Hey dolls
I hope you've had a week full of learning and personal growth. I'm still recovering from what all those celebrities did to us at the Met Gala, after all these years of adoration and support.
Anyway, I have some really good CV's this week, and one job vacancy that I got from a friend who works at the United Nations. (In Q-Tip voice) Herrrrrrrreeeeeeee we go:
The first CV came with this cover letter that got me so excited that I've literally just copied and pasted it:

Anyway, I have some really good CV's this week, and one job vacancy that I got from a friend who works at the United Nations. (In Q-Tip voice) Herrrrrrrreeeeeeee we go:
The first CV came with this cover letter that got me so excited that I've literally just copied and pasted it:
''I
recently graduated with a BA degree in African Literature and History , and I
am currently completing my Honours Degree in African Literature at the University
of the Witwatersrand. I am passionate about Africa(fashion, art, film, music)
and my research focus is African pop culture, cinema and music. I love writing
and putting together producing content for different platforms.I am currently
involved in a few projects outside of my studies. I volunteer for a youth
development NGO called enke: Make Your Mark and I write for a youth publication called Live Mag SA, on a
freelance basis. You can find some of my work on their online platform http://livemag.co.za/author/ntombenhle/. I
prefer to work full days on Thursday and Friday, however I am flexible
and I have resources that allow me to work independently. I am also looking for
some kind of mentorship and networking opportunities that can help me
establish future career prospects. Please have a look at my CV and I
will be more than happy to provide you with any additional requirements.''
I mean need I say more? I read the CV and it's pretty impressive. While studying at Wits, this young woman has been a tutor to first year Literature and Law students as well as teaching English online. She's been involved in a number of organisations whose aim is to improve the state of the youth in SA, most notably a week long forum that invites Grade 11 pupils from around the country to participate in its annual programme. Her courses at Wits include Antropology, English, Political Science and International Relations. She lives in Soweto, speaks English and Zulu and is 22 years old.
The Second CV belongs to a young man in his twenties who lives in Port Elizabeth but would like to move to Johannesburg. He studied Tourism Management at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Museum in Port Elizabeth. He also completed a business plan writing course (how many times have I wished to know someone who can write a business plan?). For the past 3 years has worked at Shosholoza Meyl and Metrorail as a ticket handling official and accounting manager. I suspect he is too shy to put this on his CV but a few years ago, I came across a CD that this guy made with his band and it was actually pretty good. Not sure how I obtained it but when I received his email, I remembered it was the guy with the really cool music. He probably wants to come to Joburg to do big things.
