Today marks a big day for me – 5 years working in Gjirafa's People and Culture team 🎈
Back in October 2017, right after finishing my Master Studies in HRM abroad, I reached out to Mergim about joining Gjirafa, Inc.. Organized a meeting with a member of Gjirafa at that time. Even though there wasn't a spot for me then, I didn't give up. Instead, I landed a great gig at Deloitte in the Human Capital Advisory Services team, where I learned a ton and developed professionally.
15 months later, but this time with a year of professional experience, I connected with Mergim again, still passionate about HR and joining Gjirafa. He said someone would get in touch, and Greta did! After a bunch of meetings (one also with Mergim), I joined Gjirafa in 2019.
These past 5 years have been amazing – full of learning and growth. I've been lucky to work with a team that's all about getting better and embracing differences.
Big thanks to everyone at Gjirafa for their support and friendship. You've made this journey awesome! Here's to many more years of working together and making a difference. 🚀
Now, based on my experience here are some key points that may help anyone aiming to join a company or pursue a goal:
1. Persistence Pays Off,
2. Build Relationships,
3. Gain Relevant Experience,
4. Express Your Passion,
5. Be Open to Opportunities,
6. Seek Feedback,
7. Stay Resilient,
8. Celebrate Milestones.
