I received my first job offer in Canada as a research assistant!
Deborah, who is studying on empowering women in the North America decide to hire me today!
It was a job posting from the past week and because she mentioned that call me for phone interviewing, at first I gave this email up and thought oh my God, who can answer to some questions by phone and in English?! But, suddenly, last night I decided to send me resume to her email. She called me at the morning, though I didn't put my phone number! She said as I review your resume you seem qualified. Tell me about your research interests and what you have done. I said I have presented three papers in international conferences...
When she was explaining about the research and the qualified candidate for the position, she mentioned it is very important the candidate is able to search very well in order to gathering some data. I said I have an experience in this regard when I was working as a chief consultant in a news agency where my exact responsibility was searching for appropriate related organizations in order to be connected with them, negotiate with them for fundraising and assistance to hold some workshops for regional journalists...
When she said the core of the research is the empowerment of women in the North America, I described about my experience in empowering some Iranian housewives for writing in their local publication...
She asked me how old are you? When I answered I am 27, she was surprised and said that I seemed more mature according to the resume. I said if you live in Iran and desire to progress, you have to work hard and really run!
She called me around 1 p.m and said: I decide to hire you. Congratulations!
So, I will start my first Canadian experience as a research assist in the field which I am really interested and curious about with $20 per hour!
Sounds great and unbelievable. I planed after finishing this semester I go for working even as a volunteer to gain some Canadian job experience.
Better than I expected
