YES Network Namibia Career Workshop

On 21 April 2017, YES Network Namibia held its first event of the year;  a career workshop where we had great speakers with different levels of experience sharing their knowledge in an honest manner. Our line-up included two experienced geologists and two younger geologists who would provide a diverse but informative session.

The first presenter, Kombada Mhopjeni spoke on Planning a Career, this requires using every single tool in the box life provides, from first year all the way to after graduation.  Ingrid Stengel gave an illuminating talk on etiquette and how to give a good impression focusing on respecting the people we meet as well as our Science; which more than anything requires us to go the extra mile.

From the younger generation of Moses Angombe and Josephine Itengula each spoke on Cover Letter Writing and Interview Questions respectively. These two topics resonated well with the audience as more and more questions were asked after the presenters were done.

All in all, this workshop was a great start and we look forward to having more real soon. Our gratitude goes out to the speakers who made time and those who contributed in the different forms.
