Let's gooooooo🔥🔥
✅Hi Everyone, This is Alex Amir.
Please feel free to send me an invite.
Wins:
My biggest career Win is that I was able to enter my dream company PWC early in my Career (and yes I did a lot of work to get there) then moved on to KPMG, 2 of the big4! Where I was fortunate enough to be able to work and learn from many industries and various large size companies, through consulting in Human resource systems, mainly "Workday"!
Then I got tired of employee routine and followed some contractors who were working for Big4 !
I tried to network with them and learn their secrets but wasn’t successful! As they were very conservative about these contracts! Long story short, with my willpower and curiosity personality, I found it! I learned a way to became an independent consultant! And get high-paying clients! All of a sudden my income tripled!!
Lots of fun, Amazing pay and amazing flexibility!
This lifestyle helped me choose my preferred projects to work on and decline the rest!
I have consulted various clients in Workday HR systems such as Major Banks,Retails (Loblaws), Healthcare ( Cancer Care Ontario), etc across different industries which gave me a great perspective.
In workday data conversion consulting industry, we go by total number of employees of the companies portfolio we consulted , for me this number is above 1 million headcount, having 100,000 under loblaw and metro stores chain itself!
I have consulted as Workday Data and HRIS solution architect and currently as a Senior Workday ERP Engineer at a large healthcare organization across 10 states and I work remotely. But I do travel alot between US and Canada!
Goals:
My current goal is to help 1,000 people breakthrough their life by finding their dream job in my first term!
Obstales:
Health , Energy and Consistency.
For years, as I was working from home and sitting alot, I was suffering from overweight and high cholesterol which caused fatigue and lack of energy for new projects and goals!
My main obstacle in reaching my above goal was consistency and lack of energy. I was lucky to find who is a great fitness coach (I knew him for years but lost contact with him in the hustle and bustle of social media!!). Long story short, I was able to develop a great discipline in workout, mindset and eating healthy again which led me to lose 20 pounds and regain my unleashed energy.
(I also highly recommend you check out his FREE Fitness entry Challenge here which can help you develop discipline and energy required to get IT Jobs or any jobs !) Looking back at my life, I have always touched many people’s lives by my talks and I believe I am genuinely good at coaching people with their career decisions.
Because of this , I decided to use my knowledge in HR, skillset and experiences to help others get jobs and develop their careers, and Shervin was consistently helping me out with this dream until we built this Community together! and from now on it is on all of us to move this community forward, because community is not 1 or 2 persons, community is a link-minded tribe!
