Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for Knight Piesold, don’t just list les compétences demandées dans l'annonce—show it with a concrete result you achieved. Use numbers or context to prove your impact, like “reduced downtime by 15%” or “led a 5-person team to fix X.”

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.

Field competencies — Detail your on-site experience: conditions managed, equipment mastered, safety standards applied. A portfolio of technical drawings/reports concretely proves your skills.

🎯 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.
