I did not feel like
I could amount
to anything.
As the sole provider for his family, Kirollos has been
working since he was in high school in everything
from electronics to sanitation. Holding a diploma in
commerce in a country that prizes a university
education, there was one thing Kirollos was sure to
encounterineveryjob–aglassceiling.
Despite his reluctance to apply and a certainty that he would be rejected,
Kirollos was accepted to EFE|Egypt’s Job Placement Training Program.
After graduation, Kirollos was selected by
Souq.com - Egypt’s leading eCommerce
website - as a content associate. After only two
months on the job, Souq.com Egypt General
Manager Omar Sodoudi believes “Kirollos has
revolutionizedthe way Souq.comdoescontent”
