SKILLS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MY SUCCESS To identify what you don’t know. This makes you more aware of when you are able to contribute to a discussion and when you should refrain to educate yourself first.

ADVICE FOR GRADUATES ENTERING THE WORLD OF WORK The old age “pick one thing and stick to it” no longer rings true. Find your unique ability; go for where you feel inspired. Do the ground work. Every day is a step towards your future, own it.
HOW I OBTAINED MY CURRENT POSITION I applied to the Allan Gray Graduate Recruitment Programme, and worked my way towards my current position. Started as a consultant in Operations, I then progressed to a team leader, and finally to my current role.
“Always do more than what’s required in your core role.”
