\"\"<\/p>\n

My name is Mohammad Bashar Wattar and I am from Syria. I completed my bachelor’s degree in computer science and I worked as a software developer in Syria for more than 8 years.<\/div>\n
\n

I was very actively looking for a job and yet I did not find anything in IT, so I looked for other sectors and worked as an administrative assistant for 10 months.<\/p>\n

Time is running fast and never going back, so I enjoy my life and start again when something does not work. I go on and that is also my tip for everyone.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I tried to apply for an internships, part-time and full-time jobs in my field and only got rejections. After receiving more and more regectiones, I decided to focus on three things: learning German, studying new programming languages by\u200b\u200b myself and building a new network group.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despair can affect us when we lose things, but life deserves adventure and optimism!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So I tried to visit language caf\u00e9s on a regular basis to improve my communication language and meet new people. On the other hand, I applied for several mentoring programs to have more networking opportunities and get advice to improve my job opportunities.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You deserve a better life. Strive for it.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Then I heard about MTOP. MTOP supported me in finding my first job in Austria as a software developer. After one and a half months I had a job with an unlimited contract. Now I am very happy to work with a cooperative team and it is also a great opportunity to learn more about Austrian traditions and values!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
