I’ve been working with people from Estonia and the Baltics long enough that I have started to see the patterns in our behaviour. The reason I am able to pinpoint it so clearly is the fact that I, more often than not, have fallen prey to the same broken belief systems, especially when it comes to not knowing or advocating for our own value. However, the first step in making a change is identifying what needs to change.
I recently started working with a client who is highly educated, with several degrees, but is working at a low-skilled job. They came to me because their work permit was expiring, wanting help in order to stay in Canada. This is something I see so often: highly educated employees taking jobs way under their skill level because they think they have to. Says who? Who actually said you had to do that in order to progress?
Because by taking low-skilled employment now, you have effectively eliminated an opportunity to stay in Canada as a skilled worker long-term. However, that is a bill that does not come in right away; it's due in a year, when the need to stay and figure out a way becomes pressing. We can also call it settling.
