Crafting your CV with the right tools.
Navigating the complexities of the job market can indeed be overwhelming, especially in South Africa’s current economic landscape, where the unemployment rate has surged to 32.6%, according to Stats SA.
Even more concerning is the statistic that 59.6% of young South Africans between the ages of 15-24 are not employed or in further training/education, while 34% of those actively seeking work remain unemployed.
In a job-scarce environment, having a well-crafted elevator pitch can be one of the most empowering tools. It can make the difference between landing a job interview, networking effectively, or successfully pitching an idea.
