Question how to find a job

Hi All,

I need information from you all people who managed to get job in SA,

I would like to know, if you can tell me, how you were able to grab a job there in SA.

I used to work there earlier and since I came back I m not able to come back.

I am having almost 5 year exp in Dataware housing, and though I can see so many requirements in net for same.
Don’t know if people get job there based on personal contact.

Any help will do

With Kind regards
A

You need to be there to get a face-to-face interview.
Why would a manager risk a phone interview with someone he can't see who may have fake references?
You would qualify as an Affirmative Action applicant (being from India), so you shouldn't have a problem getting a job.

However the world is currently in a recession and the U.S is shipping THOUSANDS of jobs to India. So if you already have a job in India, why move?

Yeah they were very keen to absorb me, I almost got job there, then they came to know that they have to Run Ad in news paper , in order to provide me for VISA application.

They took so Long In coming back On that.
And After sometime, That manager herself Left company.

now i inquired abt status, But they dont have budget For more resources.
Though they are short Of resources.

All my bad luck, i guess....

i enjoyed working At that place, had nice smiling people All around me.
