How to apply
Submit a signed, initialled new Z83 and an updated CV. Electronic applications must combine these into one attachment. The official PDF prints the email as Jobs–ECUTT@labour.gov.za; copy and confirm the address against the advert rather than relying on a guessed address.

Complete sections A, B, C and D of the new Z83 in full. The notice allows references to the attached CV for sections E, F and G, but the question in Part F about conditions preventing reappointment must still be answered. Initial and sign the form. Put the form and CV into one electronic attachment, then check both are legible before sending.

Foreign qualifications require the relevant SAQA evaluation when requested. Shortlisting may include practical and integrity assessments. The notice says that applicants who hear nothing within eight weeks after closing should consider their application unsuccessful.
Prepare a clear application
For the Mthatha Administration Clerk application, start by comparing your qualifications and experience with each requirement in the official advert. Your CV should make the relevant evidence easy to find. Use accurate dates, clear job titles and specific examples of work you actually completed. Never claim a qualification, licence, professional membership or responsibility you do not hold.
Where you describe experience, explain the task, the tools or processes you used and the result. A short, concrete example is more helpful than a long list of personal qualities. Check that your telephone number and email address are current and that any referees you list can be contacted.
Before sending, open the final attachment and check that every page is readable, correctly oriented and complete. Make sure the vacancy reference in your application matches this post. Keep a copy of the documents and evidence of submission. Submit early enough to address a rejected email or unreadable file; preparing an application is not the same as successfully submitting it.
