Quick Tips to Stand Out (Level 03 Driver Operator)

• In your CV, create a big “DRIVING EXPERIENCE” section: list exact years, types of vehicles driven, any passenger/goods transport, logbook experience, vehicle maintenance you’ve done.
• Attach a copy of your Code C1 licence (even if not asked yet – mention it clearly).
• Highlight reliability, punctuality, and ability to work irregular hours (e.g. church/minibus/volunteer driving).
• Mention any local knowledge of roads around Limpopo.
