This interview took place at McGill Toastmasters in March 2019. Thank you, Marina Byezhanova, for coming over.
Marina Byezhanova is a driven entrepreneur, creative head hunter, writer, and public speaker. She has been featured in Inc.com, Forbes.com, Yahoo News, Financial Post, Fast Company, and Success Magazine.
We speak about her journey as an entrepreneur. How she immigrated from Ukraine, went to school at McGill University, and found a job with all the accolades which made her family proud.
Marina went into entrepreneurship because she wasn’t able to find an employer that was aligned with her values. After some brainstorming with her co-founder, they created the recruitment agency Pronexia.
Marina talks about the early struggles creating the agency, how to make yourself noticeable in a highly competitive job market, how to fight employment discrimination, and how to use LinkedIn as a tool to find the dream job.

Update, August 2020: After COVID-19 marina has rebranded herself. Now she is a career coach. You can see our most recent interview here and check out her new website here.

Had a horrible experience with Marina. She was very rude and dismissive to me and a few other candidates. She doesn’t live up to her own hype.
