About Us – 3Sixty Careers
Your Career. Your Future. Our Mission.
Who We Are
3Sixty Careers exists to help South African graduates and professionals grow, show up, and get hired. We provide practical tools that actually work in today’s job market — from CV and cover letter resources to interview prep and job-hunting strategies. Everything we create is designed with the South African job seeker in mind.
Our mission is simple: to make high-quality career tools accessible, affordable, and effective. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a career changer, or a professional looking to step up, 3Sixty Careers is here to guide you every step of the way.
Why We Do It
We’ve seen far too many talented people struggle to get noticed in the job market — not because they aren’t capable, but because they don’t have the right tools, knowledge, or guidance. That’s where we come in.
Our resources are built to remove the guesswork, cut through the noise, and give you a clear plan to land the opportunities you deserve.
Ellek Mxolisi Blom – Founder of 3Sixty Careers
I’m Ellek Mxolisi Blom — a Product Manager, technologist, and career growth advocate. Over the last 12+ years, I’ve worked in software engineering, product leadership, and digital transformation for some of South Africa’s and the UK’s top financial institutions, including Investec and Absa.
I’ve reviewed hundreds of CVs and interviewed candidates across multiple roles, including Software Engineers, Software Test Engineers, Business Analysts, Project Managers, Data Engineers, and Data Analysts. Beyond the hiring process, I’ve mentored and coached many young professionals, helping them not only land jobs but also grow in their careers and step into leadership roles.
I know first-hand what employers look for — not just in your skills, but in how you present yourself on paper, online, and in interviews. I founded 3Sixty Careers to pass that knowledge on. The goal? To give every South African job seeker the advantage they need to compete — and win — in a tough job market.
Our Promise to You
When you use our tools, you’ll get:
- South African-relevant advice (not recycled content from overseas markets)
- Step-by-step guides you can apply immediately
- Proven templates and frameworks that work in real hiring processes
- Support from someone who’s been on both sides of the table — as a hiring manager and as a job seeker
We believe your career should move forward, not stall. And we’re here to make sure you get there.
