- Joseph* is from
the Philippines. He immigrated to Canada in April 2001 with the hopes of
enhancing his already rich career and moving to newer horizons. His
educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronics
and Communications Engineering, and a Master’s Degree in Business
Administration; he has enjoyed several professional development opportunities
in project management, target selection, and quality/control management.
He had worked at reputable and internationally famous companies such as
Siemens and UNISYS in his country, with his last job title being Senior
Project Manager.
Networking and the Internet were the main sources that Joseph utilized to
conduct his job search. When he joined the EAS Program, he had a résumé and
cover letter that he had constructed on his own, getting assistance from
books, Employment Resource Centres, and the Internet. Joseph participated in
the EAS Work Search Strategies Workshop, and he benefited from individual
résumé critique. He was proactive in researching and networking with
companies.
Joseph’s persistence and hard work paid off very quickly. Two months after he
joined EAS, he secured a full-time permanent position as a Project Manager at
a reputable telecommunications company.
