It is important to firstly understand how positions become vacant. In essence they become vacant via three main streams:-

• Natural attrition;

• Restructures;

• Position upgrades.

Natural attrition can involve the following:-

Retirement, resignation, long-term leave or promotion of Incumbent.

Restructuring occurs where structures within an organization undergo significant changes and thus positions are created within those structures as a result of budgetary impacts, a change in Government direction, feedback from clients and stakeholders or changes in legislation.

There are also occasions where positions are upgraded from one level to another, resulting in a vacancy for applications suitable for the requirements of the higher level. At times – positions are also downgraded. So keep your eyes open and ears to the ground to ensure you are made aware of any possible opportunities.
