Mechanical Engineering skills are in demand

South Africa is a developing country that is growing with opportunities, various industries are expanding and new careers are introduced. Meaning, if properly targeted, the economy can grow fast and we can join the developing countries queue.

However, even with these amazing chances and a bright future for the country, people struggle to find the courage to occupy challenging careers.

But, if you are knowledgeable about a career, you are able to become more mindful about the occurrences in that particular industry. You begin to know about the companies in that industry, what they are working on and when they are hiring.

We understand that looking for work is, well, not that easy, especially if you are currently unemployed or fresh out of university/school. All you want is an opportunity for someone to give you a chance so you can implement what you have learnt at school. But it is not that easy.

Your willingness to learn about the industry can be the difference between looking for a job and finding one.

The process of finding employment is in how much you know about the industry, applying for jobs, how you prepare yourself for the interviews, and networking. After a few weeks of preparation you can easily develop a go-getter attitude.
