Some advice for you newbies. It worked for me years ago.
step 1: Build a professional CV
step 2: Put it in an A4 envelope addressed to the Chief Pilot.
step 3: Make a
personal trip to the SAX office at O.R. Tambo.
step 4: Ask to speak to someone regarding pilot recruitment.
step 5: if no-one is available, drop off your envelope with the receptionist.
step 6: continuously phone/harass them to find out whether they've reviewed your CV.
notes: If you think that by simply sending an email you'll get an interview, think again. Unfortunately in South Africa, recruitment is not a strong point (the people at HR a clueless). Only by banging on doors and practically harassing the chief pilot (unless your daddy knows someone) will they even look at you.
You'll probably draw blood from a stone, before you get an acknowledgment of receipt from an email
