Make sure you select the correct organisational-development post
The same departmental circular contains a Deputy Director opportunity under reference 0104. This article concerns the Assistant Director post, reference 0106. Do not transfer the other role’s salary or managerial-experience requirements to this application. Check the title and reference together when opening the vacancy.
Show the connection between your experience and the role
For your own application preparation, list examples of work-study investigations, job analysis, evaluation or change-management work that you have personally undertaken. Explain your contribution and the outcome rather than reproducing the advert’s duties as if they were your employment history.
Keep the qualification and Job Evaluation Analysis certificate easy to identify in your CV. If your previous title differs from the advertised title, describe the relevant work accurately rather than changing the title to resemble the vacancy. Avoid sharing confidential organisational reports, employee records or internal salary information as evidence unless the employer specifically requests an appropriate, authorised document.
Document and delivery checks
The official notice requires the current Z83 and detailed CV, including three referees and their contact details. Supporting certified documents are requested at shortlisting. The circular also permits postal, courier and hand-delivered applications; use its exact address and quote 0106 if selecting one of those routes.
Before submitting, compare the reference on your form, CV and selected portal vacancy. Keep a copy of the application and the confirmation or delivery record. These checks are practical preparation advice, not additional selection criteria.
A separate governance role to compare
Readers with a governance background can also review National Treasury’s corporate-governance opportunity. It has a different professional focus, reference and application process. Treat it as a separate eligibility assessment rather than submitting an unchanged application to both employers.
