Hi there- I would like to work in South Africa- preferably in Cape Town, as I just returned from there. I truly loved it and would like to go back for some time. Anyone have some ideas for me? I'm not a professional, I just graduated university, so I am finding it a bit tough to find anything. I'm also not quite sure where I should be looking. Perhaps someone has some advice out there.

Hi there

What's your name?

I live in Cape Town and may be able to help.

Please tell me, have you ever worked in England?

Hi, no I have not worked in England before.

Do you have any ideas for how to find work in Cape Town? I was thinking of doing a working-holiday, it may be easier to get a visa that way. I just need to find someone to hire me.

I know a UK company that hires people without qualifications if they have knowledge of the UK. That's what I had in mind, but as you haven't been to the UK, I'm not sure if they'd still take you. They have plenty of jobs at the moment and the salary is about R8000 per month. Not a lot if you convert it to your currency, but life in SA is cheap. What kind of work experience do you have?

Try the Gumtree website and go to South Africa, Cape Town. Unfortunately, this forum does not allow me to post the link, but Google it.

Hi,

Sorry to 'barge' in on this post, but myself and my partner are intending to move to Cape Town in the next 8 weeks time, our intention was also to gain employment once there.

I've sent you a PM, please could you view it.

Thanks
