Derya, a hospitality worker, is retraining for software testing and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over four months.

I have worked as a hospitality worker for 15 years, and I'm 31. After the factory closing, I decided to move into software testing, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Antalya, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

      thinking of you. Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Comilla

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kaduna so I could bring a meal. All the best

            hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from San Miguel de Tucumán.

              thinking of you, Derya. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 21 people at work. All the best

              • Isabel S. Ibáñez

                Best of luck, Derya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Antalya.

                  Rooting for you, Derya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Antalya.
