I have been job hunting since last year with a Bcom Accounting Science Degree. It’s been hard to get a job and very damaging. But, at this event, I learned where I have to go and fix and other things I can do while job hunting that can improve my career. Please continue such events as they are really helpful and informative. Thank you.
