How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Cape Town CBD really suit you before you apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months), two references from executives you worked for plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Cape Town CBD.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
