Tips for finding a job
For every job available, you will always have to compete with other job-seekers. Gvt has information that will help you to find a job, write a CV, prepare you for the interview and start the job. You can also find information on how to start a business.
In South Africa, the gvt does not play a direct role in the economy, its main role in the economy is to encourage economic growth. For example, the gvt does not own big factories or mines to earn an income. It only partly owns big corporations like Eskom and Telkom. The money earned from such companies is put back into the economy and the gvt also makes money through taxation.
But the biggest question is “how is this money spent?”.
Working for the gvt has its own benefits depending on the role or position you are in. If you are one of the curious South Africans who wonder who the highest-paid gvt employees are, we are about to enlighten you.
