"I always knew something was wrong. I would leave an interview knowing that I wouldn't get the job, but I never really knew why exactly. This course taught me what Canadian recruiters look for in an interview. It is totally different from my native country. No wonder I was never getting a call back!" Omar from Pakistan
I had no idea how differently things are done here in Canada¿this course has really opened my eyes, things are so much clearer to me now!¿ OCWC Graduate
