Ms. Behrok was incredibly dedicated and supportive throughout my job search process. She consistently followed up on my case, made numerous calls to employers, and went above and beyond to help me find the right opportunity. Thanks to her persistence and efforts, I was finally able to secure a job. I truly appreciate her commitment and highly recommend her to anyone in need of professional support.

They went the whole nine yards for me!
From workshops that increased my knowledge of job market and practical tips how to tailor your resume, to one-to-one support during my job seeking journey and familiarizing and signing me up for different programs, such as wage subsidiaries program, that supported me and increased my employability!
My wife and I got our first Canadian jobs by having their support and guidance!
Definitely advised to all job seekers to incorporate becoming a WorkBC client into their job seeking plan!
Special thanks to Behi, Kal, and Jasmin for their invaluable instructions, support and care!

I had an amazing experience working with Sophia, my case manager at WorkBC. Initially, I was focused on finding an IT job, but through a deep and insightful conversation, she helped me re-evaluate my career path. She took the time to analyze my experience, skills, and education and guided me towards a high-demand role as a Field Engineer in Vancouver.
Not only did she help me secure a great job, but she also provided clear next steps on how to grow within the company while developing my IT skills on the side to prepare for future career goals. Her expertise in career advising, resume and cover letter writing, and HR knowledge made a huge difference in my job search.
On top of that, Sophia is also helping me with job start financial support, ensuring a smooth transition into my new role. I truly appreciate her dedication, professionalism, and genuine support. Fantastic case manager—highly recommend her to anyone looking for career guidance! 🙌🎯
