Bursaries 2026: Tips for writing your CV


* Be sure to tweak your CV to meet the specifications of a particular job you are applying to. Do this by emphasizing specific skills that may be more appealing to the job, or highlighting specific experiences. When doing this, it is vital that you ensure that all information is true and nothing is fabricated.

* Make sure your CV flows, is easy to read, and is typed and a professional and modern font. Try using 14 point font for headings, 12 point for subheadings, and 10 point for the body.

* Should you be handing in a hard copy of your CV to a potential employer, ensure that it is neat, clean, and on one side of a piece of paper.

* Ensure that your CV is brief, but mentions all your skills.

* Always be truthful by reflecting your qualifications and skills accurately.

* Be sure to include certified copies of qualifications, ensuring that they are no older than 3 months.

* Do not fold, crumple, or scrunch your CV if you plan to post/ hand-deliver it.

* Be sure to always include a cover letter when sending your CV. Your cover letter should be three to four paragraphs long, and explain why you would be the best fit for the job.

* Before submitting your CV and cover letter, be sure to proofread it at least twice.

LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ...

** 'n Aktuaris, 'n beroep wat soms deur mense gevolg word wat nie die persoonlikheid het om 'n rekenmeester te word nie, hou 'n praatjie.

Voor hy by die werklike onderwerp kom, wil hy graag 'n paar interessante syfers met die gehoor deel.

"Uit vorige ondervinding weet ek dat 25% van die gehoor na my luister. 'n Verdere 25% slaap gewoonlik.
50% is besig met dagdromery en beplanning van oorsese vakansies.

Waarop hy by die kern kom: "Daaruit kan ek dus aflei dat 75% van die gehoor my praatjie geniet."

LOL: Blou Maandag-humor ...

Hou in gedagte dat die volgende grap in Finansies & Tegniek van 5 Julie 1996 verskyn het. Dus is hierdie grap eintlik op die toekoms gerig - 9 jaar later! 

Dit is die jaar 2005. Niks werk meer soos dit moet nie. Ook nie die handrekenaars nie en die kinders word 'n nuwe nie-elektroniese manier geleer om somme op skool te doen.

Dit werk so:
Jy wil 35 beesvelle teen R23 stuk koop. Hoeveel kos dit in totaal?
👉 Skryf nou 35 links en 23 regs.
👉 Halveer die 35 en verdubbel die 23.
Die volgende ry lees dus 17,5 en 46.
👉 Ignoreer die ,5 want niemand weet meer teen hierdie tyd waarvoor breuke in ieder geval staan nie.
👉 Halveer nou weer die 17 en verdubbel 46.
👉 Ignoreer weer die ,5.
👉 Hou so aan tot die linkerkantste kolom op net 1 staan.
👉 Krap nou al die gelyke getalle in die linkerkantste kolom dood, want dit bring net onheil.
👉 Krap ook die getalle regoor die linkerkantste kolom se gelyke getalle dood.
👉 Tel dit op wat in die regterkantste kolom oorbly. Die antwoord is 805 - presies wat die 35 beesvelle teen R23 stuk kos.

Hierdie metode, is vry van enige masjiene waarvan die batterye kan pap word en die brein ooreis kan word.

Hierdie is die nuwe manier om somme te doen: Probeer dit ook met ander syfers.

O, jy wil my nie glo nie. Wag tot 2005 en kyk self.

ooOOoo

[Gelukkig lê 2005 al 20 jaar agter ons rug en werk al die sakrekenaars nog eksie-perfeksie en het ons nie hierdie lang metode nodig nie. Het jy die som gedoen op hierdie "nuwe" manier en is jou antwoord wel 805??]
