About the Department of Employment and Labour

The Department of Employment and Labour is a South African national government department responsible for employment and labour-related public administration.

The vacancies covered in this guide include opportunities associated with the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) as well as a position at the Department’s Provincial Office in Limpopo.

The supplied advert places the UIF Assistant Director and Administration Clerk vacancies in Pretoria, while the Chief Personnel Officer position is associated with the Provincial Office in Limpopo and provides a Polokwane application address.
The DPSA explains that its Public Service Vacancy Circular contains advertisements from public-service departments, but that vacancy enquiries should be directed to the department advertising the specific position.

Why These Vacancies May Be Worth Considering

The main strength of this advert is the range of experience levels.

Entry-level opportunity

The Administration Clerk position requires Grade 12 or equivalent and no experience.

Professional and practitioner opportunities

The Assistant Director positions require tertiary qualifications and several years of relevant experience.

Human-resource opportunity

The Chief Personnel Officer position is targeted at candidates with an HR qualification and supervisory experience.

Specialist opportunities

The Project Management and Quality Management vacancies are more specialised and require applicants to demonstrate experience directly related to the advertised field.

Editorial view: Applicants should choose the vacancy based on their actual qualifications and experience rather than applying to every position simply because the employer is attractive.

How to Prepare a Strong Z83 Application

A good application should be accurate, complete and easy for a selection panel to evaluate.

Match the vacancy

Do not submit a generic CV without checking whether it clearly demonstrates the experience required for the specific post.

Explain relevant experience

For professional positions, explain responsibilities rather than only listing job titles.

Keep dates consistent

Employment dates and qualification information should be consistent across your application documents.

Do not exaggerate

Never add experience, qualifications or responsibilities that you cannot substantiate.

Review the application before sending

Check:

  • name;
  • contact details;
  • qualification information;
  • employment history;
  • reference number;
  • job title;
  • signature;
  • initials;
  • attachment format;
  • recipient email address.

Common Application Mistakes

The supplied advert identifies several avoidable problems.

The Department specifically requires the form to be initialled and signed.

Sending the wrong file format

ZIP, IMG and JPEG attachments are not accepted according to the advert.

Using the wrong email address

The Department expressly warns applicants to use the correct email address associated with the post.

Omitting the reference number

The reference number identifies the specific vacancy.

Applying after the deadline

Potential corrections may include:

  • job title;
  • reference number;
  • salary;
  • closing date;
  • application email;
  • application address;
  • qualification requirement;
  • experience requirement;
  • vacancy status.

Update and Freshness Policy

This page contains a Last checked date because vacancy information can change.

The page should be reviewed when:

  • the official vacancy document changes;
  • an application deadline changes;
  • a vacancy is withdrawn;
  • an application email changes;
  • the official source publishes an amendment;
  • the recruitment status changes.
