• For the last 6 months of New Zealand, I went to Sout Island and worked there in different jobs. At first, I started working in a Mussel and Vegetable factory for a month. I was doing nothing but opening mussels for whole day.
• After a month of Factory, I started working in the orchards and fields as a pruner, painter and kiwi thinner. During that time, I fell in love with nature, animals and fields and fruits. I learned how to grow, take care of plants and picking fruits from the kiwi and grape fields. Also, I loved that kind of jobs because there were plenty of international people who just went there like me and improve themselves more and more and I was lucky enough to learn and do these kind of critical in the below ;
• Reduced potential safety hazards by identifying and addressing structurally weak limbs.
• Promoted vigorous new growth with appropriate dormant season pruning methods.
• Recognized various tree species'' distinct growth habits, tailoring pruning techniques for maximum benefit in each case.
• Monitored overall plant health regularly after pruning sessions, adjusting maintenance plans as needed for continuous improvement efforts.

* I went to New Zealand in December 2023 and stayed there for 13 months to work, travel and improve myself more and more.

* In the first month, I tried looking for jobs but I could not find anything to do because I went there in a good time but turned out to be bad for me and every employer went on a vacation and I learned a lot in that 1 month having no job but thinking.

* After a month later, I found a job in a restaurant called Tasca and worked there for 3 months. I was taking orders,payments, reservations and empties to the kitchen. And when the time passes, the owner of the shop wanted me in the Manager position for the last 1.5 months because I was good at talking people with a good enthusiasm and work ethics.

* After, I worked in the other restaurant as a waiter as well for 3 months called Devon on the Wharf and did the same things with maximum effort.

* During that 6 months of period, I made lots of friends and unforgettable memories. I improved my English skills more and more.

I worked at Istanbul Airport for 6 months in the ground service department. I was helping people out to get them in the planes without any concerns, questions and whatever they need. Also, I was cooperating with the flight attendants when its needed and fixing the problems that occurred in the planes. I was the last one, leaving the plane and close the doors safe and sound.

* This was my second job at the same time and I worked for 18 hours per day for the last 2 months in my America adventure. I used to work as a bartender until 6 p.m and start working for Amazon at 6.30 p.m to 04.30 a.m.

*I was stower and measuring the goods, separating them and putting in the exact boxes.

* After 3.5 hardworking months in the States, I went to take an adventure for 2 weeks to travel and got back to my country.

• Kept bar presentable and well-stocked to meet customer needs.
• Served high customer volumes during special events, nights, and weekends.
• Trained new bartenders on drink preparation, product promotion, garnish preparation, and sanitation protocol.
