I was only with JVS for a few weeks but I got all the support I needed and managed to get a job thanks to my employment counsellor Aatika Bhatti and Work Force Specialist, Team Lead: Lakshimi Naharajan. With their support and help with feedback on my resume and helping me with mock interviews. They also encouraged me to join the JVS workshops and Job Fairs so I could gain more confidence. I managed to get a job offer in less than 3 weeks.

Lakshimi and Adiba at JVS Markham have been very helpful a year ago when I was looking for a job. They offer training and ways to connect directly with employers and they keep following up even after being hired. It’s been a year since I’ve been employed thanks to JVA Markham and would like to thank them for their assistance.

In March, I came across a flyer in a WhatsApp group for a job fair organized by JVS Markham. I decided to attend, and I must commend the team for their exceptional organization and warm professionalism. The staff and volunteers were polite, attentive, and made the experience welcoming for everyone. At the fair, I interacted with representatives from two companies. One hiring manager in particular stood out; we had a brief but engaging conversation about a role that aligned with my experience and skills. I was encouraged to apply, and within a week, I was interviewed and offered the job. A special thanks to Lakshimi, who was the first to reach out and inform me that I was being considered. She stayed in touch after then, even after I signed the contract, ensuring a smooth transition into the role. I am truly grateful to JVS Markham for creating such an impactful platform that connects job seekers with real opportunities.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to JVS for their invaluable guidance throughout my job search journey. The process was challenging, especially in finding the right direction, but the support from JVS made a significant difference. Their services are truly comprehensive—from the Career Exploration workshop, which helped me identify my strengths and interests, to career counseling, which boosted my confidence in interviews and refined my CV. The career development team played a crucial role in connecting me with employers seeking candidates with my skills, expertise, and experience. A special thank you to Dorota Hejnrych for teaching me the strategies in job search and navigating the Canadian job market, Vincent Wong for guiding me through the search process, Lakshimi Naharajan for matching me with the right opportunity and preparing me for employer interactions, and Aatika Bhatti for her valuable support in refining my interview skills and CV. I highly recommend JVS to anyone seeking career support—it’s an incredible resource for job seekers!
