Hi guys,
Once again I am posting looking for a vacancy, possibly within the U.S (no real preference)
I am a 28 year old white male residing in South Africa.
Attached is my CV, containing full employment history, qualifications and registrations with professional bodies.
I have 8 years experience in the survey industry, holding a National Diploma : Surveying and a B.Tech degree : Engineering Surveying. I have experience doing subdivisions, beacon relocation (doing the calcs, fieldwork and reporting, then final checking and submission done by PLSS) as well as numerous projects doing construction staking on large and small projects from setting out roads, pipelines, electrical lines, concrete work etc, as-builts, volumes for mining, aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry, laser scanning and the resulting CAD reporting.
A more detailing list of software and hardware skills and knowledge is contained within my CV.
I am currently employed at a PLS firm, and looking for a firm with growth opportunity where I can more fully utilize the skills I have acquired such as project and staff management.
Kind regards
Dirk Uys

In Britain, stating your ethnicity and gender in an application might raise an eyebrow or two. Maybe this is normal elsewhere?
Hi. With South Africa's history, it is the norm to state ethnicity and gender when applying.
We have massive BEE (black economic empowerment),EE(employment equity) and AA (affirmative action) policies that prefer black,female employees so when applying for a job, employers want to know very quickly if you will fulfill the BEE,EE and AA status of the position.
Government tender require BEE certificates to show how much BEE is done within the organization and the better the score the more likely to get the tender
Just how js here

Oh how I wish it was. Locally a splitty is expensive (last one I saw was R350 000 so roughly $27 000) and it was kind of ok

It looks like a good resume. Good luck.
FYI, specifying that you are a white male christian in your CV and communications may be a bit of a turn off to North American HR people. By law, discriminating based on these factors is illegal. Putting that in your CV may create a perception that these were factors leading to your selection. Therefore HR may just decide to avoid a potential problem and put your resume aside. There will be time enough for those personal details in the interview.
