Aduke noted that the job of a caregiver is as easy as anything. In a TikTok video, she said the first thing job hunters need to do is to ensure their mobility issue is sorted out.

Having sorted hers out, Aduke said she underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training and got certified.
Next, she revamped her resume to suit the Canadian style and began job-hunting. She added the personal care support work she did in Nigeria to her CV.
The New Brunswick resident said the job description of the role one intends to apply for would inform how to design one's resume.
She, however, stated that some Canadian companies may require Personal Support Worker (PSW) certification from applicants and advised people to get the certificate if they can.
