How can I get Vacation work opportunities for an Electrical Engineering Student in Johannesburg?

I’m a third-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of the Witwatersrand, and as part of my graduation requirements I need to complete 29 days of vacation work. I’ve already applied to the advertised opportunities and company websites I could find, but I’m struggling to secure a placement. I’m also on LinkedIn, but I’m unsure about the best way to approach people there — who to contact, how to ask professionally, and whether networking directly is appropriate. If anyone has advice, recommendations, or knows of companies still accepting vacation work students, I would really appreciate the help.

How long did it take you (as a lawyer) to lead your first case after you started at a law firm?

I'm wondering when you or your firm felt that you were confident or experienced enough to take the lead on a case and how long that took to happen.

What experiences, skills, and decisions had the biggest impact on helping you reach your current role as a mechanical engineer, and how could someone with my background best follow a similar path I’m a high school senior planning to study mechanical engineering, and I’ve explored a mix of hands-on and creative interests—band, CAD design, 3D printing, and running a small woodworking business making charcuterie boards. I enjoy learning across different areas and asking questions to really understand how things work. Why do you think certain experiences like internships, personal projects, or specific classes matter more than others, and how should I prioritize my time during college to build the strongest foundation for a successful career??

How can I gain hands-on experience across multiple areas in aviation maintenance, such as avionics and sheet metal, when workplaces tend to compartmentalize roles?

I currently have a job lined up at a local airport for when I graduate this October with my associate degree and A&P license. While working, I’ll also be continuing toward a bachelor’s degree online. I’ll be entering the field with limited experience—about a year as an assistant mechanic—and I want to explore different specialties and gain as much knowledge as possible before settling into the path that fits me best. The challenge is that my current job is very small, with only a few workers. I’m grateful for the opportunity and enjoy working with my coworkers, but the scope is limited. All of the work is on small fixed-wing aircraft, and they never handle larger repairs or composite type works. I’d like to expand beyond that and gain experience in other areas of aviation maintenance. I understand that it’s difficult to get exposure to everything, especially since many workplaces prioritize efficiency over well-rounded training. Still, I believe that building a broad foundation early on will help me better understand aircraft systems, troubleshoot more effectively, and ultimately choose the specialty that fits me best. Any advice on how to gain that kind of broad experience early in my career would be greatly appreciated!

What is the best approach to getting accepted by employers?

The closer I get to graduating high school, the more nervous I am to get a job. I just want to be able to show employers I want work. Without a job I just get lazier and put my skills to waste. I want to be able to use the skills I gained throughout high school and Tech schools.

How do you obtain your first job ?

I'm a recent college graduate (AA in General Studies) and trying to get into dental hygiene school, but I want to save up some money first. I am a hard worker who performed quite well academically, but I have been unsuccessful so many times in getting even a minimum wage, part-time job. I either get ghosted, or I receive a rejection letter. I even tried to simplify my resume, so I don't look overqualified, but maybe it's because I just don't have experience? I'm pretty stressed about this.

What is the best course of action, doing straight into getting my nurse practitioner license after getting my RN or working 1-2 years as an RN then getting my NP lisence??

I have been a certified medical assistant for 26 years, for primary care and urgent care. I have recently gone back to college to get my RN. I want to get my NP after my RN. I am wondering if I should just continue right after completing my RN to get my NP, or if I should work as an RN for a year or so, then get my NP? I feel I have a lot of experience and knowledge that I could go straight through; however, I am just wondering what the consensus would be for this. #Spring26

How do you figure out the right career path for yourself and what would you recommend doing early in college to explore different options without falling behind?

I'm a freshman in college and am about to finish my spring semester. I already feel like I'm running out of time to figure out my major and career goals. I don't know how I'm supposed to transfer from community college to a 4 year by the fall semester if I still have no clue what I want to do in my future.
