Mentorability Experience Stories

Diplômé récemment d'une licence en Économie appliquée, Doug était plus que prêt à se lancer dans sa carrière ; mais, le COVID a créé un marché de l'emploi incertain et il ne savait pas quelle serait sa prochaine étape pour trouver un emploi. Heureusement, Doug s'est renseigné sur le programme de conseil en carrière de son université, et celui-ci l'a référé à MentorAbility – un partenariat qui a finalement permis à Doug de décrocher un excellent emploi dans une grande entreprise technologique ! 

OpenText, a huge Information Management Solutions company based in Waterloo, already had a working relationship with MentorAbility; and Doug was interested in learning more about OpenText, so it was the perfect match! Doug impressed management so much during his mentorship that they encouraged him to apply for a position. He went through a competitive recruitment process and was hired as a Billing Coordinator. “Doug hit the ground running” said Amanda from OpenText. “The energy he brings lifts people up and gets them excited. He’s been an incredible superstar and asset to the team.”  

Doug said his MentorAbility Experience “blew his mind” because of how thorough it was and how supportive everyone was of his disability. Thanks to our program, Doug was able to have “amazing conversations” about accommodations in his new role, saying, OpenText “met my needs and I’m able to perform at my best.”  

Doug cannot recommend the MentorAbility Program enough either, exclaiming: “MentorAbility is a necessary tool for anyone with a disability that is career seeking” and everyone should “reach out and take advantage of it!”  

Thanks for the kind words Doug! We’re happy all your hard work paid off!
