Candidate Engineering Technologist at Western Cape Government (Department of Infrastructure)

Repost from Muvhuso Khorommbi Attention Candidates/Applicants: Please be advised of common practices in private consulting companies. While job hunting, refrain from attaching copies of your ID, qualifications, and proof of registration with professional bodies. Instead, simply email your CV and state, "Qualifications will be submitted upon request or all outstanding documents will be submitted if shortlisted for the position advertised." Some companies exploit candidate documents for bidding on projects/tenders, especially if the candidate holds a master's or honours degree, relevant experience, and is registered with professional bodies. They may fabricate proof of employment for these candidates, falsely claiming full-time employment and using their work email addresses and their contact details during the application process, thereby gaining an advantage. To safeguard against such practices, candidates should periodically verify their employment status with labor authorities. Additionally, exercise caution when applying or sending documents to @gmail.com addresses. Stay vigilant.

Very well put. Also, don't send a message on LinkedIn to a person you don't know and be very informal and beg for a job. And when they didn't reply to your DM within an hour send another message saying you are desperate and the person 'must assist'. Not professional at all. Who says this person is hiring? CVs need to tell a story. Where you have been and what you want to learn.
