Alhamdulillah - Update on getting a job despite hijab challenges

As context: I (20f) once posted while having a breakdown about how hard it is to find work in my Islamophobic country because they didn't accept my hijab. I deleted that earlier post out of embarrassment. Alhamdulillah I got a job! The gym where I interviewed told me initially they had already hired someone else, and that really crushed me because it meant more hours of searching for entry-level roles. I still thanked them, and the next day they called asking me to come in for training. I went and they gave me an overview of the gym and quizzed me to see how quickly I picked things up. They seemed impressed - I learn fast, mashAllah. Then I brought up the hijab because they have a uniform. At first she said no, but I talked with her about it. She mentioned that two other Muslim women had worked there and removed their hijabs while on shift and only wore them outside; she suggested I do the same. I explained gently that hijab has a different level of importance for each person and that I don’t even uncover my hair around male cousins, so taking it off for strangers wasn’t an option for me. She said she’d check with the manager, and they agreed on a compromise: I can wear my hijab as long as it doesn’t hide the uniform t-shirt, so I’ll tuck the extra fabric in. I think my mindset made a big difference. Before, I went into interviews fearful and convinced my hijab would be rejected even if there was a small chance. That day I walked in with a quiet, “why is my hijab even up for debate?” attitude. After reflecting I remembered the verse, “And Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves,” and it helped me remain steady. I’m still in training. It’s a small step, but I’m grateful - at least it’ll give me experience, and I get to use the gym for free, hehe. Alhamdulillah.
