FAQ

A few questions, answered

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What do I need to provide to get started?

Send us your current CV, any additional information that is relevant to your career, and the types of positions you are targeting. Please also tell us which country or countries you are applying to, as requirements differ.

If you would like a photo on your CV, which we highly recommend for South African CVs, send a few professional head-and-shoulders photos that are not cut off, cropped or photoshopped.

Are your CVs ATS compliant?

Yes. We prepare CVs to be ATS compliant and keyword optimised for the position or positions you are applying for. We cannot guarantee interviews or job offers, but a clear, well-structured CV gives you the best chance of getting past applicant tracking systems and in front of a recruiter.

Do you work with international applications?

Yes. We help South African and international clients, and we tailor your documents to the country you are applying to, because expectations such as CV length and whether to include a photo differ from place to place. Tell us the country and role when you get in touch.

When will you need my LinkedIn or PNet login details?

Only after your CV and cover letter have been finalised. We optimise your existing accounts, we do not keep your passwords, and we log out of your accounts when the work is done. We strongly suggest that you change your password once the work is complete.

Can I order an individual service instead of a package?

Yes. Every service on this website can be ordered on its own. Our packages simply combine several services, so choose whichever suits you. If you are not sure what you need, contact us and we will help you decide.

In what format will I receive my final documents?

After any revisions you request, you receive your final documents in both Word and PDF format.

What happens if my CV is longer than four pages?

Our CV price covers up to 4 pages. A CV longer than 4 pages is charged an additional R100 for each extra page. If you are not sure how long yours will be, send it to us and we will advise you.
