How To Apply For Teaching Assistant Jobs

The Department of Basic Education recently conducted a hiring spree, hiring young, unemployed, and qualified people to become education and school assistants(Teaching assistant jobs). The process resulted in nearly 300,000 unemployed youth finding lucrative work at government schools.

Who Can Apply For a Teaching Assistant Job?

The purpose of the Department of Teaching’s assistant job drive is to hire unemployed youth. For this reason, only those between 18 and 35 years of age can apply. Furthermore, applicants will have to have a National Senior Certificate (Matric) and not be receiving any government grant or assistance or in university, college, or currently receiving other training.

If you meet these criteria and are placed at a school, you will be required to provide additional information to substantiate your qualifications and prove that you are a good candidate for the job. Then, once that information is received, you’ll be employed by the school for five months, where you’ll have the opportunity to receive training that can lead to opportunities in the future.

What Areas Can You Expect to Receive Training On?

While you’re in the five-month program, you will be assigned a position where you’ll receive training on. These are the available positions according to the DBE:

ICT Support

Your responsibilities may include troubleshooting IT issues and uploading educational content on learners’ and teachers’ devices, among other IT-related duties.

Child and Youth Care Work

If you’re hired as a child and youth care worker, your function will be to provide psychosocial support to learners.

Reading Champions

Your job as a reading champion is to improve reading and literacy rates among learners.

Infrastructure Maintenance

Those employed in infrastructure maintenance will become handymen at schools and be provided with training to ensure they provide good quality work.

Sports and Enrichment Agents

Your job will be to assist schools with sports and cultural activities. You will have to be fit and interested in sports.

Step by Step Guide to Apply for Teaching Assistant Jobs

If you meet the necessary criteria, you will only be able to apply online for a job as no walk-in applications will be processed.

From there, the system will connect you to a school that needs a teaching assistant job.

Besides, because the government plans to make this an annual opportunity, you can follow the three steps outlined below for any future phases for education assistant applications.

Step 1: Visit SAYouth.mobi

To get access to the teaching assistant jobs, you will need to visit SAYouth.mobi as it forms part of the Presidential Youth Employment Initiative to enable the youth to find jobs.

The website is free to access from Rain, Vodacom, Cell C, MTN, and Telkom, which means you don’t need data to apply.

Step 2: Register For An Account

If you have never registered for SAYouth before, you will need to register for an account. 

Fill in your ID number, name, surname, and cell phone number. You can also fill in your Whatsapp number and email address if you have one.

Then you’ll be asked a series of questions that shouldn’t take more than five minutes to complete. Answering these questions honestly is critical as they will determine the opportunities you have access to and where those opportunities are located.

Step 3: Apply for Available Jobs

When you’re on the website, you will be redirected to the opportunities that match your profile. This will include the teaching Assistant and General Assistant jobs but can also include other opportunities. You can start applying for these jobs or improve your profile by uploading a CV or adding other qualifications to your profile.

What Happens if You Are Shortlisted for a Teaching Assistant Job?

Once you’ve applied for the Teaching Assistant Job, the Department of Education encourages you to keep your phone with you until the process is over. The reason for this is that you may receive an SMS notifying you that you have been shortlisted. 

And if you are shortlisted, you have a short window to provide supporting documents to ensure that you get the job. So, if you get an SMS or phone call that you have been shortlisted, be sure you send through the following supporting documents.

Upload Your CV

To ensure you have the skills necessary to work in one of the available roles, the DBE requires that you provide a CV. If you don’t have much work experience, your CV can include sections detailing your core competencies, systems you’re familiar with, and soft skills like being self-motivated, hard-working, willing to learn, etc.

Provide Written Testimonials

The Department of Basic Education also requires that candidates provide testimonials (references) from reputable sources. This testimonial could be a letter of recommendation from a former school teacher or principal, a church leader or a chief. 

Submit a Police Clearance Certificate

It’s integral that you submit a police clearance certificate to secure the job, as the Department wants to ensure that candidates don’t pose a threat to the school or learners. 

To get a Police Clearance Certificate, you will need to visit your local SAPS, get your fingerprints taken and complete an application form. You will also need to pay a R150 fee. From there, your application form will be sent to the SAPS headquarters in Pretoria, and your Police Clearance Certificate will be mailed to the SAPS where you applied.

Get an Affidavit to Show You Don’t Have A Criminal Record

It can take a few weeks to get a police clearance certificate, so while you wait to receive it, visit your local police station and request an affidavit stating you don’t have a criminal record. To expedite the process, you can request an affidavit while you’re getting your fingerprints taken for the PCC. The Department of Basic Education should accept the affidavit, but you can explain that it would take you a few weeks to get the PCC, which is why you are submitting an affidavit as a placeholder.

Submit a Certified Copy of your Matric Certificate and ID

The final documents you need to submit are certified copies of your matric certificate and ID. 

After you have submitted these documents, you may be contacted for an in-person – or telephonic – interview. The purpose of these interviews is to ensure you’re a good fit for the school. 

Can I Choose The School I Apply To?

To ensure every applicant has the opportunity to work in their community, the school you are shortlisted to will be based on your location and skills. This means you’re unable to select the school where you want to work. Instead, the DBE will find schools that require your skills.

How To Make a Great Impression in a Job Interview: Tips

How To Make a Great Impression in a Job Interview: Tips

Congratulations! Your job interview is set up. It's time to get ready for your interview so you can leave the hiring manager with a good impression of you and a feeling of confidence in your application.

In this post, we give a general overview of how to succeed in an interview along with a thorough explanation of each item for prior to, on the day of, and following the interview.

Before the interview

In the days before your job interview, set aside time to do the following:

1. Research the interviewers and the firm

You may enter your interview with confidence if you are aware of the important facts regarding the organization you are interviewing with. You may gain a thorough grasp of the company's objectives and how your expertise makes you a fantastic fit by consulting the company's website, social media posts, and recent press releases.

2. Rehearse your interview responses

A popular interview question is, "Tell me about yourself and why you are interested in this position with our company." Prepare your response. Your elevator pitch should succinctly describe who you are and the value you will offer to the organization and the position.

3. Go over the job description again

You might wish to print it out and start highlighting the qualifications the employer is seeking. Consider instances from your previous and ongoing work that fit these specifications.

4. Apply the STAR technique

Use the STAR approach to present tales with a clear Situation, Task, Action, and Result in case you are asked about instances in the past when you applied a certain ability.

5. Practice responding to inquiries with a partner.

Practicing your responses aloud is a really efficient approach to become ready. Speak them aloud to yourself or ask a friend to assist you go over typical inquiries and your responses. As you become more accustomed to saying the words, you'll notice that your confidence grows.

6. Make a reference list.

Before or after your interview, your interviewers might ask for a list of references from you. You may move on to the next phase in the hiring process more swiftly if you have a reference list prepared in advance.

7. Have samples of your work available.

You'll probably be questioned about particular work you've done related to the role during the interview. After reading the job description, consider the projects you've completed for clubs, organizations, or as a volunteer to demonstrate that you have the necessary expertise and skills.

8. Get ready with insightful interview questions.

Interviews are two-way conversations. Employers anticipate questions from you because they want to know that you are considering the position seriously. You might wish to think about posing the following queries to your interviewers:

•Can you describe some of the daily duties associated with this position?

•What traits would someone have that would make them successful in this position, in your opinion?

•What metrics would be used to evaluate my performance if I were in this position? How frequently?

•Which departments collaborate frequently with this team?

•How do these divisions generally work together?

•How does that procedure appear?

•What difficulties do you now have in your position?

Interview day

After you’ve spent time preparing, you can be successful on interview day by practicing these tips:

9. The night before the interview, decide on your outfit.

Before the interview, if you speak with a recruiter, you can inquire about the workplace dress code and make your wardrobe selection based on that information. If no one is around to ask, investigate the business to find out what's proper.

10. Bring a notebook, a pen, and copies of your résumé.

In case there are numerous interviewers, bring at least five printed copies of your CV on white paper. On your copy, draw attention to particular successes that you can quickly refer to and discuss. For taking notes, bring a pen and a small notebook. But don't use your smartphone or any other technological device to take notes. Make notes so you can later use them as references in your follow-up thank-you notes.

11. Aim to arrive ten to fifteen minutes early

Plan your journey to the interview site in advance to ensure a timely arrival. Before your interview, you could want to do a practice interview. Plan a fallback route if you're using public transportation in case of delays or closures.

12. Leave a lasting impression.

Make sure your nails are neat and clean, shine your shoes, and inspect your clothing for holes, stains, pet hair, and loose threads. And don't forget to grin.

13. Show respect to everyone you come into contact with, including drivers, parking lot attendants, security guards, and front desk staff. Everyone you don't know should be treated as if they were the recruiting manager. Your prospective employer might ask them for input even if they aren't.

14. Convince them of your sincerity and optimism.

Being sincere can make it easier for interviewers to connect with you. Maintaining a positive attitude throughout the interview may keep it fun and productive.

15. Answer the questions posed honestly.

Although it could be tempting to exaggerate your abilities and achievements, interviewers find honesty to be admirable and refreshing. Concentrate on your strongest suit and the reasons why your experience makes you the best candidate for the job.

16. Connect responses to your qualifications and achievements.

When responding to any interview question, make sure to connect your background to the position by giving specific examples of problems you've solved and outcomes you've gotten in the past. Take every chance to discuss the demands outlined in the job description.

17. Be succinct and direct in your responses.

Keep in mind that you only have a finite amount of time with each interviewer. You can maintain attention by practicing your responses beforehand.

18. Avoid criticizing prior employers.

Employers look for those who can solve problems in challenging circumstances. If you're feeling demoralized by your current position, think on the learnings you've made and the things you want to do next.

After the interview

When your job interview is over, give yourself the best chances of moving forward by doing the following:

19. Enquire about following up.

Asking your interviewer, the hiring manager, or the recruiter about what to expect next after the interview is fine. The findings of your interview and any further requirements, such as an assignment, reference list, or another interview, will likely be included in a follow-up email in this case.

20. After the interview, send a letter of appreciation.

If the interview is in person, request the business cards of everyone you speak with so you may send each person a unique thank-you email afterward. Send your follow-up emails the same day if your interview was in the morning. The following morning is acceptable if you have an afternoon interview.
