Monday morning. Your alarm goes off, you grab your phone while the kettle is boiling, and the first thing you type is “Addis Zemen vacancy”. Sound familiar? Half of Addis, Bahir Dar, Hawassa, and Mekelle are doing the exact same thing right now.

How to Apply Without Losing Your Mind
Step 1 – Pay the application fee the night before the last day (100–300 birr). Use Telebirr or CBE Birr so you’re not stuck in bank queue at 4 PM.
Step 2 – Most ministries now want you to register on www.chilot.me first, then upload scanned documents. Do it from home on weekend night unlimited package.
Step 3 – Print only two copies: one for the office, one for your records. No need for the old 15-copy drama.
Real talk from someone who applied last year: I paid my fee at 11:45 PM via Telebirr, uploaded everything at midnight, walked into the office next morning with just my ID and receipt. Zero stress.
Monday Morning Hacks Only Addis Kids Know
- Arat Kilo newspaper guys sell Sunday’s Addis Zemen from 6:30 AM for 10 birr. Grab it, sit at Tomoca, circle jobs with a pen – old-school but works.
- Screenshot the vacancy page, send to your cousin in the regions so they apply too.
- Join these Telegram channels (they post the list by 9 AM sharp, no fake news): → t.me/EthiopianVacancy → t.me/AddisZemenJobs → t.me/GovJobsEthiopia
- Use Ethio Telecom night package (midnight–6 AM unlimited) to download forms – costs almost nothing.
