Discovering ERIEC: A Game-Changer
Nebat’s turning point came when she discovered ERIEC's Career Mentorship Program (CMP), a partnership with NorQuest College designed to support newcomers in their career journeys. The program offered transformative workshops on Canada's workplace culture, effective communication strategies, and the expectations of the local job market.
Mentorship That Makes a Difference
Paired with her mentor, Disha Patel, Nebat embarked on a path of growth and discovery. Together, they set both short- and long-term career goals, breathing new life into Nebat’s job search strategy. Under Disha's guidance, Nebat transformed her resume from a detailed, generic format to one that resonated with Canadian employers. Her LinkedIn profile also received a complete overhaul, becoming a powerful tool to attract potential opportunities.
Beyond Skills: Rebuilding Self-Confidence
However, the mentorship went beyond practical job search techniques. Despite Nebat's professional achievements abroad, she grappled with imposter syndrome—a common challenge for many newcomers. Disha's unwavering belief in her abilities was a beacon of support. Through encouragement and personalized guidance, Disha helped Nebat recognize the immense value of her international experience, reigniting her self-confidence.
A Network of Support
The journey wasn't without its challenges, but the mentorship and the ERIEC team made all the difference. From Nebat’s first exploratory conversation with Vidya, to the insightful workshops led by Saniya at NorQuest College, and the continuous support from the ERIEC team, she felt empowered every step of the way.
Stepping Forward with Confidence
Today, Nebat stands with renewed confidence and a clear path toward career success in Canada. Her story is a testament to the power of mentorship, community, and resilience.
A Message to Newcomers
To all newcomers navigating their own career paths: remember, with the right support and mindset, success is within reach. ERIEC is here to walk that journey with you, just as we did with Nebat.
