Expert Application Advice

For a senior role at Sanlam Allianz Investments Ltd, don’t just tick the box for les compétences demandées dans l'annonce—show how you’ve used it to drive revenue. Lead your CV with a concrete result (e.g., “boosted sales 30% via this skill”).

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Sales KPIs — Revenue generated, portfolio growth, quota attainment (%): these 3 metrics are mandatory in senior interviews. Also prepare your 100-day plan — sales directors who arrive with a plan are consistently perceived as more credible.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

  • •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.
