How can young jobseekers give themselves the best chance of getting a job? YES’s youth stream lead, Aditi Lachman, has these five tips for young jobseekers 👇 TheCitizen jobhunt JobSeekersSA
Young jobseekers have a tough time finding work and South Africa’s latest unemployment numbers paint a gloomy picture for them but by developing their skills in ‘future-proof’ sectors, growing numbers of youth are finding jobs and opportunities.
According to YES’s 2021 research on “What employers want: Getting young people working”, employers place the highest value on relevant work experience, education status and a good interview. Education status is one of the strongest determinants of employment in the country and a quarter of all employed YES alumni are currently pursuing some kind of education or skills training. If you want to build a career, invest in lifelong learning, Lachman says.
However, make sure you get your matric, as 95% of all YES youth have at least matric, as do 30% of the employed YES Alumni population.Bryan Mposula was hired as a business integration associate at a big four consulting firm after his YES programme, hosted at implementation partner, IT Varsity, a position that is often won by highly educated individuals with degrees, certifications and years of experience.
