Completing my tertiary education was with a mix feelings, something I am sure happens to most people. The thought of being my own lady, working and earning an income was super exciting. It almost felt like a little girl's at her first birthday party(smiles). And true, I had friends who had had an impact in my life that most family members will never have. But TG for technology, they will be closer than ever.
The fear of unemployment did struck in my mind a few times but my fingers were well crossed, more like fasted in rock that could not be move. After receiving a call to take an aptitude test at the UG Hall, a certain calmness filled my heart(quite soothing tho).
No long talk, I made it, challenging but I made it. It was the beginning of greater challenges, obstacles, (think of all the adjectives) ahead. From doing nothing in the office, to credit appraisal, to booking officer, then the ship begun to sink deep into the storms.
Now it was no longer, the career lady who knew who she wanted to be. I was literally begging for a placement. My first six months contract ended before it actually began. From corporate politics, "politrix", and irrelevant hatred, kept getting in my way.
this is part where emotions sets in.........................................................................................................
After 18 months of active service, hard work and dedication, no permanent job. Its amazing how you work passionately but it is a role you never wanted growing up ie career expectation.
