About ClearCareer

Built by a Career Zig-Zagger
Who Gets It

I've been stuck, confused, and unmotivated in my job search. That's exactly why I built ClearCareer.

Izzy Piyale-Sheard

Hi, I'm Izzy

As a career zig-zagger and jack-of-all-trades, I've always struggled to create a coherent career story and showcase my value. I've been tormented by long periods of unemployment, feeling unclear, confused, and unmotivated, stuck in negative cycles that were hard to break.

When I transitioned into tech, I devoured every resource about the industry. Anytime I attended events, people were mesmerized by my energy, resourcefulness, and genuine desire to connect and add value.

Then it clicked: my unique intersection of skills was my value. Partnerships, community, events, mentorship, rapid execution, and problem-solving. That's when job opportunities started to bubble up.

Since 2016, I've been on a mission to create the support network and community I wished I had when I was struggling in silence.

Life Outside the Office

Work Hard, Travel Harder

Before building ClearCareer, I spent years working remotely from 20+ countries. That journey shaped how I think about career design.
