Prepare a clear CV, certified South African ID where required, complete academic records, relevant certificates and any role-specific proof named in the source advert. Use readable files, sensible filenames and one consistent phone number and email address. Never submit altered academic or employment information.
Application mistakes to avoid
- Applying through an unofficial social-media link without checking the source.
- Ignoring the reference number, location or closing time.
- Uploading cropped, expired or unreadable documents.
- Using a generic CV that does not show the relevant qualification or skills.
- Paying a person who promises placement or guaranteed approval.
