Well well well...could it be? A prayer answered. A
wish granted. Karma in reverse.
Pay your dues: it has become lesson number one in
2012. I've spent the past year doing runt work, sending 2 applications a day
and attending interviews with no follow-ups. If you refer to my "PickMe" post, you'll see that I was getting quite edgy about it.
The angst had built to a climax in the past couple
of weeks when a friend of mine, Karabo Mafisa said "Phaks, you have to pay
your dues". And like any light bulb moment, I had nothing to reply. I kept
replaying the words like a new motto. Within the same week I was called in for
an interview with a global public relations company. The following week they
sent me a writing assessment; I met the MD and was sent a contract to begin
work with them immediately.
In a quick twitter survey, I asked my followers
what their first jobs were and here are some responses:
-"Worked at a film festival and loved it!' -
Lauren Rosenburg
-"I was a library assistant...it was
alright.I'm now an international criminal lawyer/researcher. I love it!"
-Princess Ailitto
-"I was a waiter in my first year. Hated the customers but it made some decent money" - Jasmine
-"I was a waiter in my first year. Hated the customers but it made some decent money" - Jasmine
Rod Stewart was a grave digger before he became a
rock star and Beyonce Knowels worked at her moms hair salon whilst singing her
way to fame. So lesson learnt universe, one must start at the bottom to rise to
the top.
