International Recruiter
Hazal is originally from Turkey, but she lives in Venice, Italy. She started in Job Squad as an HR intern for four months, and it quickly became clear that her personality is a perfect match for this role. She loves helping people at every stage of their journey to moving abroad and starting a new chapter in their lives. She always tries to focus on solutions, which is the key to having a successful adventure and life abroad.
She moved to Italy for her master’s degree in psychology, where she had to overcome language barriers within nine months to pass the necessary exams. It has been challenging but it has been so much worth it. Hazal is passionate about mental support, empathy, and building genuine relationships. She believes that exploring new places and meeting new people leads to an ongoing self-discovery and endless journey, much like the adventure of living abroad itself. The best part of moving to a new place is undoubtedly the amazing food, local culture, and learning about the stories behind everything.
Hazal is basically always thinking of ways to assist people, especially in the context of moving abroad. Even when she cannot offer practical assistance, she focuses on providing mental support and motivation to keep their spirits high. She often lets her intuition guide her in her personal and professional life, and she enjoys looking at life from a spiritual and astrological point of view.
The advice Hazal she gives to those moving abroad is grounded in realism and encouragement. She believes that while the journey may be difficult at times and you will feel moments of loneliness, and making friends with locals might not always be easy, the experience is ultimately rewarding. She encourages people to stay positive through the challenges because in the end, the growth and opportunities gained will be well worth the effort.
