bondingobeni@yahoo.comDear Sir/Madam

I have a very strong background in working with people. I am also very adaptable and I believe I
canfit in to many jobs. With my experience working at both UNISA¶s Bureau for Career,
Counsellingand Academic Development as an assistant student counsellor and at the Society for
Family Health,on a reproductive health program, as a field coordinator, I have a diverse
background with so much tooffer. On top of that, I am a counselling Psychology student, my
degree is pending, hopefully 2011.

My first job was on voluntary basis at UNISA as a peer counsellor. I worked in that position for
ayear then got promoted and given a contract into being an assistant student counsellor. There I
helpedstudents with different academic and career options/ problems and help them to make an
informeddecision. I also held different workshop to help equip them with skills to overcome
challenges thatmight arise during their studies. Time management, study skills, stress management,
exam preparations were but amongst some of the topics covered in those workshops. On that job,
I receivedtraining on counselling.

Being a field coordinator at Society for Family Health afforded an opportunity for growth. I had
moreresponsibilities, a team to lead and also having to manage finances for our monthly allowance.
Iimplemented a reproductive health program in schools, clinics and in the communities at
large.Emphasis was placed more on the prevention of unplanned pregnancy and the dangers of
going for anunsafe abortion services. We educated young girls and women on how contraceptives
work,abstainance and condom usage. From this, I have develop, leadership skills, peoples
skills,networking and creating partnerships, working with people (which I enjoy very much),
managingfinances among other things. Another highlight in that job has been, successfully
implementing this program in seven different locations in Free State and leading a team of
nineteen peer counsellors.The director of the programme selected me to be the one implementing
the programme in Free Stateand I did that with excellence. I have also gained much driving and
map reading experience, and I amvery familiar with many places as each week in 2010 I had to
travel to Free State for 2-3 days.Around Gauteng, I worked in Johannesburg, Mamelodi,
Soshanguve, Mabopane, Pretoria, Diepsloot,Ivory Park, Orange Farm, Honeydew, Daveyton,
Thokoza and Carletonville.
I am a highly motivated person, not fazed by challenges. I think out of the box and I look at
achallenge as a motivation. I am not only a hard worker but a smart one too. I am energetic and
verycreative, very resilient and with an innate ability to solve problems rationally, within a given
time.One of my strongest point is my ability to communicate in more than 7 South African
languages, inaddition to Xitsonga being my mother tongue. I humbly request you to consider me
for this positionas I have so much to offer.Thank you for your consideration.Respectfully
yoursBongani Austin Ngobeni
