Important notes to applicants from inside- and outside the Public Service
The “Application for Employment”-form (new format) is available at all
Offices/Ministries/Agencies. Please note that, in cases where more than one position with
the same designation is advertised, applicants cannot complete one “Application for
Employment”-form for all positions, but a separate application for each position.
“Application for Employment”-forms should be properly completed and be
accompanied by certified copies of the applicant’s highest qualifications and
certificates of service from previous employers. The required certificates of service should
reflect very clearly the type of experience/field in which experience was gained in each
position at such previous employer(s), your exact date of appointment and termination
of service and whether such experience was gained on managerial level or not. Please
keep in mind that, without service certificates, the experience an applicant claims to
have cannot be confirmed which will cause such an applicant not to meet the
advertised requirement as far as “proven appropriate experience” is concerned. Failure
to properly complete all items on the “Application for Employment”-form and not
attaching the necessary/required documents to the application form will disqualify the
application. Previous employers might be called at random to confirm the field in/level
on which specific indicated experience was obtained.
Certified copies of evaluation certificates in respect of foreign qualifications (obtainable
from the Namibia Qualifications Authority) should also be attached. The mentioned
certified copy of the evaluation certificate from the Namibia Qualifications Authority
should be available at the time of shortlisting. Failure to adhere to this will automatically
disqualify the application. (Qualifications obtained from UNAM, NUST/PoN and IUM are
excluded from this requirement.)
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, and no documents will be returned to
unsuccessful applicants.
Applications received after the closing date will not be accepted.
