My career wasn’t a straight line—it was a series of pivots, survival jobs, and soul-searching moments. It really began when I decided I couldn’t keep feeling stuck and unfulfilled. I set out to find clarity, reignite my confidence, and create a career that actually made sense for me. That journey led me here—and now I help others do the same.
I’m Olajumoke Fatoki—a career coach, HR strategist, and advocate for newcomers, women, and mid-career professionals trying to build work that fits their life, not the other way around.
On the Thrive Careers Podcast, I share everything I’ve learned from walking that path—plus honest conversations with experts and real people navigating their own career crossroads. Whether you’re job hunting on a Post-Graduate Work Permit, re-entering the workforce after burnout, or trying to grow into leadership, this space is for you.
