“I got something even though it's not permanent but my journey has been fantastic. I have done interviews with more than 10 companies and gained a lot of exposure in terms of interviews.”
“Since our last chat, I have been busy with interviews. The last four months have been nothing but interesting.”
The fitter and turner is happy to be employed, despite the impermanence of the position she holds:
“I’m currently working as a fitter in a company that is based in Germiston. It’s a foundry.”
Fitter and turner hopeful
Nhladiseng remains optimistic about her job prospects. She wants to study further and notes that there’s still so much she’d love to learn:
“I have learned that it’s never too late to start afresh and if you put your mind to something, you can achieve it.
“When I was still looking for a job, I realised that I needed to go back to school and further my studies. Even though it’s challenging, I feel I was too lazy and relaxed and neglected my studies. In 2024, I’m looking forward to enrolling for a degree.”
Determined lady grinds hard as engineer
In another inspiring story about female success, Briefly News also wrote about an incredibly diligent young woman from Gauteng who works within the engineering field and left South Africans inspired.
On LinkedIn, Charity Podile posted a picture of herself hard at work, wearing blue overalls. Commenting on the snap, many netizens commended the young lady for her hard work, with others cautioning her always to be safe and wear a helmet to protect herself from injuries while on the grind.
