Testimonials & Statistics
There were 7 final candidates for the 17th scale post. Other interviews were going 15 minutes long and mine lasted 35 minutes. Those most beautiful 35 minutes of my life lead to my job because of my fellowship preparation.
For me, Amal Fellowship was primarily about learning the true meaning of leadership in practice. You hear the word leadership everywhere, but you experience it for the first time in your fellowship.
Amal was my journey to being an extrovert. Having remained an introvert throughout my life, I had been following Amal’s work since it started and finally finished my fellowship in 2018 with my lifelong dream of becoming an extrovert.
I got my first job at GC University because of the thank-you email I wrote in my fellowship. A male candidate was required but they selected me because of my positive energy in my email. Forever grateful to this institute.
I applied for the same OG-2 job at SBP 4 times already and always got rejected in the final interview. This time with my learnings from the fellowship, my increased confidence, and better preparation, I aced it and got my dream job. Amal is love.
