Testimonials
Steve Goold
"HRD deprtmental manager at MBSA;
When I applied to join MBSA Graduate Development Programme, I made it through to the interviews / assessments stage but I didn't get the position. My manager said I didn't get the position simply because I am dominant, and I am strong / controlling.
I saw this rejection feedback as a positive one and I believe that the next position I should hold should be a challenging one, and a position that would allow me to be the leader that I have always been." - 2012

"A lecturer at Wits University wrote:
" To whom it may concern
I have known Mitta Xinindlu over the course of 2010 in my capacity as her lecturer for Strategic Management (Management 3) and Human Resources Management III at the University of the Witwatersrand.
I have also worked with Ms. Xinindlu in 2011 as she has reported to me in terms of the working obligations associated with her Academic Merit Bursary which she was awarded for her Bachelor of Commerce Honours Degree.
Ms. Xinindlu has consistently been a committed student and has participated extensively in class and in tutorials. Her Bursary work, which has included research, invigilation and other duties, has been of the highest standard.
On the basis of my experience, I would strongly recommend Ms. Xinindlu both in terms of further studies and as a potential employee. "" - 2011
