Some recruitment agencies offer a careers advice and will look at your CV for you and tell you what you need to change. Part-time work is harder to get. My friend started with volunteering at a local hospital which led to a few hours paid work. It's all about networking. Register with www.linkedin.com and make connections with as many recruiters as possible. Network with as many groups as possible, such as Lions, Rotary, Church etc ... there may just be someone who knows someone looking for that perfect person which is YOU!

The SA Govt has a 'temporary pool' which may well lead to more permanent employment - see

I see SAPol are looking for call takers, this is an ideal place to get your foot in the door, as once in the Government is it so easy to move to different jobs
