FAQ
A few questions, answered
The things people ask us most before they get started.
Just send us your current CV, anything else that’s relevant to your career, and the kinds of positions you’re aiming for. Please also tell us which country or countries you’re applying to, as requirements differ.
If you’d like a photo on your CV (we highly recommend one for South African CVs), send a few professional head-and-shoulders photos that aren’t cut off, cropped or photoshopped.
Most projects take 2–3 working days, depending on the project. Some documents, such as a business or personal profile, may take a little longer. We’ll let you know what to expect when we confirm your booking.
We’ll send you a quote with our payment details. Your payment secures your booking date, which we’ll advise you of on the quote. Payment is required before we begin any work.
Once we’ve received your payment, your project is scheduled and we’ll let you know your date. We then start work on your documents, and if we have any questions along the way, we’ll send them to you. Most projects take 2–3 working days from your scheduled date.
You’ll then review your documents, and after any revisions you request, we send you your final Word and PDF files.
Yes. We prepare your CV to be ATS compliant and keyword optimised for the position or positions you’re applying for. We can’t 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.
Yes, we love working with South African and international clients. We tailor your documents to the country you’re applying to, because expectations such as CV length and whether to include a photo differ from place to place. Just tell us the country and role when you get in touch.
Only when we’re ready to start on your profile. If you order LinkedIn or job portal optimisation together with a CV, we finalise your CV first and then ask for your login details. If you order it on its own, we don’t need a finalised CV first.
We optimise your existing accounts, we don’t keep your passwords, and we log out of your accounts once the work is done. We also strongly suggest changing your password when we’re finished, just to be safe.
Absolutely. Every service on this website can be ordered on its own. Our packages simply bundle several services together, so choose whatever suits you. Not sure what you need? Contact us and we’ll help you decide.
After any revisions you request, you’ll receive your final documents in both Word and PDF format.
Our CV price covers up to 4 pages. A CV longer than 4 pages is charged an additional R100 for each extra page. Not sure how long yours will be? Send it to us and we’ll advise you.
Yes. Small one-line changes, such as a new cell number or email address, are free of charge. For bigger updates, such as new positions, qualifications or skills, our CV Updates service applies.
If your CV was created in another format, such as Canva, we first transfer everything into a Word document, and then make your updates.
CVs change all the time, so we suggest refreshing yours at least once a year, and whenever your experience, qualifications or career goals change. Our advice, interview tips and how-to guides on our blog are always free.
