Abel’s 47-Year-Old Immigrant Success Story
Imagine stepping off a plane in Canada at 47. You left a successful career behind, risking it all for a better life for your family. But instead of opportunity, you face silence. Job applications disappear into a void. This was Abel Miyoka’s reality.
Weeks turned into months, and savings dwindled. Once a respected engineer, Abel felt demoralized stacking boxes in a warehouse. His resume, filled with international experience, seemed invisible to Canadian employers. Ageism, he suspected, loomed large.
“My confidence shattered,” Abel recalls. “I doubted my skills were even relevant anymore.” Yet, deep down, a flicker of determination remained.
Desperate, he searched online. That’s when he found ATS Expert Resume Services. Skeptical at first, he decided it was his last hope. Their process was meticulous. An expert meticulously dissected his old resume, highlighting transferrable skills he’d forgotten he had. They didn’t just edit; they transformed.
Keywords were woven into his profile, not as buzzwords, but showcasing how his experience solved problems Canadian companies faced. The result was a resume that felt both true to him and tailored to this new job market.
Within a week of uploading the new resume, his inbox started buzzing. Recruiters saw past his age and zeroed in on his potential. Interviews followed—not generic ones, but calls where they asked about specific projects from his resume.
“It was like night and day,” Abel says. He landed a role at a leading engineering firm, his salary exceeding what he’d made back home. “ATS Expert didn’t just give me a resume; they reignited my belief in myself.”
Abel’s story is a reminder:
- Job hunts are brutal, especially for older immigrants. Ageism and system bias are real barriers.
- Your skills DO matter, but they need to be translated for the specific market you’re targeting.
- ATS optimization isn’t magic. It’s about expert understanding of how BOTH the systems and hiring managers think.
If you’re feeling stuck like Abel, there’s help. Investing in a service specializing in beating the ATS and resonating with employers might be the key to unlocking the door.
