Aleksandra Goriacheva, a seasoned Front-end Developer from Russia, arrived in Canada in 2022 under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program. Despite her strong IT background, she struggled with confidence and language barrier, and was unsure how to navigate the competitive Canadian job market.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her resume lacked the targeted keywords needed to clear the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and the competitive nature of the IT sector added to her challenges. Through the Internationally Trained Individuals (ITI) Solutions – Bridging the Gap to Employment program, Aleksandra received personalized support and strategic job search guidance. She learned to tailor her resume to Canadian standards and improved her interview skills through mock interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Advice on resume targeting and on preparation for the interview are priceless to me. I feel a lot more confident applying for jobs now. Information about Canadian work culture and networking, as well as referrals for the TRIEC mentoring program and for the internship, are beneficial.” says Aleksandra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her proactive approach paid off, and Aleksandra soon started receiving positive responses to her applications from prospective employers. By the end of the program, she had secured a 12-week internship as a Front-end Developer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
