I am so happy to hear that 😊🤩, internships are for graduates without job experience so you don’t have to worry yourself about that. However, you need to make your skills strong such that they present you as a great candidate for an internship. If you have done any work while studying do include them, it will help.

That is true, but remember that in government HR does not do the shortlisting. Their job is to advertise and receive CV’s they do not have influence on whether you get selected or not. I am speaking on government departments but in the private sector it’s different. Remember in government your Z83 already has your personal information, use your CV to focus on showing how you qualify for the position.

Hi Jennifer, how do I structure my experience if my most recent and longest experience is only slightly relevant to the post/area of government I'm applying for. But I have the qualifications and prior experience that is just older (e.g.: 5 years). I ask because I haven't really been utilizing my qualification and passion in my current role, and I've been in it for 5 years now. But prior to that I have collective experience of about 2 years for the jobs I have qualifications for, and I feel I would enjoy. For more context, I work for a retail bank but would like to work in a legal setting because I have a paralegal certificate etc.

You still put your work experience starting with the most recent work experience.

And I am a T-vet product so i did N4-N6 then i did my 18 months internship for practicals to complete my National N Diploma,I completed the practicals in may and i applied for my Diploma so I am currently waiting for it to come back,can I mention that I am currently awaiting my Diploma on my CV in the meantime ?

It does not count how you created your CV but keep it simple and clean, No need for a Cover page because your Z83 serves a one. No borders or picture, basically the cleaner and simple your CV is the better. Please always mention the qualification you are currently doing or if still waiting for the certificate. If you can get an academic record even better, include it when applying if they want supporting documents but now they do not ask for them. But when they call you for an interview bring the academic record. Wishing you the best 🙏🏾, the next cycle of internship for 23/24 will start coming out between now and January so keep your eyes peeled on the DPSA every week.
