Having applied for various positions with hardly any response a fiew questions come to mind, perhaps somebody out there can throw some light on the subject.I am sure I speak for most Planners applying from South Africa and possibly other countries.
1) When applying for a Position no response or acknowledgment ever gets returned.(is there anybody out there?)
2) A Feedback would be appreciated, should we structure our CV differently ?, or perhaps wrong Passport, or not enough experience in a certain department, etc,etc. Surely
that would be the norm of a well organized and trained recruitment agency to responce.
3) When placing a job advert the agent should notify the applicants if we can apply from overseas or is it a local job.
anyway,this should get the ball rolling. Any other comments or advice will be welcomed.

You should make it easy for the potential employer to say YES. Explain why you are better than the local candidates (of course you are) and explain how you are going to acquire the local knowledge the potential employer thinks he wants. Demonstrate that you understand the process he will have to go through to employ you and provide the justification (to him) that he will need to provide to immigration. Make it easy for him ! Stick all this in your application.
Is your CV available for comment ? If so, I dont mind giving you my opinion. - 0Joel Gilbert ·Thanks for the reply Mark.I see there is life out there.
