African countries have been very popular with Europeans and many other people around the world for several decades. Finding vacancies in one of the steadily developing countries in Africa is quite simple – good specialists are always needed there.
More often, people who want to work in Africa prefer to go to former British colonies. Judging by the numerous reviews, the population of these countries speaks English and even understands Russian.
Highly qualified doctors, engineers and other specialists from Russia enjoy great respect here.
But the conditions of employment in African countries cannot be called democratic. Before entering the query “I am looking for jobs in Africa” into a search engine, you need to objectively assess your chances. Theoretically, you can get a job in the following areas:
Engineers should look for jobs in South and East Africa. Specialists in the field of medicine are expected in the center and in the east of the country. For obvious reasons, it is not recommended to go to troubled North Africa. But if a person is attracted to this region for one reason or another, then you can try to get a job in one of the local organizations as an animator or driver.
From an economic point of view, countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia and Kenya are considered the most promising.
South Africa is the most developed country in the region. The size of the average salary of the population in recent years has crept up to the bottom places in the list of average world income.
It is best to look for work in South Africa on the site:
Specialists in the field of construction and medicine are in special demand here. The level of salaries in many large cities, Zambia, is quite high: highly qualified specialists receive up to 4.0 thousand US dollars.
A person who is interested in a job in construction or medicine must first obtain a work permit. Such a document is issued at the South African Embassy. To obtain a permit, you must submit the following documents:
The procedure for issuing a permit cannot be called quick and simple. If the employees of the diplomatic institution consider that the vacancy that the applicant is applying for can be occupied by a citizen of South Africa, then the Russian will be refused.
Every person, regardless of age and social status, has the opportunity to go to Africa as a volunteer. African missions are of the most diverse nature – from the protection of wild animals and work in the reserve to work with orphans. Physicians and journalists are in great demand.
The main advantage of volunteer work is a democratic schedule. You can spend your free time getting acquainted with the peculiarities of this amazing, mysterious continent
Firstly, you won’t be able to earn “a lot of money”: volunteer work is exclusively humanitarian in nature. Secondly, no one will ever give a guarantee that unrest will not break out in one or another part of the African continent.
African volunteer programs can be paid and free. In the first case, a person who wants to volunteer on this continent undertakes to pay a modest membership fee of 100-150 US dollars. In the second case, the program participant pays only for the flight.
Today volunteer organizations offer the following programs:
A person who wishes to volunteer at the school can join the Cameroon program at any time. There are a lot of orphans who need help here. The main contingent of volunteers is in orphanages, hospitals and educational institutions.
Volunteer educational programs are long-term and short-term. In the first case, volunteers are detained in Cameroon for 6 months, in the second – only for 14 days. The main criterion for participation is the age of majority and good command of English. The weekly fee is $150 / 7 days. The price includes transportation of the volunteer from the airport, meals and accommodation
Volunteers will work for 5 days a week from 07-00 to 15-00. Free time from the main work can be devoted to activities with children living in remote African villages. Volunteers can use their days off at their own discretion.
In addition to highly qualified specialists, the African continent needs investors. Africa also needs courageous entrepreneurs. Today, the Russian Federation has concluded several contracts with stable countries of the continent. The desire to open a business in Africa is welcomed by the authorities of both states.
