CV ZA is a free CV maker built for South Africa. You pick a style, answer five questions, and download a proper A4 PDF that is small enough to send on WhatsApp. There is no sign up, no account, no password and no card.
It is made for the phone in your hand, not for an office computer. It works in English, isiZulu, Sesotho and isiXhosa, it keeps working without data once it has loaded, and the templates are written for the work South Africans are actually applying for: matric leavers, general workers, learnerships and office jobs.
There is also a jobs page with fresh entry level posts and learnerships, refreshed every day from public sources, and a matric page that shows what your subjects can open.
CV ZA is built and run from Johannesburg. It is a small, independent South African project, not a recruitment agency, not a government site and not a franchise of anything overseas.
It exists because looking for work in this country already costs money that people looking for work do not have: data, airtime, taxi fare, printing. The CV itself should not be one more cost. So it is not.
CV ZA is free so anyone looking for work can make a CV on their phone.
If anyone asks you for money in CV ZA's name, it is a scam. Walk away and warn your people. Our page on spotting the pay to apply scam shows exactly how it runs.
You have every reason to be careful on the internet, so check us the way you would check anyone. Read the terms and the privacy page, then build a CV.
CV ZA. Made in South Africa for people looking for work.
