Why Financial Management N6
I choose to study Financial Management because when I was in school I fell
In love with it, I had a good attitude towards it and loving my teacher.
I then realised that accounting is my thing, I got interested and
I was enjoying calculating it. I was also motivated by my high school teacher
To do my best not to give up when things are not going well.
Internship
I heard about GWConnect from a friend, he created a profile for me then I did the follow up by calling
Kgaugelo to ask if they had my profile, they told me they got it and said if the is something
coming on my department they will call me. One of the blessing days after waiting on them
They called me and ask for me to update my personal description, later she called inviting me foran interview. Kgaugelo was so patient and polite when she was talking to me because
I didn’t hear her but she never gave up on me until I get the internship.
Company
I am now an intern at OUTEX and I am learning a lot. My mentor (Lydia Modiba) is very helpful and all the colleagues at OUTEX are very friendly and helpful. What I am learning at OUTEX is very relevant to what I have studied at college. All thanks to GWConnect and OUTEX for making this opportunity available for me.
