Dear sir/madam
I applied for a post at scientific analysis and I was called for an interview last year in december, about three weeks back I was then called to come submit two sets of fingerprints and they said they will get back to me and I haven’t got any response since then. What I want to know is, are the fingerprints done by the people who got the job or everyone who was shortlisted?
Dear sir/madam
I applied and they responded within 4 weeks and sent a certificate of acceptance but it has been 3 weeks since they called me when i try to make a follow up no response am confused now because it is taking too long,pls help me.
I was short listed and went for interview on the 06 of December 2012 and never receive any correspondence till today. So my simply question will be is the selection processes for successfully candidates for all last year post completed?

Dear Sir/Madam
I applied for those forensic analyst post with the due date of 05 October 2012 so can you please share some light about how far are the selection processes?
Unfortunately not. You will need to contact the FSL directly.
Good day, this was unfortunately not the only place the jobs were advertise, it also appeared in once the star workplace I can’t remember the date as well as on the iol website, you just have to check into those resources at least once a week.
Very dissapointed, the vacancies closed on the 05 october 2012 and this is the only place online that i found it – it was not advertised on SAPS website!
How are we supposed to apply for vacancies if we dont know they being advertised!
