Student Success & Career Education

Higher education institutions want their students to get prepared for today’s dramatically changing workplace. I can help institutions achieve that goal by educating and training students on developing academic and career success strategies, better learning habits, career plans, ATS resumes, job search and interview techniques, and online presence.

Me and My Calling

A vocation is an individual’s choice of occupation which reflects personal preferences and interests. A career is not just a series of jobs; instead, ‘it’s a continuous process of lifelong learning, growth, development, and transition’ through which individuals identify their ‘calling’ (here comes Mark Savickas)—recalling Maslow’s self-actualization.

A calling is an individual’s consuming passion for a particular career domain. It contributes to a sense of personal meaning and purpose. So, the desire to enter into a given work area means you have chosen your career path (a bit Freudian and Gottfredson’s circumscription) while selecting an academic discipline is the second step toward that goal.

  • A resume is a work in progress.
  • Your elevator pitch is your briefest life story.
  • Career development is a lifelong process of learning, work, leisure, and transition.
  • Your mindset can be more important than your IQ.
  • Use your ‘second brain’ to stay organized.
  • Your experience is your original knowledge.
  • Take job search as a process of learning.
  • Customizing a resume may be more challenging than writing a resume.
  • You are gifted; you only have to identify the dimension of your giftedness.
  • You are the most important person in your life.
  • You can only be happy when you find a job that goes with your self-concept.
  • Find your consuming passion, also known as your ‘calling.’
  • Ethics has no alternative.

  • Two things you control in life – your thinking and your action.
  • Life stops when you stop learning and designing your future.

Testimonials

“Mr. Zaman guided me to choose the appropriate course and recommended a good college named “George Brown” when I was totally unaware of the colleges in Canada. He helped me in the admission process as well. After landing in Canada, he also helped us by guiding and counselling us on various matters of settlement. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a consultant.”
Jima Emily John, India
“Very rarely do we acknowledge the role of people who shape us and mold us and help us to find ourselves in that process. Today, as a Marketing Manager in a reputed Data Engineering company with two master's, I can not help but bow down to someone who has helped me not only to learn how to be a learned academic but also a good human being.”
Nahian Muntasir, Belgium
“Of late, I got a lucrative offer from one of Bell Mobile’s competitors in BC, I immediately contacted him. He listened to me attentively, asked a couple of open-ended questions, and advised me accordingly. Based on his advice, I decided to stay with Bell, and it came out to be the best decision for my career progression. I am now an assistant manager of a corporate branch.”
Shourav Mahbub, Canada
