Thanks for pointing out. I did applied for test positions but then being a programmer i dont have exclusive experience of various testing tools which are required. Still i shall apply and hope for the best

Easy. Launch your personal website. Keep a resume, blog and projects section to sell yourself.

to top up with what mp told, search for open source/voluntary projects and help them out. Get involved in something innovative, learn some thing new, like another language or testing tool which would help in your job search.

Answering to technical forums helps as well. And remember to devote at least 1 to 2 hrs for networking alone.

Oh my! I am currently in the stages of having to do a job research in SA. I am currently residing in S'pore and looking at your outcome, I am afraid i might not get a job also.

Can give me a few pointers on where to go to analyse on the employment prospects and opportunities in SA?

1. I am working in the telecommunication line. How is the job market in Adelaide?
2. How abt self-employment or small business opportunities?
3. Will I be able to cope w/o direct network support? How do I get support?

Someone. Pls assist.

Hi Nur,

The best thing is to find like skilled people and ask them these questions. Right now I dont have much idea about SA and neither am I from a telecommunications background.

I hope that some telecommunication forum members would surely help you in this.

Regards,
Royen

Bill Gates wouldn’t get a job in Australia because he has no local experience- just joking.
