- Read the Instructions Carefully
- Before filling out the form, thoroughly review the instructions provided on the first page. Note that the form must be completed in BLOCK letters and can be submitted either physically to the County Public Service Board (P.O. Box 49, 90300 Makueni, Kenya) or online via www.makuenipsb.go.ke or www.makueni.go.ke.
- Ensure you are applying for the correct vacancy by referencing the Vacancy/Post and Advert No. as listed in the job advertisement.
- Gather Required Information and Documents
- Prepare all necessary details, including personal information, academic certificates, professional memberships, employment history, and referee contacts, before starting. This will streamline the process and ensure accuracy.
- Have digital or physical copies of your ID, PIN certificate, academic transcripts, and any disability registration documents (if applicable) ready for submission.
- Complete All Relevant Sections
- The form specifies that you should complete all sections “as appropriate.” However, aim to provide as much relevant information as possible, even if a section seems optional, to demonstrate thoroughness.
- Avoid leaving blanks unless the section explicitly does not apply to you (e.g., public service employment details for non-public sector applicants).
- Use BLOCK Letters
- Write clearly in capital letters to ensure legibility, especially for the physical form. If applying online, ensure your typed entries are accurate and free of typos.
- Tailor Your Application to the Job
- Review the job description and requirements for the specific vacancy. Customize your responses, particularly in Sections 11 and 12, to highlight skills, experiences, and achievements that align with the role.
- Double-Check for Accuracy
- Verify all dates, numbers (e.g., ID, PIN, phone numbers), and spellings. Errors can create a negative impression or lead to disqualification.
- Ensure consistency between the form and any attached documents, such as your CV or cover letter.
- Adhere to Submission Guidelines
- If submitting physically, ensure the application reaches the specified address by the deadline. Use reliable courier services or hand-delivery if possible.
- For online applications, confirm that all uploaded files are in the correct format (e.g., PDF) and within any size limits specified on the website.
