Apply by email
Use this when the advert gives a recruitment email such as careers@... or recruitment@.... Follow every step below, from reading the advert to checking Sent. Do not send the same email to a personal Gmail or WhatsApp number that is not in the advert.
Read the advert and copy the official email
Open the vacancy on Jobconnect. Copy the recruitment email, the exact job title, and any reference number. That address goes only in To.
Prepare the PDF files first
On your phone or computer, save the files with your full name before you open Gmail. Open each file once to confirm it is not empty or password-locked. Use CV Builder and the Cover Letter Generator if you still need those files.
If the advert says “single attachment”, “one PDF”, or “combine all documents”, merge everything into one file. Keep this page order so HR can read it without opening many files:
- Signed cover letter
- CV
- Academic certificates (highest qualification first)
- Transcripts
- NIDA or birth certificate
- Any extra paper the advert named (licence, registration, referee letters)
Name it with your name and the job title. Keep it under 2 MB unless the advert allows more. Do not password-lock it.
If the advert lists separate files, or a portal with upload slots, do not merge. Then attach:
Open Gmail or Mail
On a computer, open mail.google.com and sign in. On a phone, open the Gmail or Mail app.
Click Compose
On the left, click the blue Compose button. A New message box opens. On a phone, tap the Compose pencil.
Type the recipient in To
Click To and paste the email from the advert. Leave Cc empty unless the advert names a second address. The example below is not a real inbox.
Type the Subject
Click Subject. Use the job title and your full name. Add the reference number if the advert has one.
YAH: MAOMBI YA NAFASI YA DEREVA — JUMA HAMISI — REF VAC/2026/08
Attach the PDF files
At the bottom of New message, click the paperclip. Attach the one combined PDF if the advert asked for a single file. Otherwise attach the separate PDFs from step 2. On a phone, tap Attach, then Files or Drive.
- 1Click the paperclip once. Do not take a photo of the documents unless the advert asks for that.
- 2Select the combined PDF, or every required separate PDF. Wait until each file name appears under the message.
- 3If Gmail says the file is too large, compress it or send only what the advert listed.
Write the short message
Click the empty area under Subject. Paste this text, then change the job title, name, phone, and town.

Check once, then click Send
Confirm To, Subject, the attachment (one combined PDF or the separate files), and your phone number. Then click the blue Send button. Do not pay anyone.
Open Sent and keep a copy
On the left, click Sent. Open the same email and check the attachments are still there. Screenshot it on your phone. That is your proof you applied.
Apply on Ajira Portal (PSRS / Utumishi)
Public service jobs go through portal.ajira.go.tz. Emails sent instead of the portal are usually ignored.
- 1Open the official view-advert page from Jobconnect or Ajira. Check the address bar says portal.ajira.go.tz.
- 2Click Apply Now only after your profile and certified PDFs are complete.
- 3Keep the slip or reference number. That is your proof, not an email you sent.
Names as on NIDA, Form IV/VI, diploma or degree, work history, and referees.
Certificates, transcripts, NIDA or birth certificate. Each file under 2 MB. Result slips are not enough.
Age, education, and professional registration (NBAA, ERB, MCT, and others) before you click Apply.
Keep the application reference number. Open Application Guider if you want a document checklist.
Use Jobconnect, then apply on the official channel
Open the vacancy, read the requirements, then use Application Instructions or Apply Here. That button sends you to the employer email, Ajira, or careers page — not to a payment form.
