Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Optimize Your CV for Admin
Because this is a Business Administration role, recruiters look for “neatness” and “order.” Ensure your CV is formatted clearly in PDF. Specifically highlight any experience you have with Microsoft Word or Excel, even if it was just for school projects. This proves you have the “basic computer skills” required to handle the NQF Level 3 coursework.
