Redefining Success

What really made a difference was......

My name is Hagar Essam, I’m 20 years old, and a student at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels. Since my first year in college, I’ve had a dream of working in the tourism field, and I’ve always imagined myself as a successful and influential person in it.  

 At first, I didn’t know where to start or how to prepare myself for the job market. Then I got an incredible opportunity that changed my way of thinking and helped me take the first step toward my future: the Career Direction program by Education For Employment–Egypt. 
 Through this program, I learned a lot: 
 • How to write a professional CV that reflects my skills, even without much experience. 
 • How to be fully prepared for job interviews and speak with confidence and professionalism. 
 • I developed my soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management.

 What really made a difference was the change I started to see in myself. I became more confident, and I learned how to deal with people in a more mature way, which helped me both in my studies and daily life. 
After the program, I began participating in student activities and conferences, and I had the chance to meet professionals in the field. That added to my experience and made me even more passionate about pursuing my dream.

Now, as I approach graduation, I truly feel ready for the job market. My goal is to start my career in the tourism field and continue learning and developing myself so I can be a successful and impactful part of it. 
I believe that success doesn’t come overnight, but every small step I take brings me closer to my dream. .
