Application Helper · optional writing service
Tailor your CV to any government post
A CV rewritten for one post, a Z83 answer sheet and a checklist of what to send. Check your CV against the post for free first; pay only if you want the documents.
Applying for government jobs is always free. This is an optional writing service. It doesn't affect how departments select candidates and isn't connected to DPSA or any department.
Then open the post and press "Check my CV for free".
How it works
- Your CVUpload your CV, or answer a few questions if you don't have one.

- Pay R39Only if you want the documents. Secure payment by Yoco.
- DownloadYour CV in PDF and Word, the Z83 answer sheet and checklist, usually in a few minutes.
What you get
- A CV tailored to one post, as PDF and Word: your own experience, reordered and reworded for what the advert asks for. Single column, standard headings, easy for any system to read.
- A Z83 answer sheet: what to write in each part of the current Z83 form for this post. You fill in and sign the official form yourself.
- A checklist of the documents to send for this post.
- Gaps: what the post asks for that your CV doesn't show, and honest advice on each.
Price
Prices in rand; govposts is not VAT-registered, so no VAT is charged. One free redo per purchase. Terms and refunds.
The honesty rule
We never invent or upgrade anything: no qualification, employer, job title, date, registration, licence, language or skill that isn't in your CV. We only reword, reorder and emphasise what you gave us. Where a post asks for something your CV doesn't show, we put it under "gaps" with honest advice, never in your CV. Code checks every CV for this before you get it.
Your privacy
- Your name, phone number, email address, ID number and address are taken out of your CV before the AI reads it, and are put back only on your finished documents.
- Your CV, its text and your documents are deleted after 7 days. We keep the order record (email, amount, date) for 5 years because the tax law requires it.
- We never sell or share your CV. Anthropic processes it for us to prepare the documents; Yoco processes your payment. See the privacy policy.
Questions
Is applying free?
Yes. Applying is always free, and no department charges an application fee. Never pay anyone for a post. This service is optional: you can apply with your own CV and the Z83 as you are.
Is this connected to DPSA or a department?
No. govposts is independent. Paying doesn't affect how departments select candidates; it helps you present your own experience clearly for one post.
What happens to my CV?
Your contact details are taken out before the AI reads it. Your CV and documents are deleted after 7 days. We never sell or share it. Privacy policy.
Can I get a refund?
If your documents aren't delivered within 24 hours, they are blank or broken, or you were charged twice, you get a full refund. You also get one free redo. See the terms.
What if I don't have a CV?
Choose "I don't have a CV" and answer a few questions about your education, work and skills instead.
