Real job seekers from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya use CV Chap Chap to build CVs and cover letters that get read.
I had been using the same old CV for years with no replies. I rebuilt it here in one evening, paid with my phone, and started getting calls back. The Swahili guidance made it easy to follow.
As a nurse I was not sure how to put my training and placements on paper. The builder asked the right questions and the template looked clean and professional when I downloaded it.
What I liked is that it works well on the phone. I do not own a laptop, so doing the whole thing on my phone and getting a proper PDF at the end was exactly what I needed.
I had no work experience and thought I had nothing to write. The fresh graduate guidance showed me how to use my studies and field attachment, and the CV finally looked complete.
I used it to make both my CV and a matching cover letter for a bank role. Having them in the same style made my whole application look serious and put together.
Simple and fast. I picked a template, filled in my details and licence, and downloaded it the same day. The price in shillings paid by mobile money was fair.
