Salamu Alaikum brothers and sisters,
I have graduated last May with an MA in International Business from the Regent's College, London. My struggle strated as I began to look for a career as a graduate trainee.
Some companies woud not even give me a chance even if my both degree grades are a 1st.
Last Tuesday I was shortlisted for an assessment center with Tesco for their Financial Scheme. We had to spend the night in a hotel where all the graduates met as well as the assessors. I was attracting so much attention as to why I was not drinking, everybody wanted to know and once I say because I am muslim then they bombarded me with all sorts of questions.
Anyway as far as I am concerned I have done really well but apparently I was not picked because of some silly reasons.
It hurts so much to not be given a chance though you now you can do well. And what hurts more is when your closest people tell you I would not employ you if I were them just out of hate
My Iman in Allah (SWT) is really unlimited and that what keeps me going Though my heart is in a lot of pain now.
Make dua for me please that my sorrow can go.
Thank you for giving me the chance to share this painful experience with you
Salam
