Uganda government job shortlists: verify a notice safely
Check the recruiting authority's own website before you travel, send documents or respond to an interview message.
Government recruitment bodies publish their own shortlists and interview notices. The official notice, job reference and contact details are the reliable record, not an image that has been forwarded between applicants.
Identify the recruiting authority
First identify the body named on the advert. Public Service Commission, Health Service Commission, Education Service Commission, Judicial Service Commission and district commissions may use different channels. Search that authority's official website for the advert reference and shortlist.
Compare the post title, reference, date and your name carefully. If the official page does not confirm the message, treat it as unverified.
Respond only to official instructions
Use the official notice for venue, time and documents. Contact the recruiting authority through a number or email on its own website if the notice needs clarification.
Recruitment services are not sold through agents. Do not pay for a shortlist, appointment letter or interview slot, and keep identity documents private until an official instruction requires them.

Frequently asked questions
Can a WhatsApp image confirm that I am shortlisted?
No. Check the recruiting authority's official site and your application account where one was used.
