What worked for me is I got in through those matriculant internships, luckily the ASD of the department I was in was not into favouritism but hard work. 8 months later I applied for clerical position that was in my department and got it, a year later my supervisor who was the state accountant left and no one wanted to stay after work to authorise payments I volunteered and the ASD taught me how to do it. When the post became available I applied and because a manager of people who had been there for plus 10 years. In everything if you get an opportunity don’t follow the ones who complain do your best and you’ll go forward
This is so true, the ones that complain don’t get anywhere. Hard work and putting yourself out there helps in career progression.
I'm a student, but currently studying office Administration. After my course I want to do Public administration... I think I heard you saying you do Pub Admin.... how will you recommend it.... please specify more
I have been applying for SA jobs for more than 10 years. Updated my CV more than 10 times thought it was the problem. All I get is people said I need to pay them R15k to get the job. These guys from government called me more 5 times to say I need to pay them in order to get the job. The entire system is corrupted based on my experience.
Hey Jenn… I remember watching this video at the beginning of the year after graduating and aspiring to get a government internship for the year 2023.
This is definitely one of the I’d watch over and over to rectify and try and follow these steps to help me prepare and lend that internship.
I’ve now secured an internship at one the government departments I’ve been aspiring to be in and all thanks to God and you Jenn for these videos.
I’m now preparing to apply for an entry level/ permanent position and I’ll definitely watch these videos to refresh and prepare for what God has for me in 2024.
I’d like to advice anyone to watch this ladies’ series on landing a Gov Position and interview prep series. I def recommend.
❤️❤️
I will come and edit this comment once I’ve got my permanent position in 2024😂
Congratulations sis’ 🥰🙌🏿💐 you will get that entry level, continue applying and you will lend that permanent position 🙌🏿
Jenn, you are blessed and a blessing to us, I can listen to you all day. Thank you for sharing😘👌👍
🥰☺️thank you so much.
Thank you so much Jennifer when you desperate for employment you apply for anything, it's so draining i don't wanna lie but I get what you saying
The more you get drained the further you get from landing even an interview, I saw this with me as well.
I feel you 😢it has been over a year now
Thank you so much
I'm a first year student studying Bachelor of Administration and I was being discouraged in studying it as people would say the only way to get into the public sector is if you have connections but your video here has just encouraged me again so thank you so much mam
Trust me those people were just lying to you. Please focus on studying and don’t listen to nay sayers, they will distract you.
Thank you so much, Jennifer, you were so helpful and gave so much great extensive information, will definitely implement all the tips.
🤗☺️so happy to hear the video is helpful, wishing you all the best.
Loved this video! Can't wait for the other parts as well

Thanx a lot Jenn .This video is very informative .I have been struggling to get an internship since January this year and I now know and see my mistakes and willing to practice what you have shared here in this video❤️
I love your positive attitude, keep applying and working on your CV. Doors will open.
It's like you got in to my heart because this is exactly what I am currently going through in terms of applying for government jobs and its not easy but finding your video today I am so hopeful
Hi! Sis, please don’t give up. Keep going a door will open.
Thank you very much. Very informative. I learnt a lot.biggest lesson is that of quality over quantity. Applying for everything being all over the place is draining and will end up destroying one's confidence to apply for jobs be it public or private sector.
Thank you again sisters
So true, it does something to one’s confidence to be applying for so many jobs but get called no where. Having focus helps a lot.
You are amazing and thanks for your teachings
Thank you 💐

Roomza
Thank you 😊💐
I am so happy I bumped in to your useful and encouraging video sis😍 I am currently doing my second year in BA Public Management and Governance, and I would like to work in the Public sector.
You will, your qualification is made for public sector. Focus on your studies and try to be involved at your university anything that will help to build your skills do it. This will help when you are applying for internships.
I am so happy I gound your channel.
Thats great 😊 thank you Zola.
at as a student i got a life changing information from this vid
Iam glad I found your channel ❤
Thank you for joining us 💐💐
Government should normalise to have email address instead going far from your town to apply
They honestly should, some departments are coming to the party but some are still backwards.
We have reached 2.5k subscribers... congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 💃💃💃💃💃💃🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Yesss we did 💃🏾💃🏾❤️🥰 thank you.
Thank you so much for this
You are welcome sis 💐
my sister we appreciate the knowledge
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Interesting video Jennifer ♥Applying for government posts can be draining sometimes. We're being told to not use our degrees/ diplomas, we will use them to apply once we're within the department. Also hearing that people want bribes and sexual advances is discouraging...
I got jobs at 2 different departments a few years back, I had handed my CV at the department of labour
Please use all your qualifications when applying, don’t ever listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. There is no such thing as being overqualified for a job. Focus on putting yourself out there those departments who see your value will open their doors.
@@JennNxumalo thank you. I'm so applying for posts outside my province. Does my address affect my chances of being employed?
New sabbie, thank you for this content
Yeyyyy, welcome to the family 💐❤️I hope you enjoy it here.
Thank you for this
My pleasure!💐💐
Thank you so much sisi for this information, I’m 21y/o just finished my Bachelor of administration degree and hey I’ve been so stressed about postgrad life lately 😭I can’t even be happy about my graduation because of stress njhe.
Eish I remember the stress of Post Grad, I felt the same way couldn’t wait to finish and did not care about graduation anymore bcs of the stress. You made a good decision by doing post grad.

Hei Jen thanks for Tips can you please also talk about how to correctly fill out Z83 😊
I will try my best to film it and add it to this series.
It will be much appreciated ❤️
I remember my friend went for an interview and was shocked when people had interview questions with answers
Some people ask around for possible questions when they are called for an interview, but it does not guarantee anything because questions can be different because they are based on the post and are decided on the day if the interview so no one can really know what the question will be before the interview including the panel members.
The questions that people normally have prepared are just possible questions based on the post and they get them from people who are doing a similar job, but it guarantees nothing.
Hi sis Nice video❤. i'm glad you touched on the fact that you should choose on the department you'd like to work for... i am currently doing my N6 in HR in college
I Think i don't want to work for departments such health, labour and home affairs is it normal if you want a private company or just work for the Municipality, or hospitals as I'm semi introvert and don't want to be under a lot of pressure
Thank you so much, you helped me a lot.
I am still a first-year student in public management, am just interested in you since you know how to work for the government. I wanted to ask, do you think volunteering where I can is effective, like "creating skills or experience"?
You are at the right stage of setting yourself for success. Yes Yes Yes, if you can volunteer anywhere do so, when opportunities come up at your university for student jobs take them, it does not have to be relevant to your qualification, so long as you are exposing yourself to work opportunities that will take you further in future.
Hi Jen, thank you for this.
I have equal experience in health and Admin.. which one of those departments that you listed would I focus on with my health care CV??
You can work in any department with your experience, it’s how you structure your work experience that counts.
I’ve been doing it wrong.. thank you 😊
Happy to help!
Hi Jess, thank you so much for this content its very helpful what would your advice be for someone who has a lot of general admin experience in various industries but has a diploma in HR and has minimum experience in the field?
It’s all about how you write your CV, you must make sure you highlight the important duties you did in your previous job that make you a good candidate. Look for jobs that do not emphasise on relevant work experience to the qualification or to HR.
Hi Jen
Do you think people that have connections are more likely to be considered than those who do not have connections in the puplic sector, coz when I think of this it kinder like discourages me to send out my applications sometimes.so is it true ukuthi it's all about who you know?
As far as I heard in Municipal level yes this may be true. But everyone I know whom I work with did not know have any connections to get into the public sector especially in National departments.
It is not practical to get in based on connections in National departments because of the recruitment processes. Don’t be discouraged to apply because of street talk that is not true.
Hi Jenn! Lovely content sisi, kaaade siyidinga into enjena. Siyabonga maZwide❤ Question: how do I find out what units there are in a particular government department?
You made an example that Administration is a core function, so you will find it everywhere. What sources can I use to find out what *other* functions there are? Please help if you can.
Hi! Nomzamo, in departments this is how it’s broken down I’ll start from the top to the bottom, Branches within branches there are Chief Directorates and within chief directorate you find Directorates. The function of each Branch is dependent on what that department deals with. There are common branches in all departments like Corporate Services and Finance here you find HR and Supply Chain, Salaries, and so on. The to understand each department is by going to their website it will have information on each Branch. Also in government as much as we all administrators but it differs with our professions, there are people with Financial background working in Finance, Supply Chain working procurement, Law working in Legal, there are social sciences people, sport science people, economical scientists, strategists and so on. Basically you find every profession in government.
@@JennNxumalo Thank you so much, sis wami. I will do more research on the government websites. Keep on keeping on! I love and appreciate this content.
On the experience section, on my first year they gave us a task/Assignment on how to volunteer for 1 day at the shops to gain experience and be able to answer questions based on the assignment that we were given...so is it okay to write it down on my CV?
In Primary I was selected as a Prefect I was in Grade 7 and to be able to watch grade 3 kids when the teacher was absent or in a meeting. The kids liked me very much much as their class prefect can I add that too.
In Grade 10 I was selected as a classrep and unfortunately I didn't like it because I was not well confident enough and they disrespected me but I did it until the end of the year. Should I write that down too in my C.V ????
Lets say a post needs leadership skills, then you can use that period of your life as an example to show that you have led.
For your assignment if the job needs report writing skills then you can use that part of having to volunteer and that after you wrote a report, this will go a long way if you did well on the assignment.
If I may ask are you currently applying for experiential training (internships) or you have passed this stage?
Hi I am busy applying on gpg professional centre. And I keep getting this message that says please declare application and select criteria answers. What can I do?
Its been over 5 years since I used the platform, I wouldn’t know how to help. But keep trying and call them if it’s not working. Also try another browser.
Hey Sis what about TVET collages students that has completed their theory in Public management and they are looking for a place to complete their practical any tips?😢
It’s the same as looking for an internship, some departments have a program called WILL this is for TVET students they are called student interns.
Its hard to stay positive when looking for a job in the government sector
I totally understand, just don’t stop applying keep putting in those applications.
Thank you so much Jennifer,
But please help im working as a security officer at the department of justice ⚖
So i have MATRIC,COMPUTER CERTIFICATE AND SECURITY and i want to apply for an ADMINISTRATION CLERK post and most of them it says no experience needed and i dont have experience what to do for me to be shortlisted? because i keep on applying most of the time,
Please give me an advice.
Hi! Mfundo, how old are you? I would advise you to get in through internship because as much as the post says no experience, the people that normally get shortlisted are people with experience mostly someone with atleast 1yr experience.
However this is not to say do not apply continue because you may never know when it’s your job. Having an admin certification would help as well.
But honestly the job market has been crazy I know a lot of people with degrees in Public Admin and experience but they are struggling to get jobs, its hard these days but don’t give up.
hi Sisi
Thank you I have a question the issue of experience, how come those companies need experience, how can we get expiraice because we done our qulification in 2022
Hi! In a perfect world you are supposed to do an internship or graduate program after your qualification to gain experience in your field. But that is not the reality for many graduates because of unemployment.
As a graduate focus on applying for entry level positions.
Hi I'd like to ask, what is the difference between People Management diploma and HR and if there is a difference can you still apply for HR position with a People Management Diploma?
It’s the same thing just different wording, yes you can apply with it.
Where have you been all my life? Can you help on how to fill a Z83 form correctly.. Please.. 🥺
Hi! Tshidiso, 😂😅I have been here. On the video of how to write a CV I speak about filling a Z83 form as well. I think that will help.
I am a third-year student doing BA in Public Governance with Public Administration and Politics. So I want to ask about what is the possibility of getting a job with a degree only not with Honours because a lot of people said to me I must do an Honour so that I can get a job. I'm really confused about what I must do after a degree.
You don’t need honours to get a job, but it does help to stand out a bit, but it doesn’t guarantee getting employment. You can get a job with your degree, just build on your skills while you are studying.
Hi sisi, when applying for government jobs does it matter where you obtain your degree? College or university?
No it does not matter, so long as it’s a valid qualification in terms of being accredited. But this is something they check if you passed the interview and they do it for all qualifications public or private university.
Thanks for the video. Can I apply while I'm pregnant?
Yes definitely.
Hi Jen, thanks for this helpful video.
I'm struggling with the DPSA website, how do I view the latest vacanies? It just shows me things that have long reached their closing date.
The circulars for vacancies are numbered, observe the number and the posting date when you open it. Google DPSA vacancies on the right it shows circular numbers.
@@JennNxumalo Thanks sisi.
If you matched the requirements and filled the z83 correctly and not to be called for interview,later you found out that some who did not meet the requirement got to the interview and got the job, how do i launch a complain and where.
That is a complicated one, do call the department and find out.
@@JennNxumalo 🥺
If a job requires you to have a degree in something but you have a diploma, does it matter when you apply?
Yes it does when they are shortlisting, there is a high chance you will not be considered.
What are your academic qualifications Jennifer??
My highest qualification is Masters in Administration.
Please help me set up my C.V.?
Hi! Please send me an email at naturalzayne@gmail.com
A have business management diploma pls help to specify jobs in government i qualified for
Look at the modules or subjects you did, and find jobs that require people who did those qualifications even if you didn’t do it as a qualification but you did it as a module. That is more important.
@@JennNxumalo oky tnx all module or the last ones
Hi sis i would like to ask, even if you are looking for internship i must use DPSA. THANK YOU
Yes, all National and Provincial departments advertise on DPSA also its the most reliable website for government jobs.
Thank you
Am struggling to apply online
You should call the department you are trying to apply to online, contact details are normally on the advert.
Do you know how to be a diplomat,I've been searching and there's no one that is really helping?😭
The Department of International Relations is the best department to contact for such information. They deal with Diplomats
Hi. Help me
Good morning madam am looking for a job in sa
Wishing you all the best in your applications 🙏🏾
which department u working for?
I can’t reveal that here for privacy reasons.
But we know you people throw away people's CVs and bring in your relatives
Please don’t count me there, I don’t work in HR and I won’t speak for them because I don’t know the shenanigans that happen there. Not everyone who works in government is corrupt or works in HR there are different sections that deal with different things and I happen to not work in HR.
Guys let’s apply to go teach in China
Because we will qualify 2050 mntakabawo 😭😭😭😭
Great video!
It’s honestly sad that we have to seek opportunities outside of our own country. At the end of the day we go where there are opportunities.
Thank you so much for this information Sis❤ I’m currently doing my second year in Public Management but I got discouraged when people said this is a useless qualification now I do have hope that things will work out at the end🫂❤️
Please do not listen to the negative people. Every Friday government is advertising, they would not do that if your qualification was useless.😊💐
