UNLEASHED (CREATIVITY) BOTS

NARROW CHANNELS

Well, finally am in Bots and by that seeking ways to handle CG works down here. It as well a great inspiration when I get an offer at Saatchi & Saatchi Botswana through these narrow channels of employment…I didn’t consider it anything apart from fruits of my better portfolio. I understand to some my portfolio is not that appealing and creative but the fact lies with competition per country. Botswana is a still developing country in many aspects of fields, but we do have lot of degree graduates without jobs strolling towns and cities. To get a chance in this tight market requires nothing but to be little outstanding to the rest. The country still believes in Curriculum Vitae, Decades of experiences and stuffs, but you do a little sneaky thing to capture their attention, you won them surely.

Let me highlight about my peers. One observation that I realized in most guys and girls from creative fields is we don’t take it seriously. I know it’s that challenging to be that “wow” creative folk, but the way most of us compete is not according to the international standard and not even close neither national to the current era of lifestyle and rapid Tech. I guess by doing that we could be better to change this scenario in Botswana. You find that our portfolio become inappropriate to be seen by employers since they still believe in CVs but I guess if the portfolio is that attractive, we could differentiate ourselves from other folks from areas of Public administrations, Finance, IT and PRs..cause they do not need creative portfolio but CVs and experience.
