"When I started my MBA journey, I was new to Canada and struggled to understand the local job market. Despite having relevant experience, I wasn’t sure how to position myself effectively to Canadian employers. I lacked a strong professional network and felt overwhelmed by the differences in job search practices
between Canada and my home country.
The impact of Alma’s coaching has been long-lasting. Not only did I secure a role as a Product Manager at Morgan Stanley, but I also gained a valuable network and a clear strategy for future career growth."
