Mentorship
Hi, I am Efim. Currently living my best life in Calgary, Canada.
I was born and raised in Russia and got my undergraduate and postgraduate education there. I worked there (with a couple of stops in the UAE) for a few years before, at the age of 24, I embarked on a journey to do my PhD in Engineering in New Zealand. After five years there, I moved to Canada, becoming a permanent resident under the Federal Skilled Worker stream. Trust me; I know about adjusting to new environments and adapting to the local job market.
Whether you are a seasoned immigrant and have moved around multiple times, or you've just moved to Canada and trying to understand what is going on, feel free to reach out. I looked for jobs using local recruiters, applied from overseas and approached people online. I am sure that whatever struggles you have right now, I've been through the same as well.
If it sounds like I can help you with your struggles, feel free to get in touch.
