(And Half of Them Don’t Even Want Your Matric Certificate, Just an ID and a Pulse)
Your cousin just got retrenched with a R9 000 “festive package” and is now selling vetkoek outside Home Affairs with a BA in Communications. Meanwhile, these 20 companies are hiring so aggressively they’re basically sliding into your WhatsApp with “hawu baby, when can you start?” We checked the career pages, WhatsApp groups, and even phoned a few HR okes pretending to be your auntie.
