Degree requirement — CA Global specifies a bachelor degree: if yours is from a related field, compensate with highly targeted field experience proving your competence in the exact domain.
Extractive industry — Mining companies systematically verify your safety certifications (BOSIET, H2S, first aid). If you have them, list them with expiry dates. Rotation schedule experience is often decisive.
Technical leadership — Prepare an example of an architectural decision you made, with constraints (budget, timeline, team) and outcomes. African CTOs look for someone who managed real complexity, not just knows the theory.
