No, it is not necessary to add your ID number, marital status or number of dependants on your CV.

Your ID number can be used for fraud, so you do not want to send it to people you do not know. Recruiters and hiring managers will ask you for your ID number at some point within your application process to complete required vetting checks such as criminal checks or verifying your qualifications.

Only if it is relevant, for instance, if you are applying for a face-to-face customer service position.

A well-written cover letter gives you the chance to mention things that might not be on your CV and you can use the opportunity to sell yourself and gives the reader a glimpse into your personality.

No, but you should use the text from your cover letter in your application email body.

A career portal is a website on which companies list their available vacancies. Most companies are aware of, and often use the industry-leading career portal to find candidates.

These career portals include P-net, Career Junction, Indeed, Grapevine, Careers24, Glassdoor, Career Jet, BestJobs, Bizcommunity, Compujobs, Hoteljobs and more.

An ATS is an Applicant Tracking System. They are used by many large companies and recruiters to manage applicants that respond to their job ads. These systems use algorithms to scan CVs and then decide whether an applicant qualifies for the position using specific keywords.

While a vast number of people are on LinkedIn, not everyone is. CVs are still crucial to job search success, but they should be supported by a professional, active and detailed LinkedIn profile and Job portal profiles. Don’t forget to keep your social media squeaky clean as well. Employers often search for you on social before making the decision to hire you or not.

While LinkedIn does a good job of capturing all your info and displaying it on a pdf document, writing your own CV shows that you are organised and willing to put some effort into putting your best foot forward.

A portfolio website is an amazing tool for creative people or people with a body of work (such as website developers) to showcase. It is a website that displays all of your work in one place and gives the viewer a complete picture of your talent and skill.

Professionals that could benefit from it are graphic designers, artists, photographers, copywriters, digital marketers, architects and architectural graduates, etc.
