VACANCIES FOR FEMALE OFFICE ASSISTANTS IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

Vacancies are most urgent in Wellington, Hamilton. Gisborne. Rotorua, Palmerston North, Masterton and Invercargill. but applications for other centres will also be welcomed. Remuneration will be according to age, qualifications and experience. Salary for suitable appointees will probably commence at £145 or £165 per annum in special cases. Where an employee is dependent on her own earnings a cost of living allowance of £l3 per annum is paid if over eighteen years of age. Salaries are reviewed annually, and further increments would depend on the increasing efficiency of the employee and the valuation of the duties performed. Application should be made on P.S.C. Form 17A, obtainable at Post Offices. Previous clerical experience should be set out clearly on the application form, and copies of testimonials should be attached. Any shorthand-typing qualifications should also be indicated. Special consideration would be given to any applicants who have had experience in accounts work. If applicants are within calling distance of the Public Service Commissioner's Liaison Officer, Mr A. A. Whitaker, Registrar of Supreme Court, Masterton, it is desired that the application form be completed and handed to this officer for forwarding to Wellington. Applicants should indicate clearly the town in which they are willing to accept employment. It would be necessary for applicants to make their own boarding arrangements in such towns. Actual and reasonable travelling expenses incurred in taking up duty would be refunded provided the appointee remains in the Public Service for at least three months—SECRETARY, Public Service Commissioner.
