Part Two of a two-part conversation: Miguel is a former leader in a top Mexican coffee company now residing in Canada. Despite impressive credentials, his early years here were defined by survival jobs, shaking his confidence. With resilient determination and mentorship, he transformed his path, achieving his "Canadian Dream." Today, Miguel helps countless newcomers find meaningful employment faster.
In this second part of our conversation, we discuss:
- The Power of Networking: Luki emphasizes the importance of not just knowing people but also being known by senior executives. He shares his experience of doing excellent work but not getting promoted as quickly as others who were better connected.
- Bridging Cultural Gaps: Luki's journey of bridging his Eastern and Western identities is a testament to the power of embracing different mindsets and possibilities. He encourages individuals to explore different career paths and not limit themselves to traditional professions.
- Challenges for International Students: Luki discusses the struggles international students face when looking for work. He advises them to translate academic knowledge into tangible experiences such as part-time jobs or internships and to familiarize themselves with the local culture.
