SpanSam guidance · Practical advice based on this listing, not additional employer requirements.
Match your background to the requirements
Compare the qualification named in the requirements with your completed studies. Use the exact qualification title and completion date in your CV. If your studies are still in progress, say so clearly. Check the source before assuming that a different qualification will be accepted.
Check the type and length of experience requested. Make relevant roles easy to find with consistent start and end dates, then explain your own responsibilities. Label internships, practical training and volunteering accurately so the recruiter can distinguish them from other employment.
Check any licence or professional registration mentioned in the requirements, including its category and validity. Confirm the wording against your own documents. Do not assume that a pending application or a different licence category meets the advertised condition.
Use the duties to tailor your CV
For Engineering Technician (Production Level): Plant Management (Bellville), Ref No. DOI 10/2025 R2, use the responsibilities above to decide which examples deserve space in your application. Choose a relevant task or project, explain what you personally did and describe the outcome. Use a measurable result where you have one, without inventing figures or sharing confidential information.
You do not need to repeat the whole advert in your CV. Help the reader connect your evidence to the advertised work. If you have not performed a duty before, describe relevant learning or transferable experience honestly rather than presenting it as a task you have already done.
Plan your submission
