Get Shortlisted

Get Shortlisted is the guide that helps you get past that point and into the room. It walks you, step by step, through how government hiring actually works, and how to give your application its best chance, from the Z83 form through to a CV that earns the interview.
 
Inside the guide:
How public service recruitment works, stage by stage, so you can see where applications get stopped
The Z83 form is explained part by part, with annotated diagrams of each section and the 2021 version you must use
Which documents to submit, and when certified copies are actually needed
How to write and tailor a CV to match what the panel scores you against, the step most applicants skip
The common mistakes that get applications disqualified, and how to avoid them
A final checklist to run through before every submission
It's written for anyone applying for national or provincial government posts, whether it's your first application or your tenth.
