UPDATE: We are no longer accepting applicants for these positions. We have had hundreds of great candidates apply and we truly thank all that submitted CVs. After Eid we will soon be contacting those who we would like to follow up for an interview.
I offer my comments on the review of the applications and hopefully lessons that may help some of you in responding to future job posts.
1. Make sure to add a Subject Header that reflects the job opening. More than half of the emails received either had no Subject Header or an irrelevant Subject Header. Unfortunately, when we need to review many hundreds of applications, we immediately screen out such applications.
2. In the body of the email text, add a brief summary (a few lines is sufficient) demonstrating your understanding of the position needs and how you meet those. If needed, feel free to add a cover letter to address that in more detail. Less than 10% of applicants demonstrated that they could meet the specific job retirements. Those that provide that information are flagged for review of their CVs.
3. Make sure your CV clearly shows that you have the required skill set Use spell check. Keep the CV simple and professional. There is no need to send your many safety certificates as attachments. Less than 5% of the applicants were able to provide evidence in their CV that they had the required experience or capabilities to carry out the work duties. Those with CVs that demonstrate these qualities are one that we will contact.
