​@@FunkeLemodear funke please I'd like to ask a question I and hubby are planning on coming to Canada, he is applying for his masters but my fear of getting something doing when we get there has been the issue of me not buying the idea. What would you suggest ma, I only have my OND certificate handy and will be done with my Bsc in August this year , also have a 8years of banking experience in customer service, have good computer skills and also have some certifications in care courses gotten from cousera and caredemy.

I loved your video which i bumbed into a few minutes ago. You have a new subby😊 Quick question ladies, you mentioned that you got a job 2 and 3 months respectively, which means that you arrived in canada without jobs. If you dont mind, please share how you got to Canada, ie which visas did you use

[@olayinkabisiriyu4883]

Hi Funke, you can actually work as a supply teacher if you have education degree back home.

[@FunkeLemo]

yeah, I know that

[@queenakaniru3887]

I just bumped into this video now and I am glad I did. I enjoyed every bit of it and I already subscribed. Coming to Canada as a masters student, how many hours can I work in a day. Secondly please is there a way I can private chat you to help me out with modifying my resume to Canadian standard so I don’t get to stay for a long time before getting a job. I will really appreciate your feedback.

[@FunkeLemo]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Flourish_today]

If you had that mentality in 2008, you would have been fine because jobs were so available then and things were more lax. But after covid things drastically changed.

[@FunkeLemo]

Times have changed Indeed

[@El_Debbie]

The reality shock is so real, It was almost frustrating to realize that masters degree was not an advantage as much as I had expected

[@FunkeLemo]

My sisturrrrrr😂😂😂

[@MsRenaissance]

Thank you ladies, great video very encouraging. Ive been in Canada since September 2023 as a student doing my master's in Toronto. I have not yet secured a job. I think some of what you said may be the reason. My resume is still a big issue i haven't mastered how to adapt the resume to the Canadian style and i keep putting on it my qualifications and experience from back home which as you said may cause the employer to wonder if you're this qualified why are you applying for this job. Is there anyway I can reach out to you privately to share my resume and get some tips on how to change it?

[@FunkeLemo]

I am so glad you find this video helpful. You can send me an email, we can talk from there 😊

[@MsRenaissance]

Insightful, thank you for this. Is it easy getting a teaching job in Canada, with B. Sc Education and teaching for many years, although coming to do Masters in education or social work.

[@FunkeLemo]

Yes, absolutely, All you need is to get the write documents to get liscenced. Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3XKgmZ5op2Nd6ssi=SARCNIOIF2Lcpb_T

[@user-ku4hj7ht6q]

Good content. What are examples of keywords for the resume`?

[@laraonipede745]

It depends on your profession. A customer service resume key words will differ from that of a health care professional. Use google or chat gpt to find what yours should be. If you are a data scientist for example, ask google this: what are the key words a data scientist resume should contain. I hope this helps.

[@Tdans]

Thank you very much, both of you are great. Please can you help me with a sample of accepted resume. Bless you

Is it that people are naive or they are just too lazy to do their homework? You land another man's country and you think you'll get a job the next day..........I don't get it😅 In your own country, people stay for years and can't even get minimum wage jobs and then you expect to get a job as you land. Do you due diligence before you leave your home country

[@FunkeLemo]

You are absolutely right! Sometimes we blame it on Ignorance but in the actual sense we didn’t do our due diligence of finding out what works 😊

[@laraonipede745]

Sometimes, it’s the pressure that accompanies relocating, people get busy planning other things but their career.

[@Flourish_today]

They plan more for the food they have to bring with them. I've seen so many of them bring all sorts of foods because the only research they have done is that Nigerian food is expensive. So they pack all the palm oil and forget to research employment 😅
