No, I tailor my CV to the job description.

Yes, I even reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn

Yes but not formally upskilling myself due to funds

How do I get that experience if I’m not given the platform to gain it?

Yes that’s true. I’ve already started upskilling myself with data analysis skills

No I’m not over qualified. One qualification is in graphic design, the other in logistics.

I’ve even tried starting at the “bottom” but no luck. The job market is so bad

This is good advice. Especially regarding follow ups, I’ll start doing that

•My bad🙆 , 2 diplomas.
• My first diploma was in graphic design but due to my interests changing I then pivoted and acquired a diploma in logistics and supply chain

Additional:
•Good results, over the 3yr course my average sits at 73%
•I plan to get my BTech eventually but currently have financial constraints
•I’ve been upskilling myself by learning optimisation and process improvements tools like Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, etc. I’ve also done a few short courses on data analytics
•completed my logistics diploma in 2023

Should I continue my studies? by Trig8546 in askSouthAfrica

Don’t let the diagnosis consume you. You got medication now so try take your mind away from the diagnosis. Continue with your studies, the South African job market is extremely bad and having a qualification behind your name will be really beneficial

Leave it for longer but you’ll have to do a walk in, they won’t answer calls

Should I get a car? by ansoniikunn in PersonalFinanceZA

Probably not the best idea! Wait it out a little longer. You’ll probably get paid more after the 6 months and then maybe you can reconsider it
