“You don’t have Canadian experience.”
Just like you, when I arrived in Canada years ago, I was excited, full of hope, and maybe a bit uncertain.
I had left behind a successful career and years of experience, ready to take on new challenges in Canada.
But I soon realized that things were different here—much different than I expected.
The job market seemed tough, and despite all my qualifications, I kept hearing the same phrase: “You don’t have Canadian experience.”
It felt like a wall, one that many immigrants face.
When I arrived, I thought my years of professional experience would open doors.
But like you, I was met with rejections, silence after applications, and a feeling that maybe I wasn’t as qualified as I thought.
It was frustrating, and it would have been easy to give up, settle for something far below my abilities, or lose hope.
But here’s the thing: persistence—the refusal to give up—is what makes the difference.
You’re not alone in this, and just as I found my way, so can you. The key is to keep adapting, learning, and pushing forward despite the setbacks.
In my next post, I’ll share the top six strategies I used to find my way to success in the Canadian job market.

When job hunting or navigating tough situations at work, it’s easy to worry: “What if I don’t get the job?” “What if my boss doesn’t like my work?” Etc.
These worries are normal, but they shouldn’t hold you back.
The key is to focus on what you can control: preparation and effort.
Here’s how:
↳ Be Prepared: Research the company and practice common interview questions. Align your skills with what the employer needs.
↳ Highlight Your Strengths: Ensure your resume and interview responses clearly showcase your skills and achievements.
↳ Ask for Feedback: Regularly seek feedback on your performance to demonstrate your commitment to improvement.
↳ Make Connections: Build positive relationships with coworkers and supervisors to foster a supportive work environment.
↳ Learn from Challenges: Use setbacks as opportunities to grow and refine your approach.
You can`t control everything, but by focusing on what you can, you`ll handle challenges with confidence.

Here are two facts most employers don’t want you to know about your salary negotiation, but I’ll tell you:
1. The employer wants you to negotiate, this demonstrates your understanding of your worth
2. There’s always more on the table if you know how to ask, which is why pay bands exist
Most professionals make at least one of these mistakes:
↳ They are unfamiliar with the company’s compensation practices.
↳ They view negotiations as a battle.
↳ They focus solely on negotiating salary.
↳ They assume they know their worth.
↳ They become rigid at the negotiation table.
↳ They fail to adapt to new information.
↳ They wait too long to propose a salary.
↳ They talk too much after asking for what they want.
↳ They get too attached to an offer.
↳ They don’t properly document the agreement.
You don’t have to settle.
Ask for more. The key is to know how to ask

I’ve applied for over 600 jobs, worked multiple shifts in warehouses, and experienced countless rejections.
Each of these experiences, though tough, taught me valuable lessons about resilience, adaptation, and the importance of continual self-improvement.
My journey to where I am today wasn’t straightforward or easy. Like many of you, I’ve faced the daunting task of job searching, the sting of rejection, and the challenge of starting anew in a foreign country.
You deserve a great job and a great salary. But sometimes, life throws challenges in our path: being fired, layoffs, gaps in your resume, or being a new immigrant. I’m here to tell you that none of these should disqualify you from pursuing the career you desire.
I’ve learned that freedom in your career doesn’t come from landing the perfect job—it comes from the continuous pursuit of improvement and the resilience to overcome setbacks. Here’s how you can navigate this period:
+ Understand Your Value
↳ Know what you bring to the table, regardless of the gaps in your employment or your background. Your unique experiences and skills are assets.
+ Keep Learning
↳ Invest in your personal and professional development. Whether it’s learning a new skill or enhancing existing ones, staying updated is key.
+ Network Intelligently
↳ Connect with professionals in your desired industry. Networking isn’t just about exchanging business cards; it’s about building mutually beneficial relationships.
+ Stay Positive
↳ Each rejection is a step closer to the right opportunity. Maintain a positive outlook and keep pushing forward.
“Keep improving yourself.” These words aren’t just a motto; they are a mindset that has guided me through my toughest times. Each step you take builds a path to your future.
↳ Let’s Talk
I’d love to hear about your journey and the obstacles you’ve faced in your career path. How do you stay motivated? What have you learned from your challenges?
Together, let’s redefine what success looks like by embracing our journeys and supporting each other through the highs and lows.
If you need help navigating these phases, DM `Pivot` for more details, and let’s get started!...

Losing a job or being out of work is tough, but it doesn’t change your worth. Whether you`re a leader, just starting out, or new to the country, remember—your value isn’t tied to your job title.
I’ve been there too, starting over in a new place with a lot of uncertainty. But here’s the truth: your skills and experience still matter, even if you’re not employed right now. This is just one part of your journey, not the whole story.
Take some time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished so far and where you want to go next. Don’t let doubts hold you back. Instead, focus on refining your resume, building your personal brand, and networking. Every connection could lead to something new.
Stay strong and keep moving forward. This might be the perfect opportunity to try something different—whether it’s learning new skills, exploring freelance work, or volunteering. Every step counts.
Remember, the job market is constantly changing, especially for immigrants and career changers. The person hiring you today might have been in your shoes not long ago. The key is to keep going, adapt, and believe in yourself. You’re not starting from zero—you’re starting with experience.
So, don’t be afraid of new opportunities or challenges. The right job will come, and when it does, you’ll be ready—not just because you have a job, but because you’ve grown stronger along the way.

Let`s face it—conflicts are inevitable. However, how we handle them defines our success.
I’ve noticed that workplace tension often arises when people don’t feel truly understood due to the lack of a safe environment. This can lead to burnout and, at times, disengagement.
It’s not always about more communication; it’s about fostering a culture of empathy and curiosity. By encouraging teams to ask questions and explore the ‘why’ behind actions, we can shift the typical conflict response.
Targeted training in conflict resolution and respectful communication is crucial. It equips teams with the tools needed to constructively navigate misunderstandings and break free from the cycle of blame and reactive behaviors.
Additionally, engaging a coach can have a profound impact on team dynamics by providing an objective perspective and facilitating real-time conflict resolution.
This not only builds trust but also empowers teams to manage future tensions more effectively.
I’m curious—what’s your experience with communication and workplace conflict?
If you got value from this, like, comment, and share to your network.
