Frequently Asked Questions

Published by Daniël Meiring on

Aren’t your CVs too expensive?

This is simply not the case. Our CVs are some of the most competitively priced CVs in South Africa. Most  writing services charge a fee starting from R1000 per CV and up, and then you get the lot that charge you R35 a pop. Or better yet, free templates. But we offer 3 distinctively different products to choose from to suit your budget and needs. We understand that during these times money can be a problem, and that is why we have kept our prices affordable. A well designed professional CV will increase your chances of finding a job or climb the corporate ladder, and the benefits of finding employment will more than justify the cost of your brand new resume.
Remember it’s not only a CV, its the document that must communicate with recruiters and your potential future employer. You are competing with hundreds if not thousands of applicants out there, and you need to stand out. Included in our costs is more than 12 years worth of recruitment experience at your fingertips. You will get a direct line to your very own personal CV writer, and a clear professional copy will always be available at the press of a button, should you need it.

If I'm using a recruitment agency, does my CV's design still matter?

Yes it does. You still need to capture the attention and interest of the consultant working at the recruitment agency. Design and layout are always of utmost importance, whether you are working through an agency or applying directly to the company of your dreams. Make sure you stand out from the other applicants while also optimizing your ranking as determined by applicant tracking system (ATS) algorithms.

My current CV looks good, why am I not getting feedback from my applications?

At The CV Central, we understand the pressures associated with job hunting. The process can sometimes be tedious and demotivating. We understand the anxiety when recruiters don’t call back, or when that interview that “went so well” yield results. Sometimes even when your CV looks good, it simply does not return the results you expect. In a world flooded with CVs, you need to make sure yours stand out from the crowd. It needs to highlight your competencies and demonstrate your growth in the correct manner. Sometimes even the slightest spacing issues or smallest spelling mistakes can derail your efforts. There is no harm in having it assessed by professionals.
On the best looking CV, an incorrectly typed contact number or email address can cost you dearly. The Golden Rule is to double-check, and then check again.

Why use The CV Central?

At The CV Central we look deeper than just your CV. We promote growth paths and highlight your core competencies. We include your Top Skills and can custom make your CV to include a whole range of matrixes. One of our popular design elements include a Language Spectrum in a visual format for those of you who have mastered multiple languages, which is a sure sign of intelligence, but people neglect to highlight that fact.
We make sure your Qualifications and Awards are included. People underestimate the importance of awards and then forget to include that “Team Spirit Award” or worse, I have come across CVs where entire qualifications were missing. We identify gaps in information on your CV. Individuals neglect to record Promotions or “Team Leader” roles, and they need to show this in order to stand out from the crowd and get noticed.
The true value of our CVs is leveraged by more than 12 years of experience in the recruitment and selection sectors, and our ability to present the right information in such a way as to convey the targeted message to the person intended. This gives us an edge over other creative writers. Each individual CV is put through a rigorous screening process to ensure zero errors on completion. We give professional advice on each CV and it’s content thereof.

Can’t I just make use of a free template and make my own CV?

A good looking CV IS important, but our service covers more than mere aesthetics, given our experience in the Recruitment sector.
Keep in mind, like with some things in life, you are better off using a professional person’s services than going at it alone. You wouldn’t use unqualified person to do the job of a doctor or a lawyer, so why take a chance on something that can determine your career path? With our competitively priced products, rendered by people with extensive experience in the recruitment industry, there is no reason not to consider our services. The price you pay for a new CV will be a mere fraction of your next salary at your new job.

Is it guaranteed that I’ll get a job if my CV is done by The CV Central?

While we cannot guarantee jobs, we can guarantee that your chances of landing an interview will significantly increase. As explained in the answers above, we know what recruiters and employers are looking for when it comes to CVs. We use our extensive knowledge gathered in the recruitment industry to format and present your CV to something that will draw a recruiter or an employer’s attention.
