Expert Application Advice
Fort de plusieurs années d’expérience IT, je candidate chez DI-AFRICA pour apporter ma rigueur sur Excel. Mon parcours allie expertise technique et compréhension des enjeux africains.
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.
