When being retrenched or searching for a job, can cause you to be desperate for ‘anything’. And this can cause your job search to be endless – due to jobs such as ‘anything’ not existing. Here is what I learnt on how to be shortlisted for interviews:

I have shared previously how I was retrenched and dug my way out of the unemployment hole a few times. While more and more people are being made redundant, retrenched, or put-on short time I have a few options while you job search. I share these 7 ideas when I get a CV sent to me and hope they can help you go from unemployed to employed in a different way

2021 has arrived and you have decided it is time for a new job (or you were affected badly by COVID-19 and retrenched and need a job). You start your job search on www.google.com, www.linkedin.com, www.CareerJunction.co.za, www.PNET.co.za, www.Careers24.co.za, www.Indeed.com, www.Gumtree.co.za. You find great roles; you submit your application via the website or by email and then ……. (cricket sounds) …. Nothing ….

If you are unemployed now or even in a job that you would like to leave, going on the job search is time consuming, boring, irritating, frustrating but to make it interesting and successful (my theme for 2021 ) you need 5 things to make it a success.
