Ahouraโs story
My name is Ahoura, and I am a Kurd from Syria. Like all of my peers, I came to Erbil to continue my education and flee the war in Syria. I was a motivated young person and did everything I could to continue my education.
โ
It was hard for a refugee to start his studies here in Erbil, but against all odds, I started my education in Media Hub for Marketing and Social Media in 2016 and finished at the beginning of 2019.
โ
After many attempts to find a job, I sat at home without any opportunities, and I considered going abroad because I saw that my potential would be buried here. The process of immigration was so hard - I went from Erbil to Turkey and then from Turkey to Greece. However, after a near-death situation, I had a change of heart and returned to Erbil, promising myself to start a new life.
โ
I was sitting at home, hopelessly scrolling down my LinkedIn feed looking for jobs when I saw that a mselect company was hiring employees. It was like magic - I contacted them, went to the company, and provided them with everything they asked for. After a few days, I received a job offer from them to work with one of the biggest companies in the world, Ferrero Rocher.
โ
I am now an information auditor for Ferrero, and I have been working with them since 2019. It has had a significant impact on my life both personally and professionally. mselect helped me regain lost motivation, and they saw the potential I had and didn't hold back to find the perfect job for me. A big thanks to mselect company and Ferrero Rocher for helping me create the life that I want.
