Work-Force career tools
Free CV builder
Create a CV for job applications in South Africa. Add your details, check the preview, then print or save a PDF.
No account needed to build or download. Joining the recruiter directory is optional.
Use your own device. Anyone using this browser could open the saved draft. Start over removes it.
For a PDF, choose “Save as PDF” in the print window. Use A4 paper and turn off headers and footers.
Optional recruiter directory
Make your CV available to recruiters.
Join Work-Force’s private CV directory so approved recruiters with a paid subscription can find you.
Building and downloading a CV is always separate from joining the directory. You can use the CV builder without sharing your details.
The directory is not accepting new profiles yet. You can still build and download your CV.
Your CV and your application are separate. Building and downloading keeps your details in this browser. Details are uploaded only if you choose to join or update the optional recruiter directory. Downloading a CV does not apply for a job.

Applying for your first job?
Select the first-job option in Experience. You can use education, school projects and volunteering to explain your skills without inventing employment.
Saving and sharing
Download a draft if you want to edit your CV later, or choose device saving on your own computer. Building and downloading your CV does not upload it. The optional recruiter directory has a separate sign-in and consent process.
