CV'S OF THE WEEK

Friday, February 8, 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen, round two of this new feature to this blog which I still need to find a name for.  These are the CV's of young, qualified but unemployed South Africans.  This time, the CV's are much more concise than last week, it looks better, last week's CVs involved too much scrolling.  I am currently working towards making this a separate tab within my blog, a place where people can actually fill in a form with their details so that all of them are concise and consistent. That should be in a couple of weeks Inshallah. These things need money and time but in the mean time, please bare with this might as well be HTML elementary amateurism.  That said, the important thing is that this information is out there, so here you go. If you would like to contact any of the people in these CV's, send an email to missmillib@gmail.com and if you would like to submit your CV for future posts, you can email the same address. Phambili.

CV 2 - This young woman is one of the many who study one thing and after graduating, find that they want to do something entirely different.  She has an impressive qualification but would like to explore opportunities in the marketing and branding space.
