Finding a job can be challenging, especially in a competitive labour market where many young people and graduates are searching for opportunities. In this episode of the Khetha Radio Programme, the Department of Higher Education and Training shares practical guidance on job hunting, where to search for opportunities, how to prepare yourself, and what to consider before applying.
The discussion covers the current job market in South Africa, public and private sector job-search platforms, volunteering as a way to gain experience, CV and interview preparation, recruitment scam warning signs, and career fields where skills are currently in demand. The episode also highlights the importance of building practical experience, networking, using trusted job platforms, and aligning your job search with your interests, strengths, qualifications and long-term career goals.
Listeners are encouraged to stay alert, keep improving their skills, and use official DHET Career Development Services platforms for support and guidance.
