Finding a job when you aren't in Mauritius

Des1313

I need to know how easy it will be to find a job from South Africa.  Is it better to be in Mauritius and then seek employment?  And how would you then work the visa for this? 

I have posted my CV on My Jobs and I have also applied to 4 positions and I havent had any responses.  I am concerned that when they see I live in Durban South Africa, that they dont look any further. 

Am I just being too impatient?

If I went to Mauritius without a job what are my chances of securing employment within 7 days (basically the max I could afford to stay without a job and thats stretching it).

I am in the finance field and I have a degree as well as 5 - 10 years experience.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply!

I have already looked at this links you gave though and I am wondering if it is even possible to get a job from outside Mauritius?

Hi Des,

Why don't you just Google and type the title of the job you would like to find in Mauritius?

I have done this before for my husband (other countries) and found many offers like this.

Just give it a try...

Good luck

Affirmative but certain criteria should be met by the prospective employer as per the guidelines:


GUIDELINES FOR WORK PERMIT APPLICATIONS by the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment of Mauritius



Certain conditions have been changed since March 5th and the doc. has not been updated yet!

So if there is no demand for your competencies ( or if they can hire locally) , some won't respond to your enquiries- same everywhere.

My dear Des1313

For sure, it’s not an easy task to get a job in Mauritius when you are abroad, as 99% of the employers would, other than analyzing the CV, like to see the ”face” of the prospective employee.

With a degree in finance and 5 - 10 years experience, you stand a good chance of getting something suitable.

Still, I could not understand the “5 - 10 years experience”, since this is quite vague.

I would rather invite you to send me your CV, and from there I could advise you on your chances of getting a proper job here.

Cheers
