Best places to look for work.

[MrsWestcot]

I have been job hunting for the past eight months, but have not even been able to secure one interview. I have good experience - been a Branch Manager for the past seven years. Yet I am not even getting one call. I have updated my CV countless times and everyone tells me it looks great. So that can't be it. Perhaps I am not looking in the right places for vacancies. I apply on PNET and indeed. What other recommendation of sites or agencies are there that I might try? Thanks

Linkedin. Get a good profile going with all your skills.

Branch Manager

Please elaborate (bank, retail store, restaurant, service centre, etc)
Also, which area?

I am not even getting one call

My wife too. Just be persistent and don't give up (I know, it's exhausting).

With LinkedIn, Pnet and other online platforms, you need to add keywords that will make it easier for recruiters to find your profile.
Branch Manager is NOT ENOUGH. You need to add keywords like FICA, Compliance, Management, Office, Payroll, etc... all these randoms words so that your profile can come out on top.

And where are you based?

+1 for Linked in, I got all my offers through it.

Yes, I have updated my pnet profile to be more extensive as well.

I am based in Kempton Park. So I am preferably looking for anything in the East Rand.
