Frequently asked questions

How do I save my CV as a PDF?

Fill in the form, press the download button, and choose Save as PDF as the printer in the dialog that opens. Every phone and computer browser has this built in; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

What should a South African CV include?

Contact details, a short professional summary, work history with dates and what you actually did, education, and skills. Leave out your ID number, marital status, religion and a photo; employers do not need them and it protects you from identity fraud.

How long should a CV be?

One to two pages. Recruiters scan for role fit in under a minute, so lead every job with what you achieved, not just what you were responsible for.
