Nzimande, published the National Policy for an Integrated Career Development System for South Africa in the Government Gazette of 20 April 2017. The policy aims to build an integrated career development system for South Africa that will ensure that all citizens of all ages have access to quality career information and career development services throughout their lives. This is further testament to the importance of career development. The policy also recognises the fact that job security does not reside in employment but in employability and that workers who wish to sustain their employability have to learn new skills regularly. At the Unit for Graduand Career Services, we are committed to assist our registered students with their preparation for the world of work. The “Action Steps Checklist” lists 10 activities that will help you to start managing your career development Action Steps Checklist √ 1. I am involved in extra-curricular activities (on or off campus). 2. I can list the skills that I developed via the extracurricular activities. 3. I am getting work experience via vacation work, part-time work, or voluntary work. 4. I have spoken to a few people working in the job areas that interest me. 5. I have attended some of the work sessions offered by the Unit for Graduand Career Services. 6. My marks are as good as they can be. 7. I am consistently working on improving my communication skills. 8. I have worked in a team and learnt a few things about myself. 9. I can list 5-10 of my best skills with relevant examples to illustrate how and where I have developed and applied them. 10. I am consistently working on improving my computer skills. Having access to quality career information is central to making good and informed career and life decisions. The Graduate Recruitment Programme is one of the ways in which the Unit for Graduand Career Services endeavours to expose our students to information about employers and the recruitment process. More and more companies are taking their entire recruitment pro- cess online. Are you geared for this mode of recruitment? Is your online profile working for you? If not, do not despair. Pay us a visit and attend one of our work sessions on “How to Optimise your LinkedIn Profile”. Remember, we also offer work sessions on CV Writing, Cover Letters, In- terview Skills, Personal Branding and Job-Seeking Methods. Elke jaar word baie geld, tyd en energie in die organisering van drie loopbaanuitstallings belê. Gryp die geleentheid aan om jou kennis oor die wêreld van werk te verbreed sodat jy jou kwal- ifikasie(s) en vaardighede optimaal kan bemark. Dit is dus die ideale geleentheid om netwerke met potensiële werkgewers te bou. Baie werkgewers sal oor die volgende twee maande ons kampus besoek. Hulle doelwit is om hulle maatskappye aan ons studente bekend te stel, en baie wil ook hulle beskikbare werksgeleenthede met ons finalejaarstudente deel. As jy twyfel oor enige deel van die werwingsprogram soos dit in hierdie boekie uiteengesit word, nader gerus die Eenheid vir Graduandi-loopbaandienste direk. The participating companies have invested many hours to create a unique experience of their brand. I am confident that the 2017 Graduate Recruitment Programme will add value to the ca- reer development of all students who take up this opportunity.

However, students need to be prepared for jobs that have not been created and technology that has not yet been invented. What can you do from your side to prepare yourself better? As part of the Graduate Recruitment Programme, the Unit for Graduand Career Services is offering you the opportunity to invest a bit more in yourself and to start thinking about what happens after you have graduated. Today, the average person changes jobs ten to fifteen times (with an average of 12 job changes) during their careers. Job searching and networking, as well as tracking and adjusting to job market trends, have taken on enhanced importance. Have you thought about the importance of doing an internship while you are studying? This provides you with practical, real-world experience that might set you apart from others when you start applying for jobs. Die program wat hier op kampus aangebied word, is ʼn wonderlike geleentheid om meer oor die wêreld van werk te leer en om netwerke met maatskappye te bou. Dit is nou die uitstek- ende tyd om jouself af te vra: Wat gebeur ná gradeplegtigheid, en wat maak my die ideale kandidaat vir ʼn gesogte maatskappy? Het ek ʼn idee hoe om myself vir ʼn werksonderhoud voor te berei, en is my CV in die regte formaat? Hoe belangrik is my sosiale media-profiel vir voornemende werkgewers? Bring your friends along and join the conversations at the career fairs during August. Consid- er attending the variety of work sessions offered by the Unit for Graduand Career Services – come and visit us! May this be an enriching, empowering and wonderful networking opportunity for you! Dr Munita Dunn-Coetzee Direkteur: Sentrum vir Studentevoorligting en -ontwikkeling Director: Centre for Student Counselling and Development 3 CV WRITING MARQUARD TIMMEY Your Curriculum Vitae (CV) should be a well-prepared document of outstanding qual- ity – remember your CV is a representation of YOU. Its primary task is to convince prospective employers to contact you for an interview. To ensure you of an interview, your CV must distinguish you from other applicants. Writing a CV is not a quick and simple task; a thorough process is therefore needed. If you invest enough time and effort in it and do a thorough job, your CV can contribute to the development of your career objectives, your preparation for job interviews and the improvement of your self-image. WHERE CAN I LEARN HOW TO DRAW UP A GOOD CV? It is important to be aware of the resources at your disposal, such as the Resource Centre of the Unit for Graduand Career Services, books, magazines and the Internet, where you can obtain valuable information, tips, as well as examples of CVs. We also recommend that you attend workshops and seminars – such as those presented by the Unit for Graduand Career Services – where you can learn how to write a CV. You could also consult employment agen- cies. There are different CV formats that you can choose from, for example the chronological, functional, combination or creative CV. You should always choose a format that will best rep- resent your skills and experiences. WHAT DO I WANT AND WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER? Before you begin to compile a CV, it is essential to do a thorough self-evaluation in order to determine your strengths and skills. Knowing yourself is one of the most important corner- stones of career development. It is also important to determine in which manner these skills/ qualities will be of benefit to the potential employer.

Zu Informationen zu - Der Vorbereitung meines Studienaufenthaltes - Auswahl der Universität - Ankunft und Formalitäten in Kapstadt - Wohnsituationen - Und ersten Impressionen aus Südafrika verweise ich auf meinen Zwischenbericht zu finden auf der DAAD-Homepage (unter www.daad.de/medien/südafrika_zwischenbericht_max-sebastian_obbarius.pfd ), in dem diese Themen ausführlich beschrieben sind. Im folgenden Bericht versuche ich lediglich dem Leser meinen Aufenthalt etwas anschaulicher nahe zu legen. Im Anschluss auf den Bericht werde ich für diejenigen Ingenieure, die Interesse haben, an der UCT zu studieren, die einzelnen Module, die ich belegt habe, näher beschreiben. 1 Abschlussbericht – University of Cape Town Max-Sebastian Obbarius Leben in Südafrika Südafrika – ein Land der großen Gegensätze. Das trifft in jeder Hinsicht auf das Land zu. Die Landschaft, die Kultur, die Verteilung der Reichtümer, die Menschen, die Rassen – Rasse ein Begriff, der uns Deutschen aufgrund unserer Geschichte nur schwer über die Lippen geht und der auch im Bewusstsein möglichst vermieden wird. Ein weiterer Gegensatz zwischenDeutschland und Südafrika also. In dem einen Land wird der Begriff vermieden, wo es nur geht, im anderen wird mit dem Begriff förmlich um sich geschmissen. In der Politik, bei Förerdungsprogrammen (Black Economic Empowerment), auf der Straße, bei Demonstrationen, bei Witzen. Und trotzdem, und das ist der nächste Gegensatz, bin ich selten in einem Land so freundlich und vorbehaltlos aufgenommen worden wie in Südafrika.
