Relocating and working abroad is nothing new to VanHacker Matt Daneshvar. Being originally from Iran, he had been living in Malaysia for the past 10 years before deciding to immigrate again. With VanHack\’s assistance, he got a job as a software engineer in Canada. Matt sat down with our community manager, Maria Sanchez, and talked about his experience with VanHack and how he got hired abroad.

Reasons to keep moving
Matt had been working as a software engineer in Malaysia for around 10 years when he felt it was time to relocate again. The reason why he thought about moving to a different country was to seek stability. Matt didn’t think the path to a permanent visa was very clear in Malaysia and started reading about other countries. That’s when he learned Canada could be an option and that VanHack could help.

How The Mock Interview Helped
VanHack offers candidates a variety of services that Matt made great use of. Our advisors conducted multiple practice interviews with him and he also took part in many of our events.
Matt explains: “I’ve done mock interviews and then there were also some events that I was participating in for preparation. I had interviews there as well. So yeah, it was quite a few rounds of mock interviews and practice interviews. They help you feel more confident during the real interview. I think every candidate, or at least in my case, has some level of anxiety, just going for an interview. And it was quite a new thing for me since I hadn’t done that in years. So just being able to sit down with someone and practice and also get some feedback was really, really helpful”.
