SETA SA Advice
Before you hit “send”, assemble a one‑page evidence pack: a tailored CV, a cover letter linked to the reference number, and a short paragraph describing a college project or practicum that shows initiative. Practice a 60‑second phone greeting – many employers use the first call to test telephone etiquette.
