Frustration and Hope
You wake up in the morning and it seems like everything is getting worse as the days go by.
The health sector is a mess as people die because of lack of bed space, as ridiculous as this sounds, it happens and I am so ashamed of my country.
“Thomas! Thomas!” I heard someone call out my name.
I was too frustrated to trace the voice of the caller, my country was dealing with me and I had no time for small talk.
This was my 11th time of going for an interview and people keep saying they have found the right candidates and the interview was just for formality's sake. Imagine people giving human beings like themselves false hope that they are going to get a job. People prepare, pray, and dress up for this interview only to be part of a big scam?
If they found the right candidate why go through the stress of putting up a show and deceiving educated and competent graduates?
I’m trying so hard to have confidence in the system but my country keeps failing me, my country keeps shattering my heart into a thousand pieces.
When will tribalism and nepotism stop? When will people be awarded contracts or jobs based on merit instead of who is behind them? When are we going to get to the point where my social class or background will not deprive me of something I worked so hard for? When?
While I pray for things to get better I shall go prepare for my 12th interview.
Thanks for reading my blog!
