I worked as Business coordinator at Omnia Skills Centre for immigrants. I worked as a member of a multidisciplinary team. As Business coordinator my job was to connect companies and my customers, unemployed people with immigrant background. My customers were job seekers with different kinds of educational and work history. I gave them career counselling, helped them with the job searching process and helped them to find new career alternatives. The most common topics I discussed with my customers include f.e. job search strategies, resume writing, cover letter, social media, preparing for the interview and video interview. I also worked as a trainer in job search trainings and work shops. As business coordinator I also developed collaboration with employers and organizations.
