Model Georgina Wilson Shares the Keys To Career Success For Fresh Grads

With hopes of being successful after finishing a degree, there are many tips to keep in mind from people who came and experienced a lot of ups and downs before us.

This time, it’s Filipina-British model, actress, host, and celebrity endorser Georgina Wilson’s turn to give fresh graduates a shot of inspiration and insight in the arm.

With a wealth of experiences and lessons learned based on her stints at the Ateneo De Manila University, where she studied BS Economics, then at the University of Sydney in Australia, where she finished with a Bachelor of Commerce, Accounting and Finance Double Major.

Along with that experience came a post-schooling phase that she calls “a challenging time” in her life. Georgina Wilson shares these nuggets of wisdom from her experience in an article written by Alexa Villano of Rappler.

Georgina says that a key lesson for newly-graduated students to remember is to have a work ethic that is second to none, one that is willing to go the extra mile:

“It doesn’t matter what you’re good at so as long as you work hard, set yourself apart and you give your all. You’ll never feel like work is work,”

The Filipina-British model also advises students to be true to themselves, and that the career path to take is yours to decide only:

“The most successful people are not people that are doing careers that somebody told them is going to do. There are people who follow what they know, they really reflect what ‘am I good at? What are my strengths?’”

These keys to success have served Georgina well, as she has now thrown her hat into the entrepreneurial ring by being one of the partners of Sunnies Studios, which is an optical brand for eyewear that she has also partaken in founding last 2013. She is also one of the handlers of Sunnies Face, which ventures into the beauty and makeup industry.

Apart from her success in the field of business and endorsements with brands like Avon, Bench, and magazine deals like Mega, she is currently a mother to three children, with her youngest daughter Charlotte Arabella, born last year.
