WORK HISTORY
Bilingual Career Advisor @WCG Services
Calgary, AB, CA
In my current role, I work with both francophone and English-speaking clients of all ages and backgrounds. I help them discover their preferred future and take steps toward achieving it. To this end, I support clients with:* Building self-awareness and labor market awareness;* Selecting education and training programs;* Navigating career transitions and stages;* Enhancing career satisfaction;* Finding employment or developing self-employment opportunities;* Accessing community services that support personal and professional growth;* Writing resumes, developing portfolios, preparing for interviews, and pursuing other work-search activities. I help clients discover and appreciate their unique character traits, and then show them how to link those traits to career choices. To do this, I use various assessment tools and narrative practices to help clients identify their:* Interests;* Values;* Beliefs;* Lifestyle preferences;* Aptitudes and Abilities. I then help my clients relate these discoveries to the world of work, develop learning plans, and deal with barriers to achieving their career plans. For the clients who found employment, I help them plan their next career move, cope successfully with job dissatisfaction and job loss, or make occupational or job changes. I also help clients explore labor market information to support realistic employment or self-employment decisions. Last but not least, I market clients to potential employers and help clients find job or work experience placements. One of the ways of achieving that is by hosting job and volunteer fairs to connect clients with employers.
