    Hello!!! I’m a recent graduate in Logistics and I’m really struggling getting employment here in South Africa the unemployment rates are making life so difficult for us new graduates.

    • @QuirkyLivingSim
      @QuirkyLivingSim  Před 3 lety +4

      Thank you for watching! ☺️ No, that is not normal and I would be very careful of companies/agencies that ask for money as ot could be a scam. The recruitment agency is paid by the companies that advertise with them so you shouldn’t be expected to pay anything. I hope that helps!

    If you don't have a Visa, can you write on your CV that you don't have a visa and you require sponsorship?

    • @QuirkyLivingSim
      @QuirkyLivingSim  Před 3 lety

      I would suggest focusing on applying for jobs that will offer sponsorships and then you can mention on your CV that you require a work visa. A good place to start, is to look at the occupation shortage list as these are jobs that they need resources for in the UK. Here's the list: www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-shortage-occupation-list 😊

      Congratulations to your niece, that's great! My husband is also an engineer so I know that there are a lot of opportunities over here in that field! He mostly used CV Library to find job opportunities. I think a good place to start is to use the well-known job websites I mentioned because the ads will have to comply to certain policies so should be less of a risk. You can also Google the company or the recruitment agency that's mentioned in the ad and if nothing comes up I would definitely be suspicious. Also, if they ask you to pay any money, I would also not trust it at all.

      Hey Klaas, there are a lot of things that have an impact on this - the type of degree, which institution the qualification is from etc. My bachelors degree from the University of Pretoria is recognized in the UK, but for something like Accounting you might have to complete an additional exam so that you are qualified in the UK as well. I know this is the case for lawyers but not 100% sure about accountants. For my visa, I also had to submit my degree to UK Naric to get a certificate that states that my degree is valid in the UK as well. This is the website if you want to have a look: www.ecctis.com/

    • @JS-cz7vz

    • @QuirkyLivingSim
      @QuirkyLivingSim  Před 2 lety +1

      I would recommend looking for graduate programs in the UK that are open to foreigners. Even if the program is just for a few months/a year, it could still be an opportunity to find a more permanent job while you are here. With that type of degree you could potentially get a skilled worker visa, it's just finding the right company that can sponsor you.
