What was your first job? Where and when was it? How much did you earn?
My first job was working as a sales officer with GM Tumpeco in 1995. I was earning sh180,000 per month, including my transport allowance. Nonetheless, transport ended up consuming a big part of my salary.
What is the most enduring memory of your first job?
I was able to juggling between my sales job and acting. But the work was quite demanding, yet I had to write plays I was assigned by my theatre group.
Later, it became hard for me to hold onto the two jobs and still deliver effectively. So I quit the sales job and settled in the theatre industry to date.
What did you learn from it that makes you a better boss?
Working with GM Tumpeco under Gordon Wavamuno made me better at executing my roles as a boss.
After a while, I also worked with Super FM owned by Peter Sematimba, who was equally shrewd in business management.
In a way, I was influenced by the shrewdness of my former bosses to be an achiever in whatever I set out to achieve.
Did the first job change your career path or perspective of life?
No, it did not, but it changed my perspective of life as regards paying the full price of climbing the social ladder in my career as an actor and songstress.
By the time I joined the theatre industry, people had abandoned theatres. We had to work hard to win fans back.
