Prior to starting my business providing career transition services, my education and work experience was in HR. Ideally, I would like to find a position that combines my career management and HR knowledge. I was interviewed for such a a position in 2008, but the company imposed a hiring freeze due to economic conditions. I am looking for a job in Toronto, with no particular industry preference.

But not as cold as Madison WI which is where my next North American conference is going to be in a couple of weeks time. I'm speaking on the use of the social web and careers guidance/counseling at the Careers Conference 2009 at the University of Wisconsin.

Look forward to participating in this social network! But first I need to buy some ear warmers for my visit to the states :)

Best regards, Michael

Thanks for the warm welcome. Talking about techniques of destressing for new immigrants... my first approach is to build a trusting rapport with my clients and 'listen' to their stories of transition and success stories in their countries of origin. I am working with immigrants, who are internationally trained professionals, struggling to overcome barriers to settle down in their own professional sectors , in Canada. Very often I ask them to incorporate certain breathing techniques in their day to day schedule as I believe very deeply that breath is linked to our emotions & state of mind. And if we know the right techniques we can change the thought process & mind set.

Sincerely,
Sheena
