Success Guide
This Executive Personal Assistant role is a great fit if you have a few years of admin or PA experience and enjoy keeping a busy executive organised. To stand out, make sure your CV clearly shows your diary management, travel booking and event coordination experience. If you have worked with accounting or expense processes, highlight that too. Since the role supports a chairperson with both business and personal tasks, show that you are discreet, reliable and able to handle a strong personality. An employer will likely look for someone who is fluent in both Afrikaans and English, so mention your language skills. Also include your matric certificate and be ready to explain how you manage deadlines and multitask. Apply online through Job Mail, and if you have your own transport, say so in your application.
