I have been contacted by an agency with reference to a job opportunity in Cape Town and while the position does not suit me, I am sure that one or two of my readers will definitely be interested in the opportunity. I can tell you that it is with a very dynamic company and actively involved in the mobile sector in SA.

I am not affiliated with the agency in any way and neither am I advocating the company to which the position is with. If you are interested, I have included the agents details at the bottom of the post, so feel free to contact them directly.

Good luck and don’t forget to keep us in the loop if you do get it!
