Client Testimonials

Name of Client: Barnana Sarkar

Thank you so very much, I can't even begin to tell you how important you are in this journey of my career path in Canada. I owe you for teaching me how to trim and customize my resume, for untiringly going through line by line my cover letters and applications, responding to each and every email, being positive and encouraging and for always believing in me. I hope every new immigrant gets an employment counsellor like you. I have completed two years in Canada, I have Canadian work experience and Canadian education; this achievement is greatly due to your support and guidance as my employment counsellor.

Skills for Change helped me specifically figure out what specific job profession I wanted an opportunity in. They provided me constant and relevant new job opportunities. They also helped me have a well-organized and updated resume that would be accepting to a potential employer. They were kind and professional and encouraged me through the process of finding a job.

In addition, the staff of skill for change are always helpful and cooperative, even after class. Please accept my sincere thanks.
