3. Update your CV to reflect all your HR experience, especially any supervisory roles. Be specific about your responsibilities and the systems you have worked on.

TIPS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION
• Government HR roles are highly competitive. Make your CV stand out by listing the specific HR systems you have used, such as PERSAL, and the volumes of staff you have managed.
• Your supervisory experience must be clearly described — panel members will look for evidence that you have actually led people, not just worked alongside them.
• Knowledge of the Public Service Act and Public Service Regulations is essential. If you have attended any relevant training courses, list them in your CV.
• Mmabatho is in the North West province — if you are applying from another province, be clear in your CV that you are available to relocate immediately.
• Prepare for a practical assessment if shortlisted. HR knowledge, policy interpretation and report writing are likely to be tested.
