House Cleaner: Case Worker

Employment Insurance Dept: But her Canadian business skills were lacking, so Zhao took work where she could: In restaurants, as a house cleaner and - after taking a course at B.C. Institute of Technology - as a bookkeeper with a local computer company, according to Vancouver Sun. Then her case worker suggested that she consider a unique program offered for unemployed Canadians by the immigrant services organization S.U.C.C.E.S.S. to help them become self-employed and when Helen Zhao immigrated to Canada from Xi'an, China, in 1995, she knew that eventually she'd like to work for herself. But Zhao's job with the computer company disappeared a few years later, and she started collecting employment insurance. As reported in the news.
