Expert Application Advice
Fort de mon expérience en WASH, j'ai mené des projets avec un impact mesurable, y compris sur les compétences demandées dans l'annonce. Je serais ravi de mettre mes compétences au service de l'entreprise recrutante pour relever vos défis terrain avec pragmatisme et rigueur.
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.
Portfolio terrain — Listez les points d'eau construits/réhabilités, les formations hygiène animées, les outils de monitoring utilisés (KOBO, ODK). Un résumé d'une page de votre dernier projet WASH joint à votre dossier fait systématiquement la différence.

- •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.
