Living your life according to your own rules

As a women, we are faced with many challenges. We are constantly being told how to live our lives. As a women you should be able to make your own decisions that will benefit you and lead you towards your own success without being scared of being judged. 

As a woman in the HR environment, I have my own challenges. I am not respected by my male counterparts and they don't trust the decisions I make - which is frustrating considering that we are all equal. But I have shown them that I am a strong woman and I am fully capable of doing my job without being monitored or second guessed. I have learnt how to stand-up for myself and embrace my womanhood. I didn't get my current job by chance but my manager saw that I had passion and the willingness to learn, which are important elements that anyone needs in order to be successful in their own career fields or any other aspects of their lives.

Without passion, you won't have the desire to achieve beyond your limits and without the willingness to learn you won't have any interest to learn more about yourself and what you can achieve. A woman with those two basic elements is a force to be reckoned with - a simple #GirlBoss.

Wear neutral colors, ensure your clothes are clean, keep jewelry to a minimum, smell good and ensure that your outfit is comfortable as that will boost your confidence. Ensure that your breath does not have a foul smell. Do research about the company, know what they are all about so that you are prepared for questions related to the company. Interviewers ask questions such as, "What do you understand about our company?" because they are testing whether or not you are interested in being part of the company. In gen

GRADUATED... now what?

If you have recently graduated and received your degree, congratulations. That’s a great achievement. That is something you should be proud of. Your hard work and sleepless nights have finally paid off and you are now a graduate. But why is it hard to find a job? Did I do the wrong qualification? Is there a need for people with this qualification? Those are questions most graduates ask themselves and I also went through that phase. It was frustrating and I felt defeated, like I had studied the wrong course. The honest truth is at university we are not prepared for the work environment. We are not taught how to transition from university to the workplace. And if that was done, the unemployment rate of graduates in South Africa would not be high. It is even worse when you do not have any work experience. Ever went through job portals and it is like all the job adverts you are reading require individuals with over 3 years work experience? Obviously, you are straight out
