Expert Application Advice
Key certification — The ITIL certification is a direct screening criterion. If you hold it, put it at the top of your CV. Without it, compensate with quantified achievements proving equivalent competency.
Telecom — Operators prioritize candidates who speak business metrics: ARPU, churn rate, NPS. Systematically quantify the commercial or operational impact of your achievements. An existing network in the local telecom ecosystem is a real competitive advantage.
Active portfolio — Your GitHub profile or online portfolio is your real CV for an IT recruiter. Build it with your 2-3 best projects before applying — it's your most convincing proof of competence.
🎯 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.
