Tips for your first government job
Government internships usually run for 12 to 24 months and pay a monthly stipend. You normally may not have done a government internship before, and you must be unemployed.
Always apply with a completed, signed Z83 form and a short CV. Only attach certified copies if the advert asks for them.
