The heat wave does not seem to cease anyone’s determination to get a new job. After all, the thirst is real, we all want a piece of the pie.2016 is the vision year, a year our country measures its development and progress over the past 50 years. Botswana gets to celebrate some of her achievements, the masses are amped up to have something to celebrate too. People are pressurised to work harder. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to achieve their goals this year. Some will, depending on the strategies they apply.
With unemployment being one of our biggest concerns as a nation we find young people, even veterans of different fields, spending ample time trying to figure out ways in which they can improve their lives or beat poverty. Reality is local companies can not accommodate the large number of unemployed people, poverty eradication schemes initiated by the government do not satisfy the wishes and interests of the intended benficiaries. Ironically there are job slots in companies reserved for desperate young women who would do anything to get a job. Drastic times call for drastic measures. I have met many young women in tertiary institutions who openly admit that they would “drop their panty” for a job. They say it is a small incident that pays off really well in the end.
