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: two references from executives you worked for, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) 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 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Boksburg; 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.
Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
