Expert Application Advice

Je suis ravi de postuler chez LAGARDERE TRAVEL RETAIL. Mon expérience en logistique senior m’a appris à concilier rigueur et efficacité. Pour 12 ans d'expérience, j’ai mis en place des processus qui ont amélioré les délais de 15 %. Je suis disponible pour échanger sur ma vision.

Processus UN — Complétez impérativement votre UN P11 (Personal History Form) à jour et personnalisé pour ce poste — un P11 générique est éliminatoire. Postulez dans les 72h de publication : les agences ONU ferment souvent les candidatures dès que le volume est atteint.

Performance supply chain — Taux de livraison dans les délais, réduction des coûts de stockage, rotations optimisées : quantifiez chaque amélioration. Une certification CIPS ou APICS, même partielle, est un différenciateur majeur en Afrique.

  • •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.
