UK Job Seeker in SA
Hi!
As the name suggests, I am a British national looking for work in SA. My husband has been transferred on an ICT visa through his company. I need to get a job before I can obtain a visa as I do not qualify for the 'special skills' visa.
However, I'm finding it really hard to find anything! I'd be happy to just get out to J'burg and get a job. I've got a BA (Hons) degree and am a qualified UK lawyer but finding it next to impossible to get anything. I am told that companies are hesitant to hire foreigners due to the strict labour laws.
Any ideas?! Much appreciated!

Hi and welcome to the forum 
I guess the best place for you to be posting in is in the South Africa section of the forum. You can follow this link below:
South Africa - British Expats
Hope it all works out.
