Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for Christian Blind Mission, don’t just list your tasks—show how you solved real problems. If the ad mentions les compétences demandées dans l'annonce, include a brief example of a time you used that skill to improve a campaign or team outcome. This makes your application stand out.

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.

Campaign portfolio — Prepare 2-3 campaign examples with objectives, channels used, and results (reach, engagement, conversions). Note: communication recruiters systematically check your personal social profiles.

  • •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.
