What does it truly take for international talent to thrive in Canada? Beyond skills and qualifications, success hinges on something more fundamental - mindset, clarity, and strategic planning.
Yauhan Mehta, an industrial-organizational psychologist and career coach with 15 years of experience, unravels the complex journey of immigration through his own story of moving from India to Dubai and finally to Canada. Having helped hundreds of professionals secure positions at top firms like Amazon, Deloitte, and EY, Yauhan brings a unique perspective on what makes international talent stand out in a competitive job market.
Many newcomers arrive with dreams of quick settlement, only to face unexpected challenges. "Students and international talents come with a lot of hope, a lot of aspirations that Canada is the dream... But guess what? That rarely happens," Yauhan reflects. The solution begins with controlling what you can control and maintaining unwavering self-belief despite rejections. This psychological foundation proves crucial for immigrants navigating their new reality.
Yauhan introduces his powerful concept of "soul searching before job searching" - a three-step approach that transforms career transitions. First, develop a positive mindset. Second, gain absolute clarity about your career direction before crafting applications. Third, create a strategic plan to bridge any qualification gaps. This methodical approach has helped countless international professionals overcome the common pitfall of sending countless unfocused applications with minimal results.
The most inspiring takeaway? International talent should view their immigrant experience as a strength rather than a disadvantage. "International talent are the most adaptable, courageous and they're the most resilient talent out there," Yohan emphasizes. Your multilingual abilities, cultural adaptability, and global perspective are unique selling points that set you apart.
Join us for this empowering conversation that will transform how you view the immigrant journey and provide actionable strategies to achieve your professional goals in Canada. Whether you're an international student, a recent immigrant, or considering a move abroad, Yauhan's insights offer the blueprint for turning challenges into stepping stones toward success.
