It was only after Minerva’s process helped me understand my “transferable skills” (from Brazil) that I was able to focus my search for the right opportunity. I am happy to report that I have had success! Early this year, I received an appointment to the provincial Employment Assistance Appeal Tribunal. Now I can use the fundamental skills and concepts from my previous professional life in a brand new one. To say the least, I am grateful for Minerva’s guidance.
