Plant the Seeds for Your Career

My Story
🌱 About Me​
​
Hi, I'm Muhammad — the founder of Plant Your Career.
​
My own journey was far from traditional. I started at Michigan State University as a pre-med student and switched to engineering at the end of my sophomore year. I was behind my peers and had no idea how to navigate recruiting — I had never attended a career fair, had zero interview experience, didn’t know how to network, and definitely didn’t have a perfect GPA.
​
But what I did have was the ability to build a strategy — and execute it with discipline and preparation. That changed everything.
Using the exact methods I now teach students, I earned 9 internship offers, completed 5 internships, and received 5 post-grad offers at top Fortune 500 companies. When I shared these strategies with family and friends, they quickly saw the same success, landing offers at top companies.

🌿 What is Plant Your Career
​
Plant Your Career helps students land competitive internships through proven strategies, personalized prep, and confidence-building guidance — all delivered through a structured, strategy-driven approach.
​
I consolidated everything I learned from:
-
my own internship journey and firsthand experience
-
industry recruiters (yes, my wife is one of them)
-
extensive research
​​
These lessons aren’t just for landing your first internship — they’re the seeds that can shape your entire career.

​
🌱 Why I Built Plant Your Career
​
-
Most career advice is basic, generic, and theoretical — not results-driven. Students deserve real, practical, modern strategies, not recycled tips from career centers or coaches with little to no track record of landing internships.
​
-
The job market is constantly evolving. Your strategy should too.
​
-
You don’t need a high GPA or a prestigious school to land internships at top companies. I’ve helped students — including those with GPAs below 3.0 — secure competitive internships by giving them the strategy and preparation they never had before.
​
-
The ROI is real. Completing internships changed my career trajectory — allowing me to secure six-figure roles early in my career while many graduates struggle with unemployment and missed opportunities.
