Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pretoria West really suit you before you apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: two references from executives you worked for plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

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