If you do not have the marks or only have Maths Lit, perhaps you need to ask yourself ‘What kind of work do I want to do when I have this degree? And then choose the degree that is more in line with your interest.

Here are some jobs which people with a Bachelor of Administration would be doing:

Accountant
Accountants are good with numbers, detail-oriented, and enjoy helping others. They work with both people and companies to make sense of their money and taxes. Accountants also prepare financial documents and ensure that tax operations go smoothly.

Financial Advisor
Much like accountants, financial advisors ensure the financial health of people and companies. However, financial advisors do not work with taxes. Inserted, they manage, allocate, and use money to make people and businesses successful. Financial advisors also help people and companies to make smart financial decisions by helping them to assess risk.

Marketer
Marketers plan, direct, and coordinate marketing efforts for businesses. They determine the demand for goods and services as well as developing a strategy to maximize profits on those goods and services. Marketers also oversee the development of products and monitor trends within the business’ target markets.

Those who go into marketing can also work in advertising or other creative and media fields, which relate to the function of marketing.

Commodities Trader
Whether on behalf of a firm or an individual, commodities traders buy and sell commodity contracts. Commodities can be anything from oranges to shoelaces and they are bought and sold as futures, options, and other financial derivatives. Commodities traders are organized, detail-oriented people with a solid understanding of economics and business.

Human Resources
People who work in human resources ensure the safety and happiness of a company’s employees. Human resource managers work to hire new employees, as well as maintaining employee records and policies, counseling and disciplining employees, and handling scheduling.

Loan Officer
Loan officers work in banks and lending companies to evaluate, authorize, and recommend approval or denial f loans to people and businesses. They generally have a solid finance background and are also good with numbers and money.

Real Estate Agent
Real estate brokers or agents are people who help others to buy, sell, and rent properties. Brokers are licensed to work on their own, while agents must work for a licensed broker. There are two types of real estate brokers or agents, commercial and residential. Although real estate agents must go through licensing exams, also having a BBA is a good first step to becoming an agent.

Manager
At every level of business, there are managers who keep things running smoothly. They are in charge of everything from running the day-to-day operations of a retail store to sourcing materials for large production facilities. No matter what type of business you would like to work in, if you’re hoping to enter info management, a BBA can also give you the necessary tools to succeed.

Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs are individuals who organize and operate businesses. They generally create new businesses and are both creative and organized. In the past couple of decades, with the rise of the internet, entrepreneurs have also become more and more common. Entrepreneurs are behind start-ups everywhere.

You may also want to look at this list: of 200 qualifications you can do with Maths Literacy.

What qualifications can I get with Maths Literacy?

A: The first thing is to create a list of KEYWORDS to use in your search. 6 to 10 keywords should do it, but you can try different combinations as you learn

• The first word would be: South Africa, so that you don’t get jobs all over the world! (Unless you want them, of course!) Do not leave this one off your list.
• Then the opportunity you are seeking: Job, or Internship, or Apprenticeship, or Work Experience, or Learnership or Trainee, or a combination. You can also other words you find, like Matric, Vacancy or Choose which words suit you now. You can have three or four words in this category and change them around.
• Then the areas where you are prepared to travel to. You could add (for example) Johannesburg, or even Gauteng, but it is a good idea to choose suburbs or areas closer to home, to begin with. If you find you are not getting many useful results, then widen the search. If you can look at a map and find all the suburbs or districts, that you are prepared to travel to.
• Then add the Industry and/or department or job title you are looking for. Examples:
  * Engineering, Mechanical Fitter Apprentice,
  * Retail, Manager Trainee.
  * Health, Internship.
• As you start searching you will find certain websites are just not worth the time and data! Ignore them in future. But you will also find websites that collect all the jobs from various job websites including these (in 2020):
  • Indeed,
  • Glassdoor,
  • Google for Jobs,
  • CareerJet,
  • co.za,
  • Careers24,
  • JobMail,
  • co.za,
  • PNet

Some of these will ask you to register and/or ask if you want to be sent alerts for jobs (which match your keywords), come in. You can always unsubscribe.

Then there are websites which focus on specific industries or organisations for example:

• https://www.gov.za/about-government/government-vacancies

This website also gives you links to all government departments which advertise jobs.

• https://www.bizcommunity.com/JobsOffered/196/11.html

This website focuses on Marketing and Media jobs, but offers some others as well.

• Companies: If you want to work at a specific company, add the name of the company to your key words. You should find ‘Careers’ or ‘Vacancies’ ‘Join our Team’.
• Police, SANDF, the Navy and AirForce and Nurses all apply directly to their nearest base or online on a prescribed form.

How often to do a search? Every day or at least every 2-3 days.

• 5-28% Going to private employment agencies or search firms for help. This method apparently works between 5%and 28% of the time.

• 33% Asking for job leads. With this method, you ask family members, friends and people you know in the community (or on LinkedIn) if they know of any place where someone with your talents and background is being sought. By asking for job leads, you have an almost five times better chance of finding a job than if you had just sent out your CV.

These statistics are from American author an American author Richard Bolles, who wrote the best-seller ‘What color is your Parachute?. He regularly updates what job hunting tactics work in in America. Although there are no statistics for South Africa, we can imagine they are roughly similar, except that we have fewer jobs available here.

Suggestion: Spend time on all the methods but more time on the methods which have better chance of success!
