The Public Service Commission has noted with concern a message circulating on social media masquerading as a Commission announcement that youths who are seeking employment in Government should come to the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Arts, and Recreation today (Monday, 17 January 2022) where they will be given waiting list numbers and cards by the Commission.
In a statement, the Secretary of Public Service Commissions, Ambassador Jonathan Wutawunashe said the Commission has not organised any distribution of any waiting numbers, or cards for job-seekers at any Ministry location highlighting that they only communicate job vacancies in a professional way or through its social media platforms.
“The Commission advises that this is FAKE NEWS created out of mischief. Those who follow our posts will observe that consistently, the Commission conveys authentic communication in a standard manner. As a rule, where vacancies arise in the Public Service, job adverts are publicized through national newspapers, broadcasting services, our website, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook accounts.
“Such job adverts are on letterhead, bear an authentic PSC logo, are clearly branded, and display our various contact details at the bottom (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn accounts, Whatsapp number, email, and contact phone numbers),” he said.
He emphasised that it was important for readers to bear in mind that PSC will always advertise vacancies using standard procedures.
“Readers should distrust any information that does not conform to this standard procedure, and that advertise unusual procedures that depart from the Commission’s normal operations.”
Prospective job seekers, PSC stressed, who wish to be considered for future jobs, as and when they become available, can register on the PSC online job registration system, the Human Resources Management Information System, which is accessible on the Internet from any part of the country.
“Interested job seekers can register online by visiting the Public Service Commission (PSC) website, https://www.psc. gov.zw/, clicking on “human resources” on the top banner and selecting “recruitment and appointments”, then selecting “Click here to register.” This will lead the applicant through the registration process.
“Alternatively, applicants can go to https://zimeservices.pfms.gov.zw/irj/portal, then follow instructions to register. Once an applicant completes registration, he or she will receive a unique registration number.”
He further highlighted that the Public Service Commission values its clients, job-seekers, stakeholders, and workers, and will always use established official communication channels for engagement.
