Interview
Extremely unprofessional, no form of coordination from the hr. Once you get to the interview ..you wait hours for a manager.
Their main concern is are you willing to work for r5800 a pm ?
Like seriously even a stipend pays R7500!
This place is completely exploitive ..how does one even survive with such a low salary. And the hr specified it's a very crucial job to work for the embassies .
Like seriously do important work and earn r5800 .. dream on !
