“Ahmed helped change my mindset from evaluating individual job opportunities to being intentional about plotting a long-term career trajectory. He has consistently given me the advice that I need to hear, even if it is not what I might want to hear, and as a result I know he genuinely has my best interests at heart. Because he has structured DesignForce to engage with employers based on their long-term goals rather than immediate job openings, I can feel comfortable openly discussing my career objectives and seek guidance without having to worry about any conflict of interest tied to a job posting placement fee. Ahmed's guidance will benefit anyone planning a career in the built environment, whether considering a new role or happy in their current position.”
