Saeed Sultani is an extremely self-motivated individual who eagerly takes any opportunity to learn something new or find a way to better himself. This lifestyle can be seen through his professional success here in Idaho after working hard with the Global Talent team.
After receiving his bachelor’s in computer science, he became a teacher and deputy head of the IT department at Avicenna University in Afghanistan. However, the university was drastically impacted by COVID-19 and was forced to shut down. In 2021, Saeed and his large family were forced to flee Afghanistan because of the Taliban’s power and influence. Their journey led them to spend some time in Qatar, Germany, and New Mexico before finally settling down in Idaho.
As an expert in computer science, Saeed was successfully able to secure a job as a software engineer at Ticket Meal. His dedication and skills are ultimately what got him to where he is today. Nevertheless, the Global Talent team had the great pleasure of coming alongside him to provide support during the job-seeking process. Through this program, Saeed learned more about American work culture, how to write a resume, and how to conduct himself in an interview. His continual desire to grow and learn more is what got him to where he is today and what will get him the future promotions that he dreams about. “Thank you to Global Talent for their program and for their help”, says Saeed as he daily tells his story of success and determination.
