Newcomers have many challenges to face when they try to find employment in Canada. The impact of cultural differences in recruiting and the misunderstandings can lead immigrants to be unsuccessful in their job search for reasons unrelated to their ability to perform the job in question. One of the biggest challenges is the fact that the majority of the jobs are filled through internal posting and internal referrals. All these are a real issue!
My friends and I, are willing to guide you to become better prepared to overcome the adaptation challenges in Canada, and to achieve your goals. Can you imagine how is it when you feel confident and prepared because you have the "tools"?
I remember, it took me a few months, maybe more than that, to understand the meaning of "Don't take it personally!" in the Canadian reality. Then, I learned about how to become a better communicator by being assertive, and not appearing aggressive when communicating with others. Later on, I learned about the "wrap your feedback in four-layers of paper" concept, and I noticed amazing results when I applied it in my communication . And so on... I became a student of people, psychology, management and change.
Today, I am serving my community... in ways that reflect my commitment to co-workers, customers, and friends; and show my appreciation for the help and support they and the community have given me. My objective is to help, encourage and inspire others to succeed in their undertaking!
You are in Canada by the "power of your choice", and you have the power to choose whatever your heart wants in Canada. You can choose to continue to work in your field or you can follow some other old or new dream and make it come through. YOU choose what to focus on, and you are what you think about yourself. Your beliefs about the world, make your reality. Your words are your truth.

"No matter what situation you are in right now, there is a purpose to that situation…. By working with the specific conditions in front of you, you will begin to discover things about yourself that will give you clues to the next step. Your job will be to look, listen, feel, choose, and act." ~ Carol Adrienne

Sometimes, for people that come from countries where social relationships are very deep, frequent and intense, Canada may seem at the beginning not to offer the same opportunities to achieve this social connection. But it is just a matter of time and effort in trying to connect with other individuals, within your own community or outside your community. You meet really fantastic people.
ReplyDelete"Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results." - Dr. Covey
