When submitting the application form, applicants should ensure that the certified documents attached are no older than 3 months. Applicants should note that no faxed or emailed applications will be considered.
Unfortunately, no late applications will be considered or accepted. Therefore, it is very important that applications are submitted in a timely fashion.
All shortlisted candidates will be contacted to have their fingerprint screening and security clearance done. Short-listed candidates will also be expected to undergo personal interviews.
Only short-listed candidates will be contacted. Those who have not been contacted two months after the closing date are unfortunately unsuccessful.
