Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.

Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Somerset West; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Start your CV with your stack in one line, such as "C#, .NET 8, SQL Server, Azure", then your years on it.
Tidy your public repos before you apply; recruiters and tech leads really do open them.
