I have been in Engineering Sales for over 12 years with reputed companies such as Flowserve, Emerson, Torishima Pumps, and Arvos Group, I moved to Canada in April 2022 to pursue my MBA. I was wondering if, with good experience and an international MBA, I would be able to up my career pretty well. After graduation, as I post my resume on job portals, I am disappointed to know the job market is not doing well.

Well the market is kind of down many businesses are avoiding hiring.
I would be delighted if I got referred for mechanical engineering roles (design/manufacturing), application engineering, inside sales, and outside sales.

Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
