Season’s Greetings From the Jobs Team
No commentsSeason’s Greetings Everyone,
I can hardly believe that my chocolate advent calendar has just over a week’s worth left of festive season’s calories to munch on. The 23rd is upon us, Christmas only 2 days away and the New Year peeping around the corner.
Time certainly flies when you are having fun and what a fun year it has been.
With a focus on creating a Job Seeker centric job portal, 2008 has brought about the rebirth of South Africa’s most established Job Portal, Jobs.co.za.
With a new family to ensure its success, a firm focus on the goals at hand and a positive attitude to push through each challenge, Jobs.co.za would like to thank each and every visitor to the website and hope that your experience has been a good one.
After successfully re-launching Jobs.co.za, moving forward into 2009, Jobs.co.za promises to deliver even greater benefits to service the South African job market with. With marketing campaigns planned and ready to roll out, new tools and functionality to be added to the mix and further growth to the Jobs Team to ensure that clients and Job Seekers are getting the attention that they require, 2009 is going to be better than fine.
As mentioned in my previous blog post, the Jobs.co.za offices will be closing as of this afternoon for the holiday period and will reopen on the 5th of January 2009.
We would like to wish everyone a safe, prosperous and love filled festive season and trust that as you ring in the New Year, your lives will be recharged with energy, gusto, enthusiasm and success.
The website will still be accessible and you will still be able to register, create CV’s, run searches and apply to job ads.
Should you encounter any technical difficulties during the time that our offices will be closed, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 0861 JOBS 101 (0861 5627 101) and we will direct your call to the most suitable means of resolution.
And with that, this old Guru guy is heading on out to go and spread the word, share the love and make nice with the natives.
In keeping with the steady pace we follow towards the New Year I’d like to leave you with a piece of writing to end off 2008 with. Written by Osho; a professor of philosophy, spiritual teacher and author of a collection of life changing books that have the ability to enlighten even the darkest of hearts.
I hope that this inspires all of you to push forward through the challenges and victories that the New Year will uniquely bring to each of us as and when we need to experience them.
“The seed cannot know what is going to happen; the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.
Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls – and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.
There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.”
- Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain], Dang Dang Doko Dang, chapter 4
Happy Holidays everyone and I will be back with you in 2009.
All the very best!
