Getting ‘interview ready’
Boniface Knight
Boniface talks about her experience taking part in our employment programme in Uganda.
The skills I have learned will help me improve my career and advance professionally. I strongly believe after the training I will be able to get a good and well-paying job.
My name’s Boniface and I live in Uganda. I am hard of hearing. Growing up I completed primary and secondary school.
I couldn't compete
I went on to get a bachelor’s degree in Community Based Rehabilitation at Kyambogo University. During my studies I did face some challenges. Mainly this affected how I received information during lessons.
Before I took part in Leonard Cheshire’s employment project I felt I was discriminated against. I believed I could not compete against other candidates for waged employment, even though I had studied lots and have a bachelors degree.
Building confidence
This project has helped build my confidence and has taught me a lot. I feel I can now write a good CV and feel ready to compete during interviews. The skills I have learned will help me improve my career and advance professionally.
I strongly believe after the training I will be able to get a good and well-paying job.
