Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about this legacy archive and how it works.

This is the AK035 legacy archive. It contains our original tools built between 2020 and 2026. These tools still work, but they will no longer be updated. We have streamlined our core features — the Online Career Guide, CV Tools, and Job Resources — on the new ak035.co.za.
Yes. Every tool on this page is still fully functional. They simply will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or improvements. For the latest versions with new features, visit ak035.co.za.
We kept and streamlined three core resources on the new site: CV Tools (ak035.co.za/cv035/), the Online Career Guide (ak035.co.za/ocg035/), and Job Resources including recruitment agencies and job boards. Everything else from this archive remains accessible here as legacy tools.
Yes. All our online resources, including the CV analysis and career guidance tools (both legacy and new), are completely free to use. We apply usage limits to keep the service sustainable, but no payment is ever required. We are transparent about this: our costs are covered by advertising and social research partnerships.
We use anonymised input data for social research to help unemployed people and entrepreneurs in South Africa. We may also contact you if we find an opportunity that matches your profile. We are fully POPIA compliant. Read our full Legal, Privacy & Compliance framework.
Share our WhatsApp number or website link in your family groups, community chats, or with anyone who is job hunting. If you have access to a computer or local library, help others use these tools too. That is exactly why we built this. Sharing costs nothing and could change someone's life.
