Step-by-Step Guide: How to Create Your Account

The sign-up process takes less than five minutes and is completely free.

Step 1: Visit the Website

Open your browser on your phone or computer and go to nasi-ispani.co.za.

The platform works well on any smartphone. You do not need a computer to register.

Step 2: Click the “Register” Button

On the login page you will see two options: you can sign in with your Google account for a faster sign-up, or register manually using your email address. To register manually, tap the Register button below the login form.

Using “Continue with Google” is the quickest option if you already have a Gmail address — no extra password needed.

Step 3: Enter Your Personal Details

Fill in the registration form with the following:

1. Your full name
2. A valid email address
3. A secure password

Double-check your email address. You will need it to verify your account and to log in every time.

Step 4: Create a Secure Password

A strong password should:

• Be at least 8 characters long
• Include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
• Not include your name, birthdate, or simple patterns like 1234

Tick the “Remember me” box on your personal device so the platform keeps you signed in.

Step 5: Submit Your Registration

Once all your details are filled in correctly, click Submit or Register. If any fields are incorrect, the form will highlight them for you to fix before you can proceed.

Email Verification Process

After registering, Nasi iSPani will send a verification email to the address you provided. This step confirms your email is valid and keeps your account secure.

How to Verify Your Email

1. Open your email inbox
2. Look for an email from Nasi iSPani with a subject like “Verify Your Account”
3. Click the verification link inside the email
4. You will be redirected back to Nasi iSPani and your account will be activated

What If the Email Doesn’t Arrive?

• Check your Spam or Junk folder first
• Wait a few minutes — there may be a short delay
• Return to the site and request a new verification email
• Make sure you entered your email address correctly during registration

If the email still hasn’t arrived after 30 minutes, contact support through the website.

Logging In for the First Time

Once your email is verified, go to nasi-ispani.co.za. You have two ways to sign in:

• Continue with Google — if you registered with your Gmail account
• Username or Email + Password — if you registered manually

Enter your details and click the yellow Login button. Tick “Remember me” if you are on your personal phone so you stay signed in.

Forgot Your Password?

Click “Forgot password?” on the right side of the login form. Enter your email address and follow the reset link sent to your inbox to create a new password and regain access.

Your Nasi iSPani Dashboard: An Overview

Once you are logged in, you navigate the platform using the bottom navigation bar, which has five tabs. Here is what each one does.

My CV — Build Your Professional Profile

This is where you build and manage your professional CV. Your profile is divided into six sections:

• Personal Info
• Education
• Work Experience
• Skills
• Projects
• References

A Profile Completion bar at the top shows your percentage. Aim to get this as close to 100% as possible — a complete profile improves your visibility to employers and makes the platform’s AI tools work better for you.

Use the green “Extract info from my current CV” button to automatically pull your details from an existing CV, saving you time on data entry.

Once your profile sections are filled in, tap “Create my CV” to generate a formatted, downloadable CV.

Each section shows a COMPLETED or INCOMPLETE badge. Tap Edit next to any incomplete section to fill it in and boost your profile score.

My Jobs — Track Every Application

My Jobs is your full application tracking hub. Every job you save or apply for is organised across five stages:

• Saved — jobs you have bookmarked to apply for later
• Applied — applications you have submitted
• Interviewing — jobs where you have been called in for an interview
• Offered — jobs where you have received an offer
• Rejected — applications that were not successful

The free plan lets you save up to 15 jobs and track up to 12 jobs and 12 keywords. Tap the bell icon to set up job alerts so you never miss a new listing.

Tap “Get More Credits” to upgrade and unlock more saved jobs, tracked jobs, and daily AI credits.

Discover

This is the main job browsing section and the homepage you land on when you open the app. Use it to search for new listings, browse job categories, and filter by location.

AI Buddy — Your Personal Job Search Assistant

AI Buddy is Nasi iSPani’s built-in AI assistant. Type any question into the chat, or tap one of the quick-start buttons such as “Help me find a job”.

AI Buddy uses your profile and the platform’s live listings to give you personalised guidance.

On the free plan you receive 15,000 AI credits per day to use this feature.

💡 Try asking AI Buddy: “What jobs match my skills?” or “Help me write a cover letter.”

Tools

The Tools tab gives you access to additional career resources and profile enhancement features to support your job search.

How to Start Your Job Search Online

Using the Search Bar

In the Discover section, type a job title, skill, or keyword into the search bar. Try “General Worker”, “Admin”, “Cashier”, or “Driver” to get started.

Filtering by Location and Category

Use the filters to narrow your results by province, city, or job category. This helps you focus on opportunities that are genuinely accessible to you.

Saving and Applying for Jobs

When you find a job you are interested in, you can save it to your My Jobs tracker or tap Apply to submit an application. Make sure your profile is as complete as possible before applying so employers see your full details.

Using AI Buddy to Find Jobs

Not sure what to search for? Open the AI Buddy tab and tap “Help me find a job”. The AI will ask you a few questions and suggest suitable roles based on your profile and skills.
