I'm Miguel Abascal, and I'm absolutely delighted that you are here.
Let me tell you a story about why I created all of this.
I was once the CEO of the most famous and oldest coffee company in Mexico.
I travelled the world representing Mexican coffee until I decided to chase my dream of moving to Canada.
I thought, "I'm an executive with a master's degree, half a dozen certifications, and I quadrupled the sales of this company.
Within 12 months, I'm going to be running for Prime Minister. Canada is lucky to have me!"
Little did I know, my first five years in Canada would be the biggest challenge of my life.
I landed in Toronto in 2010.
My first job was serving coffee at Tim Hortons.
My confidence crashed, and I took several survival jobs over the years, struggling to understand why my previous success formula wasn't working in Canada.
In 2013, my luck started to turn when I discovered the power of mentorship.
Mentorship helped me land a job as a bank teller at TD.
I was quickly promoted several times until, in 2015, I finally got an entry-level position in my field (project management).
Even though it took me a long time to figure things out, I did master a very important skill:
How to build meaningful relationships.
My last six job promotions, I got them over coffee meetings.
The hidden job market is quite real. At first, I thought it was like a unicorn.
Everyone talks about them, but no one has seen them.
Today, I'm living my Canadian dream.
By day, I work at Scotiabank, helping strategic transformation projects achieve their global goals with over 10 years of experience in project and product management.
But at night, I become the Underemployment Slayer.
I'm on a mission to teach highly educated and experienced immigrant professionals who are stuck in entry-level or low-paying jobs how to land the jobs they deserve.
My dream is to make Canada underemployment-free.
I strongly believe that with the right mindset, guidance, and community, everything is possible.
My biggest mistake was trying to do everything on my own, leading to a lot of trial and error and wasted time.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
I have never forgotten the isolation and despair of my early years in Canada.
Many times, I considered returning to Mexico.
That is why we are here.
I found my purpose in helping others find their way.
I have helped over a thousand people thrive faster, and I'm excited to partner with you to make your Canadian Dream a reality.
