I truly believe that fitting in is overrated.
When you stand in your uniqueness and superpowers, it will open up a world of possibilities and new opportunities.
Hey, I’m Steph, a Career Story Coach.
I focus on empowering individuals to embrace their misfit identity and land their dream job.
I have always felt like an outsider.
I wasn’t girly enough to fit in with the girls but wasn’t boyish enough to fit in with the boys.
Growing up I was so clearly different from my family, I often wondered if I was adopted.
I went to church and asked questions and was told to never question your leaders.
I tried out 32 jobs in 15 years trying to find a place to land, and until now, I never found it.
I spent 2 years running a non-profit and it was the closest thing to feeling like a fit, but with a toxic work environment, it didn’t last.
When I was laid off in 2020, I took some time to really think about what I wanted. I decided to jump full-time into business as a resume writer and later a career coach.
I am the definition of a misfit.
I created the Destination: Dream Job podcast to serve other people who have felt like me.
Maybe you don’t feel like you fit in at work, you don’t know what’s next, or you feel so different that you will never find a place to land.
I get it.
In this podcast, we will cover:
> Identity and Career Clarity: helping you understand and embrace your unique qualities and define your career goals.
> Building Confidence: Fostering self-acceptance and building confidence by using your unique superpowers.
> Job Search Strategy: Equipping you with the skills you need to land your dream job.
I’m so excited to take this journey with you. Let’s live authentically and truly bring our superpowers to the world.

74 | Breaking Barriers: How Immigrants Can Leverage Their Skills for Career Success with Mher Mardoyan
It’s no secret that job hunting is a full-time job in itself, but for immigrants, it often feels like an uphill battle.
This week on the Destination Dream Job Podcast, I spoke with Mher Mardoyan, Career Coach about the challenges immigrants face in the job market.
One of the biggest hurdles? The constant demand for “Canadian experience,” and the tendency to undervalue international experience.
In this episode, we talked about:
🔑 The importance of recognizing the value of global experience and how employers can do better in supporting immigrants.
💼 Practical tips for job seekers, including the seven steps to job search success and how to stay positive during the process.
🌐 Leveraging LinkedIn and networking to build authentic relationships and increase your chances of landing your dream job.
If you're struggling to navigate the job search, especially with the added pressure of being an immigrant, this episode is for you!
Tune in now to hear more about Mher’s advice and insights.
