• IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES
• Candidates should carefully follow the official PSRS instructions.
• The notice requires candidates to carry an acceptable identification document and their original certificates, including relevant academic qualifications. Testimonials, provisional results, statements of results and Form IV/Form VI result slips are specifically stated as unacceptable for proceeding with the interview. Candidates in professions requiring registration must also bring original professional registration certificates and practising licences.
• Candidates are also responsible for their own food, transport and accommodation and are instructed to attend in appropriate, presentable clothing.
• Those whose qualifications were obtained outside Tanzania should ensure the certificates have been verified by the appropriate authority, such as TCU, NACTVET or NECTA, where applicable.
• CHECK YOUR AJIRA PORTAL ACCOUNT
• Every shortlisted candidate should log into their Ajira Portal account and copy their interview number.
• For online screening interviews, candidates should remember the email address and password they use for Ajira Portal. Candidates who do not find their names in the announcement are advised to check their Ajira Portal accounts for the reason they were not shortlisted. file_6ac3e9c21e0bf
