Touching Moment: Deaf Woman Shares News of Getting a Job with Shop Owner

A touching moment between two deaf women and a shop owner has gone viral on social media. Using sign language and joyful expressions, the two women shared that they had officially been accepted for jobs.

In a TikTok post by @han.shop25, a woman wearing a white jacket and black hijab is seen greeting the shop owner. “Hello,” she says, seemingly indicating that she had just finished work.

The shop owner, upon hearing the news, expressed pride in their achievement. “Working?” the shop owner asked. “Working,” the deaf woman replied.

The woman asked the shop owner to wait for a moment. She then brought over her friend, who is also deaf, and immediately showed the shop owner their employee cards from the Matahari department store.

“Have you started?” the shop owner asked. Both women appeared very enthusiastic as they shared the good news with the shop owner. Hearing their story, the shop owner then asked when they would officially start working at the department store. “Have you been working for a while?” the shop owner asked. “Not long,” they both replied.

The two deaf women then took the shop owner’s hand to shake it as a sign of respect. After that, the shop owner asked about the woman wearing the white jacket and black hijab. “And you? Are you working?” the shop owner asked. “Working,” the woman replied. “The same job?” the shop owner asked again. “The same,” the woman replied.

Both women then smiled broadly while showing their employee ID cards from the department store again. Happiness was clearly visible on their faces. The post quickly garnered many positive responses from social media users. Many praised the department store for giving the two deaf women the opportunity to work. “To the HRD of Matahari, I hope you are always healthy and successful,” one netizen commented. “Aaa, the story is so exciting! So cute,” another commented. “Good luck with your work, both of you! And thank you to everyone for the appreciation and positive comments. Hopefully, Matahari can continue to provide equal opportunities for anyone to work and contribute,” responded the official account of the department store.
