Frequently Asked Questions

Beyond standard Word and Excel, you should be familiar with SharePoint and Helpdesk/Service Desk software, as you will be responsible for drawing reports and updating technical service requests daily.
Yes. Failure to use the improved Z83 form (effective Jan 2021) or submitting copies of qualifications before being shortlisted will result in immediate disqualification. Only your CV and the Z83 are required initially.
The Personnel Practitioner (Level 8) focus is more on the technical execution and capturing of HR transactions (like updating PERSAL and facilitating processes), whereas the Assistant Director (Level 9) involves supervisory responsibilities and higher-level strategic management of the HR unit.
While not explicitly listed in the 'Requirements' section for this specific post in the text provided, a valid driver's license is generally preferred for Practitioner roles in this department. However, it is not listed as a strict 'deal-breaker' for this Level 8 position unless specified during the shortlisting phase.
No, this is an administrative position. While you will be working in an IT office and logging calls on a Helpdesk system, your primary duties involve coordination, reporting, and clerical support rather than fixing hardware.
Yes. The job requirements explicitly state that a PERSAL Certificate or Results must be submitted. This is because a core duty of the post involves capturing and updating the establishment and personal information directly on the PERSAL system.
