Natalie Pedreiro, 19, works at a Linksfield coffee shop as a waitress. She is soft-spoken, friendly to all and seems to always look on the bright side. During conversation, she always balances negatives with a positive comment. Getting a job in South Africa is extremely difficult, she said. After knocking on tons of doors and mailing out resumes ad nauseam, the response was always the same. Her lack of experience counted against her.

The long hours on your feet, the constant shuttling around the restaurant and at times unpleasant customers are a lot to deal with.Pedreiro’s day starts at 6am when the store opens and ends at about 5pm when day trade ends.
