Curriculum Vitae Of Lerato Ntsooa PERSONAL DETAILS About me I am a go-getter who never lets circumstance determine my future. Due to lack of funds I had to take a gap year from school. But I did not let that determine my future as I quenched my entrepreneurial thirst and approached a local Pub/Restaurant and asked them to sell food outside the pub to try and raise funds for my studies. Because of my determination and dedication within a week I was offered an opportunity to rent the kitchen inside the club (Feb – June 2014. I heard of the Digify programme on the radio and I instantly applied as I am very interested in Digital World. During the programme I learned a lot about digital marketing and developed a lot of digital marketing skills, but I am mostly interested in social media strategy as well as creating ads on Google AdWords. I enjoy social media strategy because I am very active on social media and I am interested in AdWords because I like the challenge of the bidding system and fighting for the top position with other advertisers.
