My life before Amal Career Fellowship
Life before this fellowship, was less career-oriented, less focused, less professional, less specific and without defined goals.
As I am a Master student and before Amal, I had no experience of professional life. I mostly focused on studies, rather than improving my professional skills. I actually thought that a degree is enough to get a high ranked job, but Amal changed my concepts and made me aware that how much professional skills are important to start a career.
During the first phase of the pandemic of Covid-19 happened and we were locked up in our homes. At that time, I came across the advertisement of Amal academy on Facebook that suggested to me one of my fellows. When I do some research about it, I discovered that it was an amazing opportunity for students like me and I couldn’t find any other option to spend that time more productively so, I decided to avail this opportunity Therefore I got myself registered and was successfully selected after passing fairly through various steps of the selection procedure.
