2. Show relevant evidence

Make your CV easy to scan. Use concrete examples from employment, study, training, volunteering or projects to demonstrate the skills that match the advertised role. Do not claim experience you do not have.

Important for PNG job seekers: never pay an individual to “secure” a job or interview. Be cautious with requests for money, passwords, PINs or banking details. If something seems suspicious, independently contact the organisation through contact details on its official website.
