I would appreciate if anyone can answer this,
I have sponsored my wife who came from hong kong last summer. After 14 months she is now a permanent resident. However we also have a 6 month old child. By the time our little one starts to walk, my wife will be entertaining ideas of what type of job is suitable for her background.
She graduated from hong kong chinese university and has stayed in japan for a year and majors in japanese language. She can read write speak cantonese, mandarin, japanese and english fluently. She also has 2 years of OL (office job) experience underher belt when she was in hong kong at the time. She was dealing with importing/exporting companies and have interacted with various mainland china and japanese clients. She has all the basic office admin skills set.
Given her background and experience, what types of job can or will she be looking for?
Would companies recognize her office experience? I know alot of people say the current job market is only hot with the low paying job but some say differently.
Maybe she can take advantage of this hot market and find something decent even though she may not have graduated from a local institute.
Can someone who works in the office setting tell me if she can find something similar here in calgary? or does she have to go back for a quick diploma?
thanks
