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.
This year’s Edmonton Global Talent Conference drew over two hundred participants to Fantasyland Hotel & Conference Centre last Tuesday March 1, 2016.
Last Saturday, February 13, 2016, Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Council (ERIEC) participated in the Information Fair in Rundle Park.
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.
