I came to Canada in 2016 and at first it was difficult because I didn’t have Canadian work experience even though I had worked 10 years in the industry. I started at Goodwill as a team supervisor and a couple months later had an opportunity for a promotion. I think that is part of what Goodwill does; they create opportunities to grow.
