Expert Application Advice

Langues — Mackinnon Bruce International exige la maîtrise de anglais et français : prouvez votre niveau par un score certifié (TOEIC, DELF/DALF, IELTS) ou une expérience professionnelle documentée dans cette langue.

Positionnement — Votre lettre de motivation doit répondre à une seule question : pourquoi VOUS pour CE poste précis à CE moment ? Évitez les lettres génériques — une phrase sur ce que vous apportez spécifiquement vaut mieux que trois paragraphes généraux.

KPIs commerciaux — Chiffre d'affaires généré, croissance du portefeuille, quota atteint (%) : ces 3 métriques sont obligatoires en entretien senior. Préparez aussi votre plan des 100 premiers jours — les directeurs commerciaux qui arrivent avec un plan sont systématiquement plus crédibles.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
