San’s Story: Employment success with GGP’s help

Read article

As a newcomer to Saskatoon everything here is new to me. and I have to start everything from scratch.

I came to know GGP from my friend’s introduction during my effort to seek assistance in terms of tax filing. Soon after my registration online I got a call from GGP to not only respond to my tax filing request, but also asked me if I am seeking any other support such as job hunting and other settlement plans.

I picked up the service for resume review and revision first. Soon right after my registration I got the emails and phone calls from Sana Khan who is working at GGP as a Program Facilitator very quickly and we had several very fruitful guiding sessions where I got valuable lessons about how to build an attractive, short, concise and focused resume and cover letter from theory and direct reviewing and revising my resumes.

As a result after sending the updated resumes I got several interview invitations from City of Saskatoon, SaskTel and also from another private software enterprise. I came back to GGP and Sana again asking for support for interview preparation. I was given a 1.5 hours interview dry-run with Sana tips, attention guides and I felt very confident joining the formal interview after that.

I am now an employee of the City of Saskatoon. I am writing this to say THANKS again and express my appreciation for the help and support that GGP has been giving me.

Originally from Syria, Khadija arrived in Canada in 2015 as a refugee alongside her mother. Like many newcomers, her biggest challenge first stepping into Canada was learning a new language, a barrier made greater by her visual impairment, which left her facing both a literacy challenge and a physical one. Khadija spent the first few years of her life in Saskatoon very isolated while living in an unfamiliar city that felt largely inaccessible, dependent on her elderly mother and disconnected from her community.
