Kamer Ali: Basic Skills

Kamer Ali Dept: When Kamer Ali immigrated to Canada in 2004 from Ethiopia, she struggled with nearly every aspect of her new life, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The toughest part, Ali said, was trying to find work. "I didn't know the most basic skills like how to write a resume well, how to interview, even where to find work. I used to walk up and down the streets in the cold just looking for places that were hiring. It was a very, very scary time for me," Ali said and jOE BRYKSA / Program manager Serge Kaptegaine does a mock interview with student Kamer Ali. Though she studied English in grade school, she still found it tough to communicate with people and form friendships. She found the cold debilitating. She didn't know how to use the transit system. She felt alone. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
