I've always dreamed of being a model or of working in the fashion industry, and that's what motivated me to attend this career day*. Despite the fact that I'm still in my first year of a bachelor's degree in business computing at the University of Sfax, I seized the opportunity to get a closer look at a career in the fashion world that I find so attractive. Having already attended training for interview preparation and CV correction, I found it very easy to introduce myself and talk about my academic background, my passion for clothing, and my desire to work in a dynamic company. The recruiters seemed interested in my skills and enthusiasm. Getting a part-time job will allow me to develop my professional skills in a fulfilling environment while continuing my studies and examining potential ways to combine business computing and fashion in my future career. I see this event as a real opportunity for youth who are looking for job opportunities because, in addition to CV training, it brings us even closer to our first jobs.

*The Career Day held in June 2023 is an initiative of USAID Tunisia JOBS in partnership with the University of Sfax and the Indigo Group to select youth for the opening of new Indigo retail outlets. Through this event, candidates from the University of Sfax received interview preparation training from career advisors trained by Tunisia JOBS to maximize their chances of being hired by Indigo, which is recruiting for 450 new positions.
