Career development FAQs
How do I plan my next career move in South Africa?
Start with an honest skills audit, compare it against live South African job adverts in your field, then close the biggest gaps first. New Phase Hub generates a career path from your CV and links each step to real vacancies.
What skills are South African employers looking for?
Employers consistently ask for digital literacy, data handling, project coordination, client communication and sector-specific compliance knowledge. The skills development tool matches these against the roles you are targeting.
How do I prepare for a job interview?
Practise structured answers using the STAR method, research the employer's mandate and rehearse salary expectations. The interview coaching tool generates role-specific questions and feedback on your answers.
How do I ask for a promotion?
Document measurable results from the past 12 months, map them to the responsibilities of the next role, and book a dedicated conversation rather than raising it in a performance review. The AI Career Coach can help you script it.
