How buying works, step by stepCompare all 8 options below

Drawing: a woman on a couch types her CV on her phone, over the example name. No CV yet? Start tonight. Type over the example, right on your phone.
Your CV in 3 steps: 1. Open it on a phone in the free Google Docs app. 2. Type over the example, starting with your name. 3. Send it with each job, in the kind of file the advert asks for.

You type your own details. The page is already set up.

This is real text from the file. You replace the example with your own name, jobs and numbers. The headings and the order stay the same.

Small preview. The real file is full size and has more lines. Shaded words with a dotted line under them are the example. You type your own details over them. Look here: your phone number and email are typed in the page itself. Some software that reads CVs skips the header (a separate space at the very top of a Word page). This CV has nothing in the header.

Make a copy for each job

Keep one copy as your main CV. For each job, save a new copy. Change the summary and the skills to match the job advert. Then send it the way the advert asks.

One CV for South African jobs. It is a CV template (a full example CV; you type your own details over the example words). We do not write your CV for you.

It comes as a Word file (a document you can type in; the name ends in .docx). You download it to your phone or computer. You can use it for every job you apply for.

Choose 1 of 2 designs (the look of the page). Tap the one you want before you pay. Not sure? Choose Clean Minimal.

You can find free CV templates online, and some are good. Here is what you can check in this one.

Paper size
A4, or another size?
A4 (the normal paper size in South Africa).
Columns
One column, or side by side?
One column (the words run down the page in one line, not side by side).
Photo and ID
Photo, ID number, date of birth?
No photo, ID number or date of birth. You do not need them on your CV. Give them later, only if an employer asks.
Example
Empty, or already written?
Already written, with South African details like “National Senior Certificate (Matric)”.
A computer may read your CV first. With a simple, one-column layout, the software saves your name, job and dates in the right place. With a busy layout, details can land in the wrong place or go missing. A person still reads your CV.

Is this for me?

  • You need a CV, and you do not have one.
  • You finished matric or your studies, and you want your first job.
  • You want office, bank, shop or government work.
  • You are helping someone in your family apply.
No computer? Open the CV in the free Word or Google Docs app on your phone. On a computer, use Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. A computer is easier to type on.

What do I need to use it?

Easiest on a computer. On a phone, open it in the free Google Docs app.You do not need to buy Microsoft Word. Google Docs (a free Google app for typing documents, on a phone or computer) opens it. Get it from the Play Store or the App Store. No computer at home? Use one at a library or an internet café.

How do I get it after I pay?When you pay, you type your email address. Right after you pay, we send a download link there. Tap the link to save the file on your phone or computer. The link also shows on the screen after you pay. No email? Look in your spam or promotions folder.

If a file will not open, you get your money back. Email hello@blessingmdigital.co.za. A person replies in one to two business days.

What do I get?

  1. Your CV, in the design you chooseA full example to type over, A4 size. About 10 KB, so it uses very little data. The file name has the name of your design in it.Word file

1 file. Pay once. Yours to keep and reuse. Checked inside the file: no tables, boxes or pictures. All your details are typed in the page itself, in normal text.

Other questions

Which design should I choose?

Not sure? Choose Clean Minimal. It is black and grey, with simple, classic headings. It suits admin, government, finance, banking, customer service, retail (shops), logistics (transport and storing goods) and first jobs. Modern Professional has headings in capital letters and one dark blue colour. It suits marketing, sales, business development, IT support and hospitality (hotels, lodges and restaurants).

I have never worked. Can I use it?

Yes. The example shows a person with jobs. Put your school, study, volunteer or holiday work under the same headings.

Is there a Z83 form for government jobs?

No. No Z83 form is included. Clean Minimal suits government jobs.

Can computer software read this CV?

ATS (computer software some companies use to sort and search CVs) works differently at each company. Nobody can promise it will read your CV correctly. This CV is set out simply: one column, normal headings, and no tables or pictures. That helps software read it. Nobody can promise you an interview or a job.

Can I get the other design later?

You get one design, the one you choose. To get the other one, you can buy it in a second order. Both designs are in the complete system.

Should I send a Word file or a PDF?

Send what the job advert asks for. If it does not say, a Word file is the safer choice. Does the advert ask for a PDF (a document you read or print; it opens on most phones)? Google Docs can save your CV as a PDF.

How do I get it after I pay?

  1. Tap Buy now. If your cart opens, tap Check out. You do not need an account.
  2. On the next page, type your email address. Then choose Payfast or Paystack. Their payment page opens. You type your card or bank details there, not on our page.
  3. Pay. Right after you pay, we email you a download link. The link is also on the page you see right after you pay.
  4. Tap the link. Save the files on your phone, in Google Drive, or on a computer.

Cannot find the email? Look in your spam or promotions folder. Still nothing? Email us with your order number.

Phone or computer? It is a Word file (a document you can type in). Typing a CV is easiest on a computer: at home, a library, an internet café or a friend's laptop. On a phone, use the free Google Docs app. You do not need to buy Microsoft Word.

How can I pay?

Pay with a bank card that has a Visa or Mastercard logo.

No card? You can pay straight from your bank account. Choose Instant EFT on Payfast, or Ozow on Paystack. You need online banking (you can log in to your bank on the internet or in your bank's app). You approve the payment on your phone.

You pay once. There is no monthly charge.

The payment page shows every way to pay. They are Visa, Mastercard, American Express (on Paystack), Instant EFT, Ozow, Zapper, Mobicred and Payflex. Mobicred and Payflex are only for people who qualify. Both check your credit record first.

What if a file does not open?

If a file will not open, you get your money back.
