“Job hunting was a stressful journey. I sometimes felt like I did not have enough qualifications to be employed.
“At home, the only source of income we had in 2022 was my mom's pension, and it wasn't enough for seven people.
"The journey was depressing, but I always had faith that something would come up.”
The woman who formerly sold mielies hopes to make some home improvements
Lungile explains that she would love to contribute to her household and help her family:
“[I also want to] extend my mom's RDP house and renovate her bedroom.
“There's a lot I want to do, even though I won't be able to do it all at once, but I will eventually help with the expenses.”
The hard-working graduate states that her joy about the new job had her in disbelief:
“I didn't believe it. I even said to the lady who called me, ‘are you kidding me?’”
Sharing her news on LinkedIn, Lungile received well-wishes on her post, which was captioned:
“She is hired! CV passed the system. Interview passed. Offer received. Contract signed. IT technician position. We wrap up 2022 on a high note.”
The newly employed woman is a typical example of what happens when hard work meets resilience.
