My First Job! - Amira career journey

Assalammualaikum

 3 months out of university and I landed my first professional job!

Alhamdulillah I couldn't be any happier and grateful. Honestly, this is the smoothest thing that ever happened to my life 😭. Actually, I started applying for jobs during my final weeks of university, inspired by my friend (Puteri) who managed to secure a job before graduating so SHOUT OUT TO YOU PUT! 💗

I know it is very hard to land a job nowadays, because of the COVID situation and all, that's why I started to apply for jobs as fast as possible. Honestly, I felt anxious thinking about whether I could secure a good job, a good job from my pov is working in the same field that I'm studying along with pay & benefits that are good! I really don't want to be unemployed for so long because I have goals that I want to achieve, and Alhamdulillah Allah listens to my prayers. 

I applied the job through LinkedIn and there were 3 stages of interviews; the 1st one was a chit-chat with the HR (which I did during my final exam week), 2nd interview was a video interview (I took about 2 hours to finish it 😣) and the last one was an interview with the Hiring Manager (which I were required to do a presentation on a project I did in university followed by the interview session)

On the day I received the news, I'm so elated!!! Not only because I secured the job but the compensation that I'll be getting was much more than what I expected *cries in happiness. God really is kind to me Alhamdulillah

I'm writing this on my 7th month with the company and Alhamdulillah I'm still content and it really made me want to do my best in this work!! So my work involves giving technical support to specialist Drs from before surgery up until the day of surgery. After that, I give support to the patients regarding anything related to the devices they're having. 

May Allah ease my journey for this work and may I become an expert in it Amin!

Kind regards,

Amira
