CV mistakes to avoid when applying for an engineer job in South Africa

Don't make use of an outdated concept for writing a CV. The old way of having all your personal details on the first page and then to have the relevant information on the second page should be avoided at all costs. The only personal details that should go on the first page of your CV are your name and surname as well as contact details which should be placed in the top header section of the first page. Focus on the information that the client wants and not irrelevant information such as hobbies, religion etc.

References are great, but you need to make sure that the persons you state as references have been notified and are willing to give a reference on your behalf before you add them to your CV. One way to overcome the problem is rather to state that references are available on request. Make sure you get one to three references as employers want a way to check whether you have worked at a company or not.

The time has come to make a change for the better. Apply now for the engineering position available as advertised on our site that fits your profile.
