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

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

Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
