Re: A professional job ...for a hijabi?
shah & afro, you both have exactly the attitude that will ensure professional success! There are some who would absolutely refuse to attend an event if alcohol were served or to attend a company function in an establishment serving alcohol. Or just refuse to shake hands without explanation, avoid contact with those of the opposite gender, etc etc. These are things which really need to be faced with the type of courage and conviction of self that you two apparently have. You do so nicely, keep to your faith and your way of life while ALSO blending in with a completely different culture. Not a small thing, and I hope that upper management in your companies see this - I'm sure they do and I'm sure that it makes you all the more invaluable for it.
