Expert Application Advice

Candidatez chez AGL — Africa Global Logistics avec votre expertise en 10 ans d'expérience. Mettez en avant vos réalisations africaines concrètes, comme l'optimisation de systèmes ou la gestion de projets. Adaptez votre CV localement, valorisez votre impact et montrez votre enthousiasme pour ce poste senior.

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.

Leadership technique — Préparez un exemple de décision d'architecture que vous avez prise, avec les contraintes (budget, délai, équipe) et les résultats. Les CTO africains cherchent quelqu'un qui a géré la complexité réelle, pas juste quelqu'un qui connaît la théorie.

  • •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.
