“I gained three months of experience in a marketing and communication role. I appreciate the chance I was given by my previous employer. I was a marketing and engagement intern.
“I have learnt many lessons this year, one being that my efforts may not always have a positive outcome. It's not every time that your efforts will result in a positive outcome.
“I have been putting in effort to apply for jobs related to my qualifications with no luck. I had attended seven promising interviews during a period of four months with no luck. But I kept on applying and didn't give up.”
University of Johannesburg grad strives
Maserame notes that the arduous job hunt greatly affected her, and she eventually had an emotional breakdown due to the stress of applying for jobs:
“I kept asking myself what it was that I was doing wrong in these interviews. That's when I decided to go back to my old job as a cashier. It's good not to burn bridges since you don't know when you will need that bridge again.
“I am grateful to Clicks for giving me yet another chance. Being unemployed is not fun. I took my pride and put it aside and found the courage to ask for my job back when I needed it.”
The strong woman remains hopeful that the right job will find her when the Almighty has ordained for it to happen:
“I believe when the time is right, God will provide me with the opportunity I deserve.”
