I am Kirti Somaroe, 29 years old and I live with my dog Wicky in Schiedam. Since April 2019, I have been working at ZiPPERZ.

Before this I worked as a maternity nurse for almost 7 years. Unfortunately, I ended up on sick leave. Eventually it turned out that I could not return to my job as a maternity nurse.

I then started in the 2nd track track. That's where I met Najoua Fissoune from Puls . She was the right person to guide me in finding a new job. After several appointments and an extensive job test, I started applying for another job.

The appointments with Najoua took place at the ZiPPERZ business center. The owner of ZiPPERZ was already familiar with Puls and had had a good experience with them before. She had let Najoua know that she was interested in offering me a work experience position.

An opportunity I didn't want to pass up! I started working at Zipperz for a period of 3 months. Here I worked behind the reception desk; receiving customers, processing mail and post, handling phone calls and escorting customers to the right room. I also had some cleaning duties and helped in the lunchroom.

After a short internship, I was offered a job by ZiPPERZ. I accepted this opportunity with both hands and have now been working at ZiPPERZ for almost a year with great pleasure.

The nice thing is that Puls still regularly reserves spaces with us and I still have regular contact with Najoua as a result.
