Canada’s job market is shifting.
Your career strategy needs to shift too.



2025 isn’t the job market many hoped for.
🚨 Job postings are down 9% compared to last year.
🚨 Unemployment is rising, and job searches are taking longer.
🚨 Competition is tougher than ever—even for entry-level roles.



But here’s the truth: opportunity still exists—if you know where to look.
🔹 Network strategically—connections open doors when job boards don’t.
🔹 Upskill in high-demand fields—AI, cybersecurity, and data are hiring.
🔹 Consider contract roles—companies need skilled professionals, fast.
🔹 Explore emerging sectors—healthcare, education, and engineering are growing.
🔹 Stay flexible—small cities and remote work offer hidden opportunities.
🔹 Master digital skills—the future of work is online.

The job market is changing.

The question is: Are you?
Take control. Adapt. Thrive.

One small oversight cost him his dream job—don’t let it happen to you.

A friend of mine applied for his dream role at a top tech company. He spent weeks perfecting his resume, preparing for interviews, and anxiously waiting for that golden email invitation.

But it never came.

Days passed, then weeks. Frustrated, he assumed he had been rejected—until one day, he checked his spam folder.

There it was. The interview invite.

By the time he saw it, the deadline had passed. The opportunity of a lifetime, gone with a single missed click.

👉 Lesson learned? Always check your spam folder. That one small habit could be the difference between missing an opportunity and landing your dream job.

Job hunting is exhausting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Let’s make sure you stand out from the crowd and never miss another career-changing opportunity.

"I thought hard work was enough—until I learned this the hard way."
Early in my career, I believed that my efforts would automatically be recognized if I put in the hours, delivered results, and stayed committed. But, reality hit me when I saw others getting promotions while my work stayed unnoticed.
That’s when I realized that hard work alone isn’t enough.
You need to make your contributions visible. Here’s how:
🔹 Send Weekly Updates: Keep your manager informed about your progress and wins. This isn't bragging—it's ensuring your efforts are recognized.
🔹 Track Your Impact: Maintain a document where you list:
✅ Critical client problems you solved
✅ Mistakes you learned from
✅ Situations where you took initiative
✅ Times you gave feedback or handled conflicts
Not only will this help during performance reviews, but it’ll also prepare you for interviews and promotions.
I wish someone had told me this earlier. But now, I help professionals avoid the same mistake.

2024: A Year of Growth, Milestones, and Unforgettable Moments

This year has been nothing short of extraordinary! 🎉 From graduating with my master’s degree from a foreign university (the first in my family to achieve this), landing my first job in Canada, and witnessing the breathtaking aurora borealis, a full solar eclipse, and a blue whale – three rare phenomena many never get to experience in a lifetime – I feel incredibly blessed.

I’ve travelled to amazing places, made new friends, and finally launched my YouTube channel after three years of contemplation. Of course, there were some mistakes along the way, but every stumble came with valuable lessons.

I am deeply grateful to my parents, my husband, my friends, and my wonderfully supportive audience. Your encouragement keeps me going.

As we step into 2025, I’m looking forward to more learning, growth, and exciting opportunities for all of us! I plan to create more videos and events aimed at job seekers and those starting from scratch.

If you’re looking for a mentor who’s built everything from the ground up, I invite you to subscribe to my channel. I promise – you won’t regret it! 💪

Here’s to another amazing year ahead for us all. Cheers to 2025! 🥂

“How Are You?”: The Interview Question You’re Underestimating

Picture this: You walk into the interview, shake hands, and hear the question, “How are you?”
Most people say, “I’m fine, thanks.” But why not use this moment to shine?

Here’s what I said in a recent interview:
"I’m doing great! I’m excited about this opportunity and ready to share how I can contribute to your team."
That small shift turned a routine question into a memorable first impression. It showed enthusiasm, set a positive tone, and made me stand out.

Your Career Growth Doesn’t Stop at “You’re Hired”
You’ve landed the job, but how do you keep growing and advancing in your career?
For me, the answer was networking and finding mentors. I now have three incredible mentors:
One for PM skills,
One for BA expertise,
And one to guide me in my career journey.
So how did I find them? Coffee chats and genuine connections. It’s that simple.
Networking isn’t about asking for favours or impressing someone with your credentials. It’s about genuine connection and curiosity.
Ask thoughtful questions.
Be genuinely interested in their story.
And most importantly, listen and learn from their experiences.
The surprising part? I’ve found that most people are eager to help. You just need to take that first step to reach out.
Whether you're looking for a mentor, advice on growing your career in Canada, or a roadmap to strengthen your skills, I can help!
Book a 1:1 session with me and let’s dive deep into your career goals. Together, we’ll build a path for your success.
