Let’s talk about getting jobs (picture from LinkedIn)!
I know some of you are in my inbox getting pissed about losing jobs and not getting the type of jobs you deserve. Listen! Tech skills are the new gold!
One person here wrote to me last week who got a job within 3 weeks of landing in Canada as a data analytics specialist with a starting salary of 80K. He came to ask if he lowballed himself. Yes, he did but it’s not a bad place to start from.
I did a session at #AfricanBussinessClub2020 discussing industry 4.0 and stressed Digital Marketing as one of these skills. You didn’t attend that session, you need to go find it and watch it. As a new immigrant, your competitive advantage is tech skills!
Regular skills have saturated the market and your regular skills are no longer providing competitive advantages. The oil and gas market has crashed and regular engineering degrees isn’t cashing in. You need to thinking of the right tech skills to ads if you must stay competitive.
Covid has also expanded tech skill markets and there is no better time than now to get your skills aligned. Do you need a personalized session to analyze your skills and experience and help you understand what you need to acquire for skills?
I am opening up a one session slot on my mentorship program just for this. Come and chat me up for information. You have not moved abroad to suffer, let’s help you stand out and start winning.
Wondering why your LinkedIn exploration isn’t working? You don’t have the right tools in your toolbox and don’t have the competitive skills that the market needs. Let’s get the skills aligned and then go tap LinkedIn like this guy.
