He continues his 59-year-old career with the same enthusiasm as the first day: "I even do this job in my dreams."

Stating that tailors were among the busiest workplaces in the past, Zenk said that he continues to do his job with love and desire.

Stating that he established a tailor shop in the district center in 1968, Zenk stated that he has been continuing his profession in the district since then.

Zenk, pointing out that she has never put down scissors in her hand in 59 years, said, "After finishing primary school, I first worked in a restaurant. I started tailoring in 1966 and opened my own shop in 1968. I've been working since then."

Zenk, emphasizing that he never considered quitting his profession, said, "I'm used to it; it's ingrained in my soul. I even dream of doing it. It's so ingrained in my soul. I can't sleep in the mornings. I wake up at 7 a.m. every morning and open the shop at 8 a.m. I work until 5 p.m. I work with my son as much as I can. I've never put my scissors down."

Zenk, noting that the suits he makes are still popular, said, "We mostly produce men's suits, including jackets, trousers, and vests. We also do various repairs. Although the demand for suits has decreased, there's still demand. I'm the only one making suits in this region."

Zenk, who described tailoring as a "golden profession," said, "I always worked with two journeymen, and there was demand. There are no apprentices anymore. Young people don't prefer it."

Zenk added that he will continue his career as long as his health allows.

Mehmet Zenk's son, İlyas Zenk, said he was happy to work with his father in the same workplace for 37 years.
