Qualified but not getting interviews? Your CV may be the problem.
Your experience and qualifications may be strong, but if your CV does not present them clearly, employers may overlook your value. Start with a free professional review to identify what may be holding your applications back.
What We Check in Your CV
We assess how clearly your CV presents your experience, skills, structure and professional positioning for the South African job market.
Whether your CV is organised clearly and allows employers or recruiters to identify the most important information quickly.
Whether your experience, responsibilities and value are communicated clearly, professionally and without unnecessary repetition.
Whether your CV gives employers a clear understanding of the strongest direction your experience currently supports.

Terms, Refunds, Cancellations & Privacy Notice
This page explains our free CV review and optional paid CV improvement process, including service terms, payments, delivery, corrections, refunds, cancellations and privacy.
Service Type
CV Coach SA provides remote professional South African CV review and improvement services through WhatsApp and/or email.
We are not a recruitment agency or job-placement service and do not provide jobs, vacancies, recruitment, placements, interviews, employer access or employment guarantees.
How the Service Works
Request a free review through our website, WhatsApp, email or an applicable Meta Instant Form. Send the CV in Word or PDF format, or as clear, readable screenshots if the file is unavailable.
The free review provides feedback only. If improvement is recommended, the client may choose an optional paid package, with no obligation to purchase.
This website provides information and contact routes. It does not process payments or operate as an online checkout store.
South African Packages and Pricing
Full Career Positioning Package
Professional Application Package
Professional CV Alignment
The free review is provided first. Optional paid CV improvement starts from R400 if recommended.
Payment and Start of Work
South African payments are made by EFT. Payment details are sent after package selection.
A proof of payment confirms that payment was initiated, but work is scheduled only after it reflects in the business account. Preparation begins once the package, reflected payment and required client information are confirmed.
PayPal and United Kingdom payment links do not apply to the South African service.
Turnaround, CV Approval and Digital Delivery
After payment reflects and the submission is received, we will contact the client if anything important is unclear or missing, or if further information could strengthen the CV.
Once the required information is available, the CV is prepared within 2 business days and sent first in PDF format for review and approval. Waiting for answers, corrections or approval can extend the overall delivery date.
After CV approval, the final CV and remaining package documents are completed, quality-checked and delivered through WhatsApp and/or email.
- Final CV: Word and PDF.
- Tailored Cover Letter, where included: Word and PDF.
- CV Improvement Summary, where included: PDF.
- Relevant Job Role Suggestions and Application Guidance, where included: PDF.
CV Review, Approval and Corrections
The client must check personal details, dates and facts in the approval PDF and send corrections clearly through WhatsApp or email.
The CV is the client-approval document. Remaining package documents are produced from the approved CV and internally quality-checked before delivery.
Errors, formatting issues or reasonable corrections connected to the original service may be requested within 2 business days after final delivery.
New career information, a new target direction, additional tailoring or later instructions may require a separate assessment and fee.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Cancellation and refund requests are assessed according to the stage of personalised work completed and applicable South African law.
If cancellation occurs before paid work starts, any refund due may be processed less unavoidable charges where applicable and legally permitted.
After authorised work starts, or documents are completed or delivered, amounts for work already performed are generally non-refundable. This does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
No refund is provided solely because completed documents do not result in job responses, interviews or employment. Employment outcomes are not guaranteed.
Client Responsibility
Clients must provide accurate personal, career, education and employment information and report required corrections.
We use the supplied information and supporting material and do not independently verify employment, qualifications, licences, registrations or references unless separately agreed. Clients must check and approve the CV before using it.
