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.
I was matched with a wonderful, excellent and informative mentor who encouraged me to keep applying for jobs that matched my experience, skills and competencies.
I came to Canada to pursue better prospects for myself. I knew beforehand that it would not be easy to find a job especially with my educational background and work experience in the area of healthcare services.
Working in Canada can be marvellous, but like anywhere else, Canadian opportunities are often disguised as hard work. They are also not always easy to be found by newcomers.
