Celile Aydın was born in Muğla, and she graduated from the Industrial Engineering department in İstanbul; she is living in İstanbul with her schoolmates. She is very intellectual and open-minded; she believes in women’s power, and she wants to stand on her own two feet.
Currently, Celile is a Human Resources assistant, and she is delighted with her position and company location. ” Most of the institutions’ locations are far from where I lived. For this reason, I consider myself very lucky to be in the institution where I am currently working because my living area is very close and very convenient in terms of transportation,” she said. Celile is happy with her colleagues and work conditions, and Celile mentioned that “On the other hand, we got a good rapport with my colleagues, and they are very open to helping me in every field I need. This makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I see myself in this institution for a long time”.
Celile always wanted to work in the field of Human Resources as her career goal, and it was a great passion for her to improve herself in this field. For this reason, when she applied for a job, she acted in line with her career goals and followed her dreams as an idealist woman. Celile is very satisfied with her company’s high-stress environment and versatility, and she believes that it is an excellent opportunity to improve herself. “The institution where I am currently working is a multinational structure, and the use of the English language is very important. Therefore, I see the great benefit of having studied English in my university life. On the other hand, thanks to my colleagues, I got over the feeling of lack that I experienced while speaking English in a very short time.” she said.
“It might be correct to mention that being a woman a somehow advantageous for the application for job vacancies because women candidates face positive discrimination in job application processes and provide an advantage in getting a job. However, in the recruitment processes of female candidates in small-scale companies, work circumstances open to abuse can also be mentioned in some cases beyond being not merit-based. As a result of this situation, it is seen that women encounter some unpleasant problems, and this causes a very troublesome process for women.”
United Work carries out a project under BRIDGES Programme in coordination with the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KFW-German Development Bank, the project provides career counseling, assists in job placement, pays the work permit application fees, and provides wage subsidy in the first two months of employment.
Celile believes that the project provides a comfort zone for both employers and employees and increases their motivation to work. For this reason, she finds this project is successful. While focusing on her career, Celile wants to eliminate all the uneasiness in his mind and wants to work with high motivation.
