I push a mouse around my desk all day and answer lots of questions. Why I don't know.

I would rather be flying

Hi ZS-NEL

The key to finding employment is to apply for as many positions as possible.

The last time I changed jobs I sent out 80 applications - Probably about 6 interviews resulted of which I got 3 offers. Not a great statistic if you think about it. If I wanted 12 interviews I would have had to send out 160 applications :shock:

You must be aggresive in your approuch to finding work. It's easy go to career junction and apply, apply, apply - Click of a mouse

Sorry it’s NOT my intension to highjack this.

Thanks this is good advice BIG D and I'm doing just that. However I found all recruitment agencies are one BIG scam. There is no regulating body for this industry in SA and 75% of the jobs advertised by them do not exist. They do that to look good and get more clients to advertise jobs with them. This I heard from the horse’s mouth. A very time consuming and highly costly exercise for me to attend all their interviews.... and I have attended quite a lot.
However I'm not giving up.... forgive me for the "advertising" of my photo and video service on here as I need to stay afloat until I land that job.

ZS-NEL,

The best bet is to put your CV on pnet.co.za, and they come looking for you! You'll be amazed at the responses you get. Especially being from an Engineering background.
