How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your PA or secretarial qualification, a CV naming the level of executives you supported plus a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months).
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Cape Town CBD; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.
