"The grass is never greener on the other side. The job market is all about who you know. It's not about who can do the job anymore."
@The Black Senator said:
"I had a cleaning company in Nigeria but was told i am qualified to be a cleaner in the UK. Abroad will humble you."
@Violet | Int Career Strategist reacted:
"This hurts to watch. But this is why proper job alignment, CV restructuring, and understanding local work requirements matter when relocating. Senior roles back home don’t always translate directly abroad and that’s something more people need to know."
@BennyEmma2026 reacted:
"My dear something better is coming."
@ËllaBëlla added:
"Did u ask the definition or requirements coming with the industrial mopping? cus in Canada there are pre set requirements by the government and licencing for workers insurance like workers compensation board that has rules to follow as an employer u must have employees that have like WHIMS training certificate and knowledge and other stuff for employee safety and others I including the site and materials u will use, it's different here but in place for the best safety and health for all, handling cleaning solutions of an industrial level requires knowledge and practice, now some company won't train while others do, so looking at jobs make sure it's listed what the minimal exp or certification is that helps alot and look at various city based free courses u could get it all for free best of luck."
