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.

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.
