Hi ,
I have been searching for a job relevant to my qualifications for awhile now. At some point, I was advised by a recruitment consultant that it would be worthwhile to change my surname to a 'white sounding one' given that I am of African descent.
I have an advanced certificate in Hospitality with extensive experience overseas in various positions. I also hold a BA in Management with human resources and marketing as two majors. This was from an Australian uni completed in 2004. The best I could find was a admissions coordinator at an aged care facility. I took a break to have a child and for the past year I have been trying to fing a job in HR.
I would appreciate any advice that can help my predicament. Thanks.
