Hi guys and girls, its all nice and well to discuss jobs on this forum,
but lets keep it nice and polite, also I wonder how relevant this is to
Java. I think the kind of frustration some of you are experiencing is
universally applicable to the job market.... so what is the relevance
here? My 2 barks worth - Carl

I've heard this being said many a times but I'm not too
sure how this
is being done.My experience working in Cape Town has in
fact been the
opposite of what you state here Heinz.
I agree with Jeff here. My 15 years in the Cape Town
development hiring
world (usually as one of the team of interviewers), job market and
general industry has shown me that the majority of senior
management and
even 'real' (non token) jobs still go to white professionals.
These are
still the people calling the shots and that is why the 'referral'
network perpetuates the status quo.
Interesting Lisa. Did you find that the 'real' jobs go mostly to men?
Kind regards from
Heinz
