In Venezuela I worked as a product developer and my passion was to develop a women's clothing range. So when I arrived in Australia my dream was to run an international women's' fashion company with products imported from Venezuela.
I began by dream in 2012 by working part-time in a Mexican restaurant while studying English full-time. I was exhausted, nonetheless money was what I needed. My next job was as a sandwich and salad maker in a salad bar. I had to work long hours. Finally I worked in a small coffee shop close to the city of Sydney. I began as a waitress, but soon my boss trained me in a managerial role, since he saw my professional and a proactive nature.
At first I learnt English privately and progress was slow because I had to start learning English from scratch. Next I began learning English in the Navitas AMEP classroom, then switched to Navitas Distance Learning as I was working. DL has given me the opportunity to study and work at the same time and has also boosted my confidence in speaking with people. My teacher's encouragement has driven me to to work hard towards my dream.
Congratulations to Giovanna for reaching her dream and starting her jewellery and accessories business.

DeleteGiovanna you are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWell done, step by step you got there, many people would have given up. DL English lessons can really bridge the gap and allow students to work as they study and working is a great way to consolidate your English, I'm sure many would be encouraged by your journey.
Your story is encouraging Giovanna!
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own business I would sell Vietnamese street food and I'd advertise my business in the local newspaper and letter box leaflets.

ReplyDeleteHi Giovanna! Well done! If I have a business of my own I want to have a small cafe in our town Wagin. My friend and I are planning to form a business partnership.
