The CV Revamping Process: 5 Steps to Transform Your CV
Why CV Revamping Matters in South Africa
In South Africa, where unemployment rates are high (33% in 2024, per Stats SA), a well-crafted CV can make all the difference. CV revamping isn’t just about updating your CV, it’s about tailoring it to South African employers, relevant skills, and ensuring it passes Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by most major companies.
Our 5-Step CV Revamping Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Goal Setting
We start with a feedback conversation to understand your career goals. Are you targeting a role in IT, finance, or education? This step ensures your CV revamping aligns with your dream job.
Step 2: Skills and Experience Audit
We review your current CV to identify gaps and strengths. We’ll highlight transferable skills and ensure they match South African job requirements.
Step 3: Design and Formatting
Our team redesigns your CV with a modern, ATS-friendly layout. We use clean fonts, strategic headings, and keywords to make your CV stand out to recruiters.
Step 4: Content Optimisation
We rewrite your CV to emphasize achievements, not just duties. For example, ‘Increased sales by 20%’ instead of ‘Managed sales team.’ This step ensures your CV grabs attention
Step 5: Final Review and Delivery
You’ll receive a draft for feedback, and we’ll make revisions until you’re 100% satisfied. Your revamped CV is delivered in PDF and Word formats, ready to apply with.
