Most South Africans still send a PDF CV and hope for the best. But guess what? In 2025, employers and recruiters Google you before hiring.
Imagine sending a link like:
www.ThaboMokoena.co.za
That’s powerful. Here’s why having a personal website helps you land jobs faster:
1. You Stand Out
Recruiters see hundreds of PDF CVs. A personal website makes you memorable. It shows you’re serious about your career.
2. Showcase Your Work
If you’re a designer, admin, engineer, teacher, or even a chef — you can add:
Photos of projects
Testimonials
Skills lists
Work achievements
3. Instant Contact
Your website can include:
WhatsApp button
Live chat
Booking links
So employers can reach you immediately.
4. Better Search Results
Having a website helps your name appear higher in Google searches. That builds trust with employers.
5. Professionalism
Having your own website screams:
“I’m ready for business.”
Even if you’re job hunting, it’s an instant trust-builder.
