SA3 Curriculum Vitae Template

Please consider the following points when writing up your CV:

  1. A CV is your life depicted on paper. It should express who you are as a person and a description of your life in a neat, clear and articulate format.
  2. Accuracy and attention to detail are vital.
  3. Ensure that you describe your work history and duties in detailed point form.
  4. In South Africa, organisations prefer 3 page CV's as opposed to the American and European 1 page résumé.
  5. Do not waste space or paper i.e. a cover page is not necessary.
