I applied and was contacted 3 months later to come for an official interview. It was a panel interview consisting of 3 HR officers. It was during covid so regulations had to be followed. Each officer got to ask questions. A few weeks later I was called to come to the offices with my certified documents and I signed my contract the same day.

It was a very straightforward and easy process. They asked basic admin and business support questions, like how to do record management, about the Batho Pele principles, and the elected mayor's manifesto. They also asked about key strengths for the new position, a bit about myself, and what the strategy plan for 2030 is.
