What we offer

Every service built around your story.

From your first resume to a business website to the operating system of your professional life, everything we do is designed to make you clearer, sharper, and harder to ignore.

01

Career Roadmap

The foundation

Before you write a single word or send a single application, you need clarity. Where are you actually going? What story are you telling? What makes you the obvious choice? The Career Roadmap is a full strategic session where we define your positioning, identify your target, and build the plan that makes everything else coherent and compelling: your resume, your LinkedIn, your pitch. And it does not stop when you land the role. We help you build your roadmap inside a new position too: how you grow, how you document your impact, and how you set yourself up for what comes next.

02

Resume Writing

Your first impression

Most resumes list what you did. Yours will show what you changed, what you built, and why it mattered. We write it from scratch, no templates, no filler, no generic bullet points dressed up with action verbs. Every line is written to position you precisely for the role you want, in the voice of someone who actually knows their value. Because a recruiter drowning in near-identical documents will stop at yours. Every resume also goes through an ATS compatibility check, so your document survives the software screen before it ever reaches human eyes. And because one document never fits every application, we show you exactly how to adapt it for each role in minutes, not hours.

LinkedIn Profile Optimization

Your digital presence

LinkedIn is no longer optional. It is where recruiters verify you, where opportunities find you, and where your professional story lives permanently. We rewrite your headline, summary, and experience to do three things: rank in search, communicate your value instantly, and make the right people want to reach out. Your profile should be opening doors, not closing them. Beyond the rewrite, we audit your settings, your featured section, and your visibility strategy, so the algorithm starts working for you instead of against you. You leave with a profile that ranks in recruiter search and a simple routine to keep it active without living on the platform.

04

Career Coaching

The partner in your corner

Sometimes what you need is not another document, it is someone who will sit with you, understand where you actually are, and help you think through what comes next with honesty and without judgment. Career Coaching is ongoing, structured support for the moments that matter: a pivot you are unsure about, a role you are doubting, a version of yourself you are trying to build. We work on how you think, how you communicate, and how you show up, because those are the things that actually determine where you end up.

05

Interview Prep & Job Search Strategy

From search to offer

Most job searches fail not because of qualifications, but because of approach and performance. We fix both. We build a targeted search strategy around your positioning, the right companies, the right roles, the right outreach, and we run full mock interview sessions to make sure you are ready when the room matters. How you structure your answers, how you carry yourself, how you close. You will not just be prepared. You will be the candidate they cannot stop thinking about.

Signature
06

Personal Portfolio Website

Your corner of the internet

For professionals who want to stand out, a personal portfolio site is no longer a nice-to-have. It is the one place where your story, your work, your voice, and your personality live together, fully in your control. We design and build yours from scratch: clean, fast, memorable, and written to position you exactly the way you want to be seen. Whether you are a designer, a PM, an engineer, or a consultant, you deserve a home on the internet.

07

Business Website

For businesses ready to be seen

A business without a proper web presence is invisible. We build websites for small businesses, startups, and independent operators who need more than a template, they need a site that communicates credibility, converts visitors, and reflects the real quality of what they offer. From the copy to the design to the structure, every decision is made with your customer in mind. We handle the full journey: domain, hosting, copy, design, and launch, then hand you a site you actually own and can update without calling a developer every time something changes. Fast to load, simple to manage, and built to make the right first impression every time someone searches your name.

08

Digital Product Strategy

From idea to roadmap

Whether you are an entrepreneur with a product concept, a founder preparing for development, or a team that needs clarity before building, we turn ideas into structured plans. We facilitate MVP scoping, define the product vision, write the PRD, map the user flows, and prepare everything a development team needs to execute. No vague briefs. No wasted sprints. Just a clear, defensible plan you can actually build from. You walk away with a complete product package: vision document, PRD, user flows, and a prioritized roadmap, ready to hand to any development team and defend in any stakeholder meeting. Built by someone who has shipped products, not just planned them.

09

Notion Consultancy

The operating system for your life and work

I did not just start using Notion. I rebuilt my entire professional and personal life inside it. My job search. My career documentation. My learning systems. My project tracking. My thinking. Every part of how I operate runs through a Notion workspace I designed from scratch, and over time, it became the single most powerful productivity shift I have ever made. I now help individuals and teams do the same: build a Notion system that actually fits how they think, eliminates the chaos, and becomes the operating system they never knew they needed. If your digital life feels scattered, this is where we fix it.

Why the AI tools let you down

You tried the AI tools. So did everyone else.

A tool in untrained hands doesn't help you stand out, it helps you blend in.

The same handful of AI tools are now in everyone’s browser. Every candidate is using them. Every resume is starting to sound the same, confident, competent, and completely interchangeable. Every LinkedIn profile hits the same beats. Every portfolio site uses the same layout. Recruiters and clients are drowning in near-identical output that says nothing and sounds like no one. When the tool is universal, the output is average by definition.

We use AI too, but we actually know how to wield it. We know what produces something worth reading, what needs a human edit, and where the tool ends and the real work begins. The result sounds like the best version of you, not a template handed to ten thousand other people. And it extends far beyond your resume: your LinkedIn, your portfolio, your website, your pitch, your interview answers, your whole presence can either be shaped with skill or left to chance.

Who we are

We exist to transform lives. One honest conversation, one career, one calling at a time.

Lodestar is a career partner, not a vending machine. We were born from a simple belief: that finding the right work is one of the most life-changing things a person can do, and that nobody should have to navigate it alone, armed only with generic tools and recycled advice.

So we built something more human. We combine the precision of AI, used with real skill and not on autopilot, with sincere and honest guidance from someone who has actually lived the full arc of it: the rejections, the pivots, the rebuilds, and the breakthroughs. Someone who engineered a career move from nothing, who coached themselves relentlessly through every setback, who documented every lesson with brutal honesty, and who made it their life’s work to make sure others do not have to figure it out alone.

No templates pretending to be strategy. No disappearing once the invoice is paid. No recycled frameworks dressed up as personalised advice. Just a real partner who is genuinely invested in your outcome, before the offer, and long after.

Our mission

Transform lives through real guidance.

To give every person, at every stage, honest and sincere career support that helps them find and pursue their calling, not just their next paycheck. To make genuine human guidance accessible where the industry offers only cold tools or overpriced templates.

Our vision

A world where no one navigates alone.

A future where nobody settles for good enough. Where everyone has a trusted partner in their corner. Where finding meaningful work is a journey of growth, not a lonely, anxious gamble.

Career Partner - Product Manager - Project Manager

I left Lebanon with one suitcase and a lot of uncertainty. No mapped-out plan, no five-year roadmap. Just an instinct that staying still was more dangerous than moving into the unknown. What followed was five years of building myself, piece by piece, across countries, setbacks, and a few moments I would not wish on anyone.

There were stretches of real depression. A pandemic that froze the world just as I was finding my footing. A natural disaster in the city I had fallen in love with. A war touching my homeland from thousands of miles away. A job market that kept saying no. An automated system that rejected my application before a human ever read it.

Between the setbacks, I was building obsessively. Not because someone handed me a plan, but because something in me refused to let the silence be wasted. I became my own coach before I understood what that meant. I learned to read my own instincts the way others read maps, to trust the inner signal before the outer evidence arrived. I chased discomfort on purpose, again and again, because I had learned to recognize it as the exact shape of where growth lives. The world kept closing doors. I kept building rooms.

Engineering was not a calling. It was the path a whole generation walked without questioning: a society that handed ambitious young men a degree and called it a future. I spent those years chasing a clarity that the curriculum could not give me, which taught me something it never intended to: how to recognize the difference between a career path and a calling.

Germany came next. Two and a half years of starting over in a language that was not mine, in a culture that did not know what to do with me, in a job market that kept returning my applications without a word. It was the quietest, most useful period of my life. I learned German. I read everything. I built routines and kept them like contracts with myself. I joined every community that would make me sharper. I had decided, alone and without evidence, that I was going to become someone. Depression came. I met it, worked through it, and kept going.

Spain was where the answer arrived. A master's in Technology and Engineering Management. A thesis on AI-driven business transformation, researched and written before AI became everyone's talking point. And somewhere inside that journey, I discovered product management, and it felt like finally reading a book written in my language. The intersection of people, systems, strategy, and the obsessive need to understand what users need before they know how to ask. I had been practicing this without a name for years. Now it had one.

I came back with the knowledge. What I did not have was the role.

So I built the entry the hard way. I studied hundreds of job descriptions with a researcher's obsession, not to copy the language but to decode what the market actually rewarded. I rebuilt my own resume more than fifteen times, each version teaching me something the previous one could not. I learned what makes a profile get read and what makes it disappear. I learned the difference between a CV that lists experience and a narrative that makes a hiring manager feel like they have already found the person they were looking for. I sent applications until the market said no so many times it stopped feeling personal and started feeling like data. I always found a way through.

Then I earned real product management experience at companies others spent years trying to enter. First in Spain, where I owned a live product for the first time. Then back in Lebanon, at two of the most recognized technology organizations in the region. I walked in with less on paper than most candidates in those rooms. I left having delivered more than they expected. Shipped features. Closed sprints. And all of it confirmed what the obsession had told me years earlier.

None of it was planned. Friends would show me their resumes and I could not stop myself. I would rebuild them from the ground up. The calls turned into strategy sessions. I built Notion systems for people the way I had built them for myself: turning chaos into clarity, turning scattered experience into a story that moved. Writing became a daily discipline. Every person I helped made me sharper. People were landing interviews, then offers, then calling to tell me what happened. That pattern became impossible to ignore.

"I have lived the rejections and the breakthroughs, from both sides. What I offer is not a template. It is the clarity and honesty I wish someone had given me."

That is what Lodestar is. Not a service. A commitment. Your story, told properly, from the first draft to the day you accept the offer.

This Privacy Policy explains how Lodestar Careers ("Lodestar Careers," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you visit our website at lodestarcareers.co, create an account, book a consultation, subscribe to our free guides, or use any of our services.

We are based in Beirut, Lebanon, and primarily subject to Lebanese Law No. 81 of 2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data. Because we also serve clients in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA), we take into account the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when handling the personal data of those users.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, contact us at: guide@lodestarcareers.co

2. Who We Are and Scope of This Policy

Lodestar Careers is a career coaching and services platform operated by Rayan Khattar as a sole operator. We provide resume writing and CV optimization, LinkedIn profile optimization, career coaching (1:1 sessions), interview preparation and job search strategy, career roadmap consulting (pre-hire and post-hire phases), cover letter writing, personal branding, and Notion productivity consultancy.

This Privacy Policy applies to visitors to our website, users who create an account, individuals who book consultations via Calendly, individuals who submit forms on our website (contact forms, booking forms, free guides sign-up), and clients who engage with us for paid services.

3. Data Controller

For the purposes of Lebanese Law No. 81 of 2018 and, where applicable, the GDPR, the data controller is: Lodestar Careers, Beirut, Lebanon. Email: guide@lodestarcareers.co

4. Personal Data We Collect

4.1 Data You Provide Directly

Account and authentication data (Supabase): email address and hashed password.

Booking data (Calendly): name, email address, preferred time slot and time zone, and responses to pre-booking questions (current career situation, service of interest, goals).

Free guides sign-up: name, email address, and information about which guides you downloaded.

Contact and booking forms: name, email address, country or region (if requested), service(s) of interest, and any free-text messages you choose to send.

Service delivery data: when you engage us for paid services, you may share your CV, employment history, education, skills, achievements, career goals, preferences, notes from sessions, and documents we prepare or edit for you.

4.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, and pages visited with time, date, and referring URL.

4.3 Data from Third Parties

We may receive booking details from Calendly, payment confirmation data (name, email, transaction ID, amount) from Wise, PayPal, Stripe, or Whish Money, and email delivery status information from Resend.

5. Why We Process Your Personal Data

To provide our services: creating and managing your account, scheduling and holding sessions, reviewing and editing your documents, delivering free guides, and responding to inquiries. Legal basis: performance of a contract and legitimate interests.

To communicate with you: sending booking confirmations, reminders, service updates, and support responses. Legal basis: performance of a contract, legitimate interests, and where required, consent.

To send relevant content: sending the free PDF guides you requested and occasional updates about new services or resources. You can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe link or emailing guide@lodestarcareers.co. Legal basis: consent and legitimate interests.

To improve our services: analysing website usage in aggregate form and improving coaching methods based on anonymised information. Legal basis: legitimate interests.

To comply with legal obligations: maintaining records for accounting, tax, and legal compliance. Legal basis: compliance with legal obligations.

6. How We Store and Protect Your Data

We use the following third-party providers: Supabase (user authentication and data storage, US-based), Calendly (booking management, US-based), Resend (transactional email, using EU-region infrastructure where applicable), Cloudflare (hosting, DNS, edge Workers, global infrastructure), and Wise, PayPal, Stripe, and Whish Money (payment processing).

We implement hashed passwords via Supabase authentication, HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, and limit access to personal data to the founder and operator only. Despite these measures, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. International Data Transfers

Because we are based in Lebanon and use service providers in the United States and the EU, your personal data may be transferred across borders. For EU/EEA users, we aim to ensure adequate protection applies by relying on data processing agreements, standard contractual clauses, and technical measures such as encryption. Contact us at guide@lodestarcareers.co with any questions about international transfers.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

Account data: kept while your account is active. Deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period following an account deletion request.

Consultation and service data: kept for the duration of our engagement and up to 3 to 5 years afterwards for record-keeping and dispute purposes, unless you request earlier deletion and no legal obligations require continued retention.

Lead magnet and mailing list data: kept until you unsubscribe or we no longer need to send you communications.

Technical logs: kept for a limited period for security and maintenance purposes.

9. How We Share Your Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data and do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

We may share your data with service providers (Supabase, Calendly, Resend, Cloudflare, Wise, PayPal, Stripe, Whish Money) who process data on our behalf only as necessary to provide their services to us, with professional and legal advisors when legally required, and with authorities where required by law or to protect our rights.

10. Your Rights

Under Lebanese Law No. 81 of 2018, you may have the right to access, rectify, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data.

If you are in the EU/EEA, you have additional rights under the GDPR: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at guide@lodestarcareers.co. We may verify your identity before responding and aim to respond within any deadlines required by applicable law.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use strictly necessary cookies for security and core site functions (such as Cloudflare security cookies and session cookies). These cannot usually be disabled via cookie banners but can be controlled through your browser settings. We do not currently use marketing or advanced analytics cookies that require consent. If this changes, we will provide a consent mechanism where required by applicable law.

12. Children's Privacy

Our services are aimed at adults and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at guide@lodestarcareers.co and we will take steps to delete it.

13. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, Calendly or payment processors). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

Cancellations and rescheduling by you: please do so at least 24 hours before the scheduled time using the link provided or by contacting guide@lodestarcareers.co.
