In this episode, I’m speaking with Yauhan Mehta, a career coach who’s helped 750+ immigrants land jobs they love at global companies.
A major part of his success is an interesting approach he takes to career coaching. He won’t start coaching with resume work. Instead, he begins with a soul-searching session to identify what people want.
Then, if they have the financial means, they can focus on getting their target role. If they don’t have savings, they get something quickly that’s still somewhat related to their profession or has transferable skills.
1 like that. Because more often than not, immigrants take jobs that are not in sync with who they are or their skillset, and then continue doing that for many years.
Yauhan and I also chat about:
His journey from India to Dubai to Canada
How he dropped out of engineering and ended up as a career coach
Why he’s passionate about helping fellow immigrants get their best jobs
How long it took him to settle somewhat into Canada
