The “Job Browse” – finding a job in South Africa
The web has brought a lot more joy to aimless job “hunting”…you could call it the “Job Browse”. One has to be a little careful of doing just that though – browsing. I’ve seen some lovely looking jobs online, saved them to my Favourites and then totally forgotten about them. I think it’s because I’m still in migrant recovery state and I’m liking the luxury these pounds have afforded me to do the browsing.
For those wondering if there are indeed jobs in South Africa, look no further. I’ve compiled for you below, a list of my preferred job spots with comments on the browsing experience. As I’m new to this game, I’m sure the list will grow and change organically.
Industry-specific jobs: -
Bizcommunity.com: Jobs in Media / Marketing / Advertising Industry. Easy to find what you’re looking for.
The Skills Portal: Focus on Human Resources, Training/Learning and Development. Informative resource.
Role-specific jobs: –
Compujobs.co.za: Easy-on-the-eyes interface with location/sector/skill level/job type/employer criteria.
Intuitive job-searching all industries and careers: -
Jobspace.co.za: Interesting Blog format with blog search capability, categories and tags.
PNet: Clean site offering jobs by category, recruiter and search. Offers email job alerts.
Careerjunction.co.za: So many jobs! Useful search results for the broader browse.
Less-intuitive job-searching sites: –
Careerjet: Feeds mostly from Gumtree – often with expired links. Search results quite random.
Careers4u: Job type title search best. No job posting dates. Page two results came up with null return.
If you prefer to search by rated employer, here is a link to the Best Employer South Africa Website.
We’ve also put together some live job feeds at 2010 cape town and sorted them by job type in the toolbar.
I hope you find something enticing to match your skills and come to SA soon!
