“Tatyana needs to travel to USA and/or
Mexico to see what the job market is there
and also to see if she would prefer to work
there rather than in Canada”. This is
because this would give her a wider
perspective of the other countries in North
America – different cities, how they
breathe, the culture, business practises.
This would also contribute to her
personality in the long-run and enrich her
life experience.

exchange notes on how to improve
herself, make her a happier person,
and probably also, she could get lucky
if a friend recommends her for a job
they come to know of!
