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.
Certifications et réflexes — Listez vos habilitations en cours de validité (incendie, premiers secours, gestion de crise) avec les dates. Préparez des exemples concrets de situations à risque gérées — la clarté de vos procédures réflexes est le vrai critère d'évaluation.

- •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.
