The story goes like this: A Colombian couple who had just arrived in Montreal, without a good knowledge of French, went to the Maisonnée in search of help for immigrants and we had an excellent reception. They gave us support and guidance for francisation and I had the opportunity to start the program to find employment.
I had the chance to meet Aleida Salmeron who was my advisor, with excellent professional ethics and human warmth she accompanied me during the process of finding employment. She gave me tips and information to keep in mind, on how and where to look for employment, she sent me invitations to events to get to know the work environment better, improve my networking skills, and some excellent days of preparation with interview simulations, resulted in finding a job in a company in the same field in which I have worked all my life in less than 3 months.
Thank you, Aleida, and all La Maisonnée staff for your support! And to anyone reading this, who recently arrived in a new country and culture, DON´T GIVE UP!
