The dreaded Canadian Experience - well one way sa pagcontrol nila sa biglaang pagpasok ng better educated, better skilled migrants sa labor pool nila. Well unfortunately wala ka pang magagawa since mukhang ingrained na ito sa ibang employer - means of protecting their "own". Hanap ka ng equal opportunity employer, and everytime me interview ka, don't hesitate to ask ano ang efforts nila sa diversification and multi-culturalism. This puts them on the spot, kaya magiging negated ang impact ng Canadian experience, na hinahanap hanap nila but to me, is a very backward step. It puts them in the defensive. In my experience, they ask your experience in assimilating into a Canadian work environment which is equal to - napaka in-efficient na processes, thinking, and diskarte. As if kailangan mo ibalik sa high school ang pagiisip mo. best lesson I learned - learn to lower your expectations, and lower then even more....ang pangasar ko parati dyan kapag me nasabi ko na once tapos di sila nakinig, then sasabit sila, "well they do not have international experience.....
- knowledge can be learned through education and training, but wisdom is gained through experience "
You will find ganun ang mentalidad nila, no follow-through, no end-effort. As long as tapos ang trabaho nila, wala na sila paki. Yet expected nila ikaw o iba ang magiisip para sa kanila. Madalas miron sa usapan, wala naman solution offered. As far as they are concerned, you are a number, a stat, to pad their numbers/achievements in their work. And often - they try to retrofit you into positions not commensurate to your abilities and potential. Nasanay sila na most immigrants in previous decades kowtow to them and yuko lang - but the recent immigrants are better informed about their life and career choices.
