Francis gave me room to express my needs and gave me a good listening ear. I learnt key things about career development and a new perspective of viewing my career from him. Regular self-evaluation about my work, self-awareness and actively listening to those experienced in my field are things I have learnt to pay attention to from this session. Looking forward to booking other sessions for other aspects.

Based on the recommendations I received from Francis, I applied to 5 positions in one company and out of the 5 I received 4 interviews with 3 offers .Although these were trainee positions, I felt this was a step in the right direction since this will be a stepping stone into permanent position in the company. I rejected two offers and accepted an offer in Logistics. I am currently employed permanently in Wartsila Finland as a Delivery Coordinator. My inspiring story got featured in Helsink Kauppalehti which is the biggest commerce newspaper in Finland.

Instead, he encouraged students to view these challenges as opportunities for personal growth. He emphasized the importance of embracing Finnish culture and understanding the Finnish way of life and workplace expectations. The workshop encouraged students to take proactive steps toward their goals, highlighting that a positive attitude can often make all the difference. Thank you, Francis, for inspiring students to take charge of their career journey! 🙌
