How to apply
Send a completed Z83 and detailed CV in PDF format, maximum 10 MB, to Post268@dlrrd.gov.za. Alternatively, hand-deliver to the fourth floor, No. 2 Riebeeck Street, ABSA Building, Cape Town. Quote the reference.
Certified supporting documents are requested from shortlisted candidates. Enquiries: Mr T Mtintsilana, 071 302 1220.
Use the department’s stated PDF size limit when preparing the submission. Sending a larger file, an unreadable scan or an incomplete form can prevent the recruitment team from assessing it. The notice says emailed submissions receive an automated acknowledgement, whereas manually submitted applications are not acknowledged because of volume. Retain that email if it arrives, while remembering that acknowledgement is not an offer or a shortlisting decision. Applicants invited to interview must supply certified supporting documents as requested. Those with foreign qualifications should prepare the SAQA evaluation. Selection includes practical and integrity assessments, verification and suitability checks. The department says to regard an application as unsuccessful if no response is received within three months.
Prepare a clear application
For the Cape Town Registry 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 the Cape Town Registry Clerk advert. 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.
