Mzansi4Youth Tip
Don’t just list your qualifications. When applying, highlight practical skills you’ve gained (for example: working with electrical systems at school, projects, or community work). Employers like to see that you can apply theory in real life. Also, triple-check your documents before sending — incomplete applications are often rejected.
