Facing rejection in the Israeli Hi-Tech industry, Wasseem discovered itworks' bootcamp. The support and encouragement he received led to his hiring at EXlibris in Jerusalem, a turning point in his professional life.

Wasseem B. earned his Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from Birziet University in 2016. Assuming job hunting would be easy, he quickly realized the challenges as an Arab STEM graduate from East Jerusalem entering the Israeli hi-tech sector. Often, his CV was screened out or rejected by HR. After two fruitless years, he joined the itworks bootcamp. Benefiting from quality instruction, scholarships, and presentation training, he avoided common graduate pitfalls. The itworks team's consistent support boosted his confidence. Despite the discouragement during COVID, they urged him to keep applying, aiding in interview preparation. Now, Wasseem is with EXlibris in Jerusalem, crediting his success to itworks, especially Ayelet's reminders.
