Before you buy.
What does the free CV review include?
You receive an overall diagnosis, three priority improvements, one before-and-after rewrite grounded in your CV, strengths, sections to improve and a next-actions checklist. Add a job advert for a focused comparison.
Do you store my CV?
No. Your PDF or DOCX is processed for that review and discarded. The review text is not saved. Only a one-way anonymous fingerprint and daily request count are retained to protect the free service from abuse.
Can I get a refund?
Because the files download instantly, digital purchases are not refundable. If a file will not download or open, we fix it or resend it. Download the free samples first to check the files suit you.
How can I pay?
Checkout runs on PayFast. You can pay by card, Instant EFT, SnapScan or Zapper, in South African Rand.
What is included in the toolkit?
Four editable CV layouts plus a Z83 companion, six cover-letter examples, a ten-page interview workbook, and an Excel application tracker with four useful sheets. The product page shows the real pages before you pay.
What format are the files?
The CV template pack and cover-letter pack are editable Word documents (DOCX). The interview guide is a polished PDF workbook, and the job application tracker is an Excel workbook (XLSX) with dropdowns, filters and follow-up cues.
How do I get my downloads?
After checkout, your private order page displays the downloads once PayFast confirms payment. Keep that page link safe: it grants access to your order. Download links are refreshed when you revisit the page.
Is the payment once-off?
Yes. The displayed toolkit price is a once-off payment in South African Rand through PayFast. There is no subscription.
Can I see the files before paying?
Yes. The free samples page shows representative content and provides a downloadable PDF excerpt from every paid file. Fictional details are clearly labelled inside examples.
What do I need to edit the files?
Use Microsoft Word or another program that opens DOCX files for the CV and cover-letter packs. Use Microsoft Excel or compatible spreadsheet software for the tracker. The interview workbook is supplied as a PDF.
What happens after I pay?
PayFast returns you to a private order page. Once PayFast confirms the payment, four download buttons appear automatically. Save that private page address so you can return for fresh download links.
Does the toolkit guarantee interviews?
No. These are self-guided resources to help prepare your application. Hiring decisions and compatibility with a particular employer’s application system are not guaranteed.
Can this help with government applications?
Yes. The toolkit includes original public-service CV, application, interview and tracking guidance. Our free Government Jobs hub links to current official vacancies, the official Z83 and free public services. Always follow the exact advert.
Is SA CV Studio part of government?
No. SA CV Studio is independent and is not endorsed by a government department. Official forms and services remain free on their owners’ websites; we link to them rather than reselling them.
