“Alyssa kept me motivated, she said, ‘Keep on applying, there will be a day you will get a job. Don’t be sad. Don’t be demotivated.’ I was very well prepared for the interview, all the things were up to date: my documentation, my interview stuff. Everything went very well. Even after that I was not sure I would get this job, but it was really surprising when I received a call from their Hiring Department. I was so emotional I started crying because it’s something like an honor to me…[The Employment Ontario program] provided me the money to buy the clothing because I had to move to Ottawa and I had to buy the clothes that I was supposed to be wearing for my official purpose. Working with Alyssa really made a big difference in my life. She encouraged me to really make my dreams come true.”
