Administration Clerk (Wages) (X2 Posts) Jobs: The South African Department of Employment & Labour

Alright, let me tackle this request. The user wants me to rewrite a job advertisement to make it more professional and natural, with a clean format. They specified using simple English and only plain HTML text starting with a tag, no extra styling or tags.

First, I’ll read through the original job post to understand the key details. It’s for two Administration Clerk positions in Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg. The salary is R228,321 per annum. Requirements include a Senior Certificate, 0-6 months experience, and some HR knowledge is a plus. Duties involve administering earnings, leaves, pension funds, etc.

The user wants it simplified, so I’ll break down the information into clear sections: Position, Salary, Location, Requirements, Duties, How to Apply, Closing Date, and Notes. I’ll use headings and bullet points for readability.

I need to ensure the language is straightforward but professional. For example, changing “REQUIREMENTS” to “What We Require” makes it more approachable. I’ll also rephrase some of the duties to sound more active, like “Manage employee earnings and deductions” instead of “Administer earnings.”

The original has a lot of notes about application procedures. I’ll condense these into a clear “How to Apply” section, mentioning the Z83 form and submission details. It’s important to keep the equity statement as it’s a legal requirement, but I’ll make it concise.

Since the user wants only a tag, I’ll structure everything inside that, using

for headings and

/
• for lists. I’ll avoid any markdown or additional styling.

  I’ll double-check that all essential information is included: the reference numbers, enquiry contacts, application addresses, and the closing date. Also, ensure the requirements and duties are accurately represented without losing any important details.

  Finally, I’ll review the rewritten version to confirm it’s clean, professional, and easy to read, meeting all the user’s specifications.
