What's New

I came to Edmonton in October 2014 from UK. Through a networking event, I got to know about ERIEC, and I decide to apply to the Career Mentorship Program in June 2015.

I finally got the job and am very grateful to ERIEC for matching me with an excellent mentor like Dorothy. I would like to encourage newcomers to Edmonton to contact ERIEC for their Career Mentorship Program.

At ERIEC, I was paired with an amazing mentor, who was generous with her time and advice. She coached me on job search strategies, interviewing skills and because she had also immigrated to Canada, she empathized with my challenges.

I found out that Canadian Culture in the workplace is very different than back home in so many ways. I realized that if I wanted to get a professional job, I had to overcome my cultural shock by trying to understand Canadian culture.

I couldn’t believe that I was matched with a mentor so soon and her occupational background was also in Human Resources.
