Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 with Pat Chaisang
Pat landed in Vancouver from Thailand straight out of high school and English wasn't her first language. She was shy and not confident to speak to people because she was worried if she would make mistakes.<p>

Growing up in Asia, she was taught not to challenge authority. She was told not to ask too many questions, not to be too direct with people. Such an upbringing made her shy to ask for what she wanted in her job search!<p>

She teaches you how to ask professionals/hiring managers working in the industry for coffee chats which exponentially increases your chances of landing your dream job!

"CEO's tend to make time to talk to students and inspire the next generation. " says Pat so use the opportunity before you graduate :)

In this episode, I am fortunate to talk with Alex Khadempour, a licensed immigration advisor and the Managing Director of CICS Immigration Consulting Inc. His association with the topic of immigrating goes further into his background as an immigrant himself from Iran.

When they moved to Canada, his father went to Dubai to seek a better job. After building relationships with foreigners as they converse about immigration topics, his father went back to Vancouver and established his immigration firm. It was then when Alex got engaged with his father's firm. He started helping minimally through marketing until his dad offered him a job, and his desire to become an immigration advisor ignited.

You can find a lot of really reliable information and resources throughout this episode. As licensed immigration himself, Alex will share with us the system around Canada's immigration process, costs of immigrating, and where to start as an aspiring immigrant.
