Whether it’s because of layoffs, redundancy, or personal choice, many people are starting over in their careers. Now imagine starting over, thousands of miles from home, in a new country, and a new language. Tetyana Dudnyk was a business woman from Ukraine, when she stepped off of an airplane in Canada 20 years ago. Tetyana talks about building her career and the importance of having a continuous learner mindset. She also talks about how women tend to undervalue their skills, and are often hesitant about applying for a job that they aren’t 100% qualified for, and she questions why anyone would take a job where they already have 100% of the qualifications.
Tetyana is also on the leadership team of the Toronto chapter of Ellevate, a world-wide network of professional women. This is an amazing organization that is driven by members supporting each other, and helping each other to grow.
