Term Q&A: I will remain available on chat for minor follow-up questions as you implement changes.
  • LinkedIn Recommendation: If desired, once updates are applied, I’ll gladly write a tailored, professional LinkedIn recommendation highlighting your key strengths.

Session Rules

The numbers in this section are read from the program's own settings, so they always match what the system actually does.

1. Free alignment session

Mondays, 19:00 to 19:30 (30 Minutes) — free, and not counted in the program's sessions or hours.

2. Penalty-free cancellation

Cancel a session up to 12 hours before it starts and its price returns to your wallet.

3. Late cancellation

With less than 12 hours left, 50% of that session's price is kept and the rest returns to your wallet.

4. Replacement session

Cancelling a session adds one to the end of the program so your total stays complete; its cost is recorded as a separate installment.

5. Times and booking

Booking and rescheduling sessions is possible at least 12 hours before they start. All times are in Tehran time.


Scope & Expectations

To ensure complete clarity and alignment before booking, here are a few honest boundaries:

HR & Hiring Connections: I do not have direct affiliations with hiring managers or HR departments, and this program does not include direct referrals or guaranteed job placement.

What is my role here?

Based on my understanding of team structures, company cultures, and industry challenges, I guide you toward the work environments (startups, large enterprises, product-driven, or agency models) that best match your mindset and work style.


Portfolio & Career Impact

Real case study transformations through actionable design critique

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my resume and portfolio. You went through them in great detail and provided valuable feedback on every section. It was genuinely the most insightful mentoring session I’ve ever had. I really appreciate your time, guidance, and support.🙏
Aida B.·Product designer, Ramin24
I had a great mentoring session with shima mohamadian . They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to understand my goals and challenges. Their advice was practical, insightful, and tailored to my situation, which gave me a much clearer direction and increased my confidence. I really appreciated their willingness to answer all my questions and share valuable real-world experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful guidance and meaningful career advice.
Parisa R.·student, azad
Shima's mentoring session with me was excellent and informative and contained useful and practical tips. She very sympathetically expressed the points for my better growth and spent more time with me than the time we had set together.

Book an Alignment Call

Before the program starts, we have a free alignment session (30 Minutes) so I can understand your career goal and the current state of your resume and portfolio, and we can confirm the program fits what you need. If you feel it's time to take a closer, structured look at your resume and portfolio, pick a suitable time from the calendar below.

Booking Steps

  1. 1

    Sign in or sign up

    When you press the booking button and aren't signed in, you're taken to the sign-in page. Your name and phone number come from your account, so you won't be asked for them again.

  2. 2

    Select the session time

    Pick the day from the calendar and a time from that day's available times. A time someone else has just booked is disabled right away.

  3. 3

    Contact information

    Your email and a short note (a question or a topic you'd like us to cover) are optional, but they help me prepare the session properly. If you also send your resume and portfolio link ahead of time, I'll go through them before we meet. Finally, accept the booking and cancellation rules and submit the request.

  4. 4

    Submit and confirmation

    Your request is submitted, and I'll tell you the result by SMS once I've confirmed it. The online meeting link goes live at the scheduled time, and you can follow the booking from your panel too.

Have questions before booking? If you are unsure whether this program fits your current career stage, feel free to drop a message on social channels or messengers to discuss it beforehand.
