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.

For Ario Safaeian, volunteering with Global Gathering Place wasn’t a coincidence: “It was a callback from all the experiences I had as a newcomer in Canada,” he says. Ario and his family moved to Canada in 2019 and have called it home ever since. During that first summer in Saskatoon, he spent most of his time in GGP programs, like Computer Class, Coffee and Conversation, and Breaking Ground, and found his very first friends in Canada. “The volunteers at GGP made my experience unforgettable. Once I finished the program, I realized now it is my turn to give back.”
