Thabang Maimela’s Tip

As a Mechanical Engineering graduate, do not limit your CV to your qualification and university results. Employers also want to understand how you have applied your engineering knowledge.

Include relevant academic projects, design assignments, laboratory work, technical software exposure and any practical experience gained through vacation work, internships or university projects. Where possible, explain the engineering problem you worked on, your contribution and the outcome.

Also make sure your CV highlights your Microsoft Office proficiency, communication skills and ability to work collaboratively. Since this programme emphasises practical development and mentorship, demonstrating that you are willing to learn, take responsibility and contribute to projects can strengthen your application.
