Hands typing on a laptop at a wooden desk, next to a printed page and a phone.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Start with the job

    Name the role, the sector, and the city. The questions follow that job, not a blank page.

  2. Step 2

    Answer in your own words

    Studies, work, and skills. JobSeek saves as you go and does not invent a job, a skill, or a qualification.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a design and download

    Pick one of the four designs and download a PDF. You send it yourself. JobSeek does not send it to an employer.

Four designs

These are real samples of the four layouts, using a fictional person. Your CV uses only what you type.

  • Sample ATS Classic CV, one page, for fictional applicant Ayanda Example.

    ATS Classic

    Recommended for online applications. One column and ordinary headings.

  • Sample Modern CV, one page, for fictional applicant Ayanda Example.

    Modern

    One column, with a colour rule. Still text, not a picture of a CV.

  • Sample Graduate CV, one page, for fictional applicant Ayanda Example.

    Graduate

    For a first job or a learnership. Education and projects come first.

  • Sample Government CV, page 1 of 2, for fictional applicant Ayanda Example.

    Government

    A companion to the Z83. Page 1 of a 2-page sample. It does not fill in the Z83.

Questions

Does JobSeek send my CV?

No. The app never sends your CV to anyone. You download the file and you decide where it goes.

Will it add experience I did not type?

No. We only use what you enter. We do not invent jobs, skills, or qualifications.

What does it cost?

Free is R0, with one watermarked PDF of each version. Basic is R99 once-off for 12 months of updates. Pro is R179 once-off for 12 months. Renewal is R49 a year, and it does not renew on its own. Paid plans are coming soon.

Where do I look for jobs?

Find jobs opens official sites in a new tab. We do not keep their listings. Guides cover the DPSA circular, the Z83, ESSA, NQF levels, and registration bodies.
