YOUTH TESTIMONIALS
What Youth Says About Us
So one of the admin posted about learnership programme for sales & marketing. I applied both posts and received calls for both interviews and passed. Now, both companies pay well and are interested in me. I'm now confused. This group work.
Admin I would like to share my testimony...I once asked for help about drill & blast interview questions from you guys and they really helped me a lot. Last week Friday I signed a contract at Black Rock Mine, hired to start Monday.
My first encounter with Sayda WhatsApp Group, I had my suspicions that it was a scam until I found relevant business opportunities that worked to my advantage. Thank you very much, now I found my way.
