How to apply without being disqualified

1. Use the new Z83 form and complete every part (A to D). Sign it. 2. Write the exact post title and reference number. Use one Z83 per post. 3. Attach a detailed CV. Most departments only ask for certified copies if you are shortlisted. 4. Use the method in the advert. Correctional Services and Limpopo Health accept online applications only. Emailing them will not work. 5. Upload PDFs, not photos. Limpopo Health says JPEG and zipped files will not be accepted.

Avoid scams

Government posts are free to apply for. No department, "agent" or WhatsApp group can sell you a post or an interview. If someone asks for money, it is a scam.
