As you may or may not know I've always wanted to be a weather girl. There are various reasons for it but my main inspiration has been the best weather anchor in the world aka CNN's
Femi Oke.
With the news that e.tv's new 24-hour news service
was looking for weather anchors I decided the time had arrived to realise my dream by becoming one myself so I applied for a weather girl job.
I filled in the application form, sent through pics and filmed a video as an audition.
e.tv's new news service launches as a
new channel on DStv in May/June - e's already started their new morning breakfast show
Sunrise to tie in with it - and the deadline for job applications was 31st January.
The application form said that if you hadn't heard within two months you weren't successful - which I haven't - so I'm unfortunately not.
My only consolation to my shattered dream is that I studied the weather fiercely for at least two weeks before applying so I now know exactly what the maps and those symbol things mean.
I thought you'd have some fun seeing the failed audition - I couldn't get hold of a map for the background so I used Table Mountain instead. Here it is:
Looking back I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have badmouthed the weather service, LOL!
