Happy Friday bahlali
Well I said I'm going to do this and now I'm doing it. After posting about the lack of employment opportunities for young people in this country on Tuesday, I have had a positive response to the idea. I have received about 8 CV's so far and even got a request to go on a radio show to talk about this idea. I'll let you know when it happens. So here goes, today I will post three fantastic CV's. All of them are from young women in their 20's who did what we are ''supposed to do'', they went to good schools and good Universities and are now looking for work. Two are in the fashion industry, the first studied at the prestigious Polimoda Institution of Fashion Design and Marketing in Italy and the other has a diploma in Fashion Design from the Tshwane University of Technology. The third woman has a Bachelor of Business Science Degree from The University of Cape Town.
Please note, the names of the CV holders as well as the references are omitted but if you are a potential employer, please contact me by emailing missmillib@gmail.com to request the details of somebody you are interested in contacting. All of the CV holders are South African citizens based in Johannesburg. They are all black women.
