Job Specific Questions

The Job Specific Questions will be available once you have logged into to our online recruitment portal. Answers to these questions form the basis of our shortlisting process. When answering the Job Specific Questions, it is important that you provide real-life examples as evidence to demonstrate the skills, experience and knowledge that is relevant to the position you are applying for.
