Job search answers
I'm interested in one of the jobs advertised, what do I do?
Please contact the employer that has advertised the vacancy. The contact details should
be shown together with the rest of the vacancy details.
Do NOT contact us, we only advertise the vacancies, that's all.
I'd like to find out more about one of the vacancies I've seen advertised, who do I contact?
Please contact the employer that has advertised the vacancy, they will be able to tell you more.
The contact details should be published together with the rest of the vacancy details.
Do NOT contact us, the only information we know about the jobs is what is already
published on this site, so we won't be able to tell you more.
I can't find any job in my professional field/location, what am I doing wrong?
Probably you are doing nothing wrong. Simply, there isn't any employer that has advertised any job
in your field/location.
A couple of days ago I saw a job advertised, but I can't find it now,
could you contact me with the advertiser?
No we can't. If the advert is not there any longer, it's because the advertiser doesn't
want to receive more applications.
I want to apply for one of the jobs advertised, but I haven't been able to contact the employer.
Could you please provide alternative contact details or could I contact them through you?
No you can't. All we know about the jobs is what is already published on the page.
If some of the information is wrong, or the employer doesn't reply, there is nothing we can do.
I don't have a work permit, can I apply for the jobs advertised?
The jobs advertised are intended for individuals who have permission to live and work in South Africa,
unless the advert states otherwise. Please make sure you meet this legal requirement before applying.
How do I use the symbols + and - in the search box?
Using the symbols + and - you can force or ban keywords in the search results. Keywords
without any of these two symbols will be optional.
For instance, if you write "+secretary bilingual", only the adverts that contain the
word "secretary" will match, being the word "bilingual" optional. If you write
"+secretary bilingual german -french", the results will always include the word "secretary"
but will never include the word "french", and the other two words are optional.
