THE NEXT MORNING

I wake up, and check the time, it's  05:11am, I guess i woke up out of excitement. My excitement is overriding my sleep schedule.

I get off my bed, went to the bathroom, I even forgot that I'm on my periods, due to the excitement, I did my business and brushed my teeth then i got out of the bathroom and went back to my bedroom, I made my bed, did my everyday routine and bathe. Since it's early and it's not yet time, I decided to wear my bra and my short jeans and my white slippers. I make my way to the kitchen and make eggs with bread, I sit down and eat and watch instagram. After eating, I took a nap since I woke up early

It is now 08:24, and I had to bath again,I obviously don't know how to describe my outfit, but I can say I looked nice, I tied my braids and wore my golden isobel watch, took my phone, gloss, gum and put them in my purse.

I make my way to the living room and I find the girls chatting.

Mpilo: "you look nice"

Me: "thank you" I smile.

Njabulo: "I wish you the best kea"

Me: "thank you" I smile.

Lebo: "Kea my lovely sister!. As you get ready for this interview, I want you to remember a few things, you are capable, you are qualified, you are worthy. You've prepared well, and have so much to offer. Your unique experience, skills and perspectives will shine through." Those words went straight to my heart, they are beautiful words.

Njabulo: "Remember to breathe, relax and be yourself. Those who will meet you, they want to meet the amazing Kea that I know. You've got this, you're strong, intelligent and talented. Your passion and enthusiasm will light up the room. Go in there and own it! Show them your confidence, your smile and your sparkle." Oh my gosh, guys I'm gonna cry.

Mpiloenhle: " No matter the outcome, you'll learn and grow from this experience. And no matter what, we'll be here, cheering you on every step of the way." I love these girls mahn

Lebo: "You're not just interviewing for a job, you're taking a step towards your dreams. And I know you'll crush it! I love you, we love you.

Me: "I love you guys too" We hug each other. I make my way out and my uber is waiting at the gate, I get in and leave.

A FEW MINUTES LATER
TIME:09:00AM
AT THE NKOSI COMPANY PREMISES

I arrive at the Nkosi company premises, feeling confident and prepared. As I step out of the car, I take a deep breath, smoothing out my outfit. The sleek glass building towers above me, It's reflective surface gleaming in the morning light.

I grab my bag and walk towards the entrance, where I meet a friendly receptionist who greets me.

Receptionist: "Good morning, I'm Melokuhle Zungu! Welcome to Nkosi company premises. How can I assist you?"

Me: "Good morning miss Zungu! I'm Keamogetswe Molefe, I'm here for the interview.

Melokuhle: "ah, wonderful, let me check...(she checks the schedule). Yes, you're right on time. Please take a seat, and someone will be with you shortly." I nod, smile and take a seat, flipping through my notes one last time.

A few minutes later, the receptionist comes back with a woman who looks my age, she introduces her to me, her name is Thandi Mkhize, she greets me warmly in the conference room.

Thandi: " Miss Molefe, thank you for coming in today. I'd love to discuss your experience in digital marketing." I smile feeling confident, She nods opening a book.

Thandi: "Let's dive right in. Can you walk me through your social media strategy for XYZ corporations?" (XYZ represents a hypothetical company or entity).

I take a deep breath, launching into a detailed explanation of my campaign goals, target audience analysis, content creation, and engagement data points.

She listens attentively, scribbling notes.

Her: "impressive. How do you stay up-to-date with the lastest digital trends?

Me: "I regularly attend industry conferences, follow through learders and participate in online forums."

Her: " Excellent, How did you measure the success of a post?

Me: "I outline my data points"

Her: "Can you share an example of a successful campaign you led?" I describe a campaign that increased a company's corporation's website traffic by 50 percent through targeted social media ads and influencer partnership.

Thandi's expression turns thoughtful as she writes down, my words.

The interview concludes and Thandi stands.

Her: "Thank you Miss Molefe, You've demonstrated exceptional expertise in digital marketing. Mr Nkosi will be pleased.

I leave the conference room feeling hopeful, sensing that I've made a positive impression.

Thandi comes back.

Her: " hi again Miss M, my boss, Mr Nkosi, would like to meet you.

My heart skips a beat as I rise from my seat.
