Amirali Hadili

I learned about manufacturing spare parts in the agricultural industry, including die casting and machine manufacturing, producing parts of the machines from scratch in the factory and purchasing other parts from other companies and assembling them in the inhouse factory.

I deepened my knowledge about CNC machines and Wire EDM as part of the “professional field one” internship of my program.

I worked night shifts at the reception full time to afford studying.

Starting as a Brtender, I soon was promoted to Bar Manager at Marvin and La Pera Bars in Istanbul where I worked full time while studying. During the summer months, I worked as a Bar Manager at Ottoman Nargile in Antalya.

Established and optimized schedules to keep coverage and service in line with forecasted demands, implemented strategies to meet operational and sales targets, kept orderly accounting records and managed inventory control.

For the first year, I was assisting my boss. From August 2005 onwards, I was working as a plumber myself and managed the shop in addition to middle school.

After a year of English studies, I was accepted as an ordinary student in 2013 and proceeded to study part time while working. Particularly interesting study areas for me were heat pumps, renewable energy and process technology.

After taking the YOS exam, I was accepted to the undergraduate degree of Mechanical Engineering at Yildiz Technical University as an extraordinary student with the condition to for one year take English courses. None of my previous courses from when I was studying in Iran were accepted.

In my studies I focused on fluid and design engineering, and out of interest took several courses at the architecture department, focused on interior design. Due to political reasons, I was expelled from the university after two years of studies.
