E58: Mujidah Sakibu knows how you can get a job in Canada

"The problem was never your qualifications. It's how you're applying for jobs."

The job market is brutal, and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. This can be discouraging for new immigrants to Canada or those looking to move.

I mean, the bills don’t wait. Plus, they can quickly rack up, especially if you’ve got a family or dependents. So, in a bid to make sure you get over this hump as fast as possible, most new immigrants go into an application frenzy.

Is this good or bad? The experts say you should get in as many applications as possible.

Mujidah Sakibu has a slight tweak to this process. Remember folks, jobs might have the same title but different organizational needs. And then you also have the fact that we all have what we are really good at.

However, desperation to get that first offer means we forget this. And that’s okay, honestly.

But what if you could approach job hunting 5X better?

Mujidah joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about the job-hunting process that enabled her to get a six-figure job within seven weeks of landing in Canada. We also chat about:

  • Her two failed attempts to immigrate

  • Mistakes immigrants make when looking for their first job

  • And how settling into Canada was a bit easier because of her experience in Belgium.

I know the job market is tough folks. Sending you love and light. You’ve got this!

If you’ve gotten this far, you should probably subscribe.
