Expert Application Advice
For senior roles at Heading Moçambique, don’t just list your years in logistics—show how you’ve solved challenges like SAP. Use a brief example of a past win that mirrors their need. This proves you’re ready to deliver, not just qualified.
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.
Supply chain performance — On-time delivery rates, storage cost reduction, stock rotation: quantify every improvement. A CIPS or APICS certification, even partial, is a major differentiator in Africa.

- •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.
