Most clerical jobs require verification of an applicant's ability to type at the required minimum speed given in the recruitment flyer. A certificate verifying your typing speed (done within 6 months of the job application deadline) is to be submitted along with your job application.
The following is to be included on the typing certificate:
- applicant name
- date of the typing test
- duration of test (5 minute minimum)
- gross number of words typed per minute
- number of errors
- where test taken - organization or agency name and phone number
- signature of person who adminstered the test
Typing certificates will be accepted only from an organizaton or business that routinely provides them - like an accredited business college or other educational institution, a public agency or professional service.
