Ömer Karanfil, who worked in the banking sector for a long time in Eskişehir, made a sudden decision to resign and returned to selling jerseys, a job he did in his childhood.
RESIGNED FROM BANKING
Living in Eskişehir, Ömer Karanfil decided to return to the jersey selling he engaged in during his childhood, resigning from the banking sector where he had worked for over 15 years. He opened the jersey shop he dreamed of in İstiklal Neighborhood and started his business. Karanfil stated that the idea of commerce seemed more attractive than working for a salary, and he shared that this job also reminded him of his childhood days. The tradesman, who has been working for many years, advised young people to walk the path they believe in and to be courageous.
RETURNED TO JERSEY BUSINESS WHILE AT THE PEAK OF BANKING
Expressing that he returned to commerce based on his past experiences, Karanfil said, "It wasn't easy; it was a tough choice because there is 16 years of effort involved. While I was at the peak of banking, I returned to the jersey business I did in my childhood. I was not a stranger to this sector either. I started my business life again based on my experience from what I did before." he explained.
Ömer Karanfil noted that it was not easy to suddenly give up the life he was accustomed to, saying, "My wife is a public servant and a teacher; her first reaction was negative. Because while there was an established order, we are embarking on a new adventure. She was anxious, but we broke that anxiety and prejudice by explaining the process I went through in the past and providing examples. I received her support. Together with my wife's support, we started a new life," he said.
ADVISED YOUNG PEOPLE NOT TO LOSE HOPE
Karanfil emphasized that young people should not lose hope, stating, "Like in every country, there are definitely economic difficulties in our country. There are many university graduates. The anxiety of finding a job is very high, but first and foremost, young people should never lose their courage. There should always be hope. If you have courage and hope, you will definitely hold on somewhere and develop yourself. Therefore, young people should never lose hope and should walk confidently towards their goals." he said.
