Raya's Story

Raya and her partner immigrated to Canada from Eastern Europe in 2022. Upon arriving in Calgary, she reached out to Calgary Career Hub for advice on effective job search techniques in Canada.

The team of employment specialists at Calgary Career Hub identified some improvements to the format of Raya's resume that would increase her chances of getting noticed. Raya also participated in workshops and one-on-one seminars for self-marketing on LinkedIn, cover letter writing, and interview preparation.

"The workshops were packed with value and useful information. They were easy to understand and implement, and the examples provided were on-point." After a few workshops and pointers from staff, Raya was ready to take control of her job search. She applied for and landed a highly coveted job

as a Senior Project Manager in the custom software industry. Raya says, "This achievement helped me tremendously. It allowed me to settle in Calgary and set me up for success in Canada."

It can be difficult to start again in a new country. The Canadian job market is unique in many ways. The friendly and dedicated staff at Calgary Career Hub provide expert advice on optimizing your resume and cover letter for Canadian employers. "The skills and insights I learned will last, and I will use them in the future for all employment endeavors."

Raya, From all of us at Calgary Career Hub -CONGRATULATIONS!
