Separate the role from the number of posts
One advertised role may have several positions. Ten posts for the same teaching role are not ten different job descriptions. Check whether the places are divided between locations, subjects or grades, and use the correct reference when applying.
Find the essential requirements
Read the education, experience, registration and licence requirements together. Do not assume that a job called Assistant is entry level. Check any citizenship, residency or age conditions in the original advert. Zanzibar vacancies can include specific eligibility conditions that should not be inferred from the location alone.
Read the general conditions
PDF adverts often put application documents and restrictions at the end, after all the role descriptions. Read those pages too. Check whether certificates, referees or a particular application system are required. Follow the instructions for your specific advert rather than an older advert from the same employer.
Check the deadline and application route
Distinguish the closing date from the publication date. If an exact closing time is not stated, do not assume applications remain open until midnight. Open the official source before applying and confirm that the application route is still available. Work.tz links to employers and original adverts; it does not receive your application.
Keep the evidence
Save the original advert, role reference and submitted documents. After applying, keep the acknowledgement or application number. If information conflicts between a summary and the source, check directly with the employer. A salary not published by the employer remains unknown.
