Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your resume for Pact, don’t just list your years of experience—prove mastery of les compétences demandées dans l'annonce with a specific, measurable achievement. Senior roles need concrete impact, not generic duties. This shows you understand the role’s real demands.

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.

Key figures — Budgets managed, cost savings achieved, audits closed on time: prepare 3 precise financial achievements with amounts. African CFOs often test IFRS or local GAAP knowledge — be ready with specific examples.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •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.
