Jose Manuel Sanchez arrived in Calgary with twelve years of experience in his professional field. He found the advice he got from his career coach in adjusting his resume to meet the expectations of oil and gas employers in Alberta to be very useful. Jose also says his career coach provided him with resources for preparing for job interviews: “I had the opportunity to rehearse questions and answers that are typical of many job interviews. The way I present myself and the way I explain or demonstrate my professional achievements are crucial for getting a job.
