Here is an elaborated and longer version of the original passage:
The application process for this position is very thorough and detailed. Applicants must complete the new Z83 form in full, ensuring that all required fields are filled out accurately and completely. Failure to do so will result in the application not being considered for the role. It is crucial that applicants clearly indicate the reference number of the position they are applying for on the Z83 form.
In addition to the completed and signed Z83 form, applicants must also submit a detailed Curriculum Vitae. This CV should provide a comprehensive overview of the applicant’s work experience, skills, and qualifications. While the certified copies of the applicant’s Identity Document, Senior Certificate, and highest required qualifications will only be requested from shortlisted candidates prior to the interview, it is important for applicants to have these documents readily available.
The recruitment process will be highly competitive, as the Government Printing Works only intends to employ a limited number of graduates upon completion of the program. Applicants should be aware that the selection process will be rigorous, with only the most qualified and suitable candidates being invited for interviews.
It is worth noting that the Government Printing Works is under no obligation to employ all of the graduates who complete the program. The organization will carefully evaluate each applicant’s qualifications, experience, and fit for the available positions. Successful candidates will be those who demonstrate the necessary skills, knowledge, and potential to contribute to the organization’s goals and objectives.
Applicants who have not been contacted within six months of the closing date should assume that their application was unsuccessful. The Government Printing Works will only communicate directly with the shortlisted candidates, as the organization must manage the high volume of applications it is likely to receive.
