New Job, New Chapter: My life so far...working as an Intern.
Well, it's been a while that i haven't posted a written blog post, but let's just say "so many stuff has happened in my life." But, to whoever is reading this, let me put you up to speed what's been poppin' in my life... long story short: Have been staying at home, unemlpoyed since after my graduation, last year. As always, recording song on my laptop and now taking TLP Music (my music organisation/company), to another level - being an official partner and division with SLIK Studios and the KZN Midlands Youth Choir. And now, I’ve turned to the next chapter of my life - my new job.
I now work, as an intern at Computer Skills for Africa, which is not the kinda job I would expect to be in my field (in Music), but I do know a bit more about computers. to explain my experience so far, I had to write an article about my experience so far as an intern:
‘CS4A Internship – My Experience
“Well, it’s quite a learning process, I must say.” – That is probably my introductory quote for this post. But, let me introduce myself properly. My name is Thembinkosi Khumalo, and I am an Intern at Computer Skills for Africa.
So far, my experience here at CS4A is well, a little, intimidating, based on the challenges and tasks I face on my day-to-day basis (considering the fact that I work two days a week). I’ve been an intern since 7 June 2017. Not only do I work here as an intern, but I also learn and study to get my other qualifications, for example, my GCP, ICDL, etc. I was a little intimidated about the pass mark for GCP Assessment, which, in my high school and college experience, “GAINING A 100% MARK IS NOT THAT EASY!” …but, it’s worth a try.
To describe my feeling on working here, well, I would say for now, I am happy working here and learning to adjust into the CS4A environment. From what I experienced so far, well, it was a little bit challenging, but I have managed to get through every week. And I say this, it’s quite a learning process, but that’s what happens when you learn new things as a person, out of your comfort zone. It’s a bit fun to work here (even if you get mentally tired in front of the computer working), but it’s something that I deal with in my life. I’m grateful for this job, and I thank God for guiding me. I also thank my mom and grandma for their encouragement and support, and I thank the CS4A Team by having me as their intern, and to be part of their CS4A Family.’
But then, there would be a time I would take another step in my life, not knowing if I wanna switch lanes or stay on my lane....Oh, well, we’ll never know. Time will tell
And probably, you might be wondering, “What about Music? Will I still carry on with it?”.... and my answer: Music will always be part of my life, and will never die away from me. However, it will be challenging if I get a permanent position at work but somehow, I’ll have to make time for it.... cannot let it go. Music will always and forever more, live.
