“I feel like I am closer to a successful professional life than I’ve ever been before.”

Work with a coach who gets it.
Veronica Yao is the founder and career coach behind Atypical Careers. Drawing on her lived experience as a neurodivergent professional and her background in marketing, recruitment, HR, and resume writing, she offers practical, compassionate and personalized guidance.
Together, we will help you understand your strengths and build a career that feels sustainable and balanced, so you can live your life the way you want to.
Here’s how we work:
Through 1:1 coaching sessions, Veronica will help you understand your experiences, your strengths, and your challenges so you can make data-driven decisions for your career.
We will define what a sustainable work life looks like for you, and you alone. Then, we’ll create a strategy to help move you towards your goals.
This is not about helping you move up the corporate ladder or earn more “gold stars” - this is about helping you build a life that minimizes burnout and maximizes your capacity for the things that bring you satisfaction in life.

“Unlike with the many college-hosted coaching services I attended, [Veronica] didn't look at my autism as a disadvantage. We honored the unique strengths I could bring to employers—rather than feeling like I needed SOMETHING, I now feel like they need ME!” -

“I went from 9 months of job hunting to having four job offers. Jobs I didn't think I could reach I was now saying no to, and accepting a job so aligned it didn't feel real.” -
