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.
