losing your job

Losing a job can be a challenging experience for anyone, but for migrants, it can bring additional hurdles beyond the loss of income. As a Migrant you’re likely living away from your support systems, and can be faced with the complexities of dealing with legal, social, and economic implications when faced with losing a job.

In this episode, we are exploring some of the implications that can come from losing a job as an immigrant. These can include issues such as the time-sensitive nature of finding new employment for some visa holders, getting laid off while on maternity leave as well as the potential social and career setbacks that can be associated with job loss for a migrant.

I'm back as promised! I'm just a semi-normal woman who speaks Up! Ha! This podcast holds a lot of information that I didn't know was coming out! That's the way I work. I can't help it. If it's on my mind? It's on my tongue. The Vodka mention is a typical "Robin-ism!" You'll see! Maybe you'll even relate! God, I HOPE NOT! There can't be more than One of Me in this world... but if you're out there, and you ARE like me... join forces and let me know! Subscribe,... it's free. Maybe give me a gold star, because my Mom is the only one who ever did that for me. Usually for cleaning my room! LOL

Much Love and continued podcasts from, Sugar Mom by Robin Marshal
