It seem that once again we need to remind some members about applying for vacancies posted by companies and members. It isn't rocket science, it's all about common sense.
We understand that it can be a frustrating venture sending CV's everyday and getting no replies, and the current market is grossly overmanned, with a lack of work.
* READ the entire vacancy ad
* ENSURE you have ALL the qualifications required and meet the criteria in full
* ONLY apply if you do meet every aspect of the criteria
* If you are succesful please do bother to show up (it's amazing how many we hear about who don't bother after they make the effort to apply)
* DO NOT spam those offering the vacancy with CV's that are not adequate
* ALWAYS be honest, do not lie to get a vacancy
* Think of others and not just yourself. everytime you simply send off a CV and do not meet the criteria you are wasting the time of those who bother to post a vacancy. Constantly doing this tends to loose the vacancy poster the will to live after reading 50 CV's that are not up to the task. You may be 21, have a CP license and believe you are ready to protect Madonna but a little realism goes a long way. Just because you have a FAW or an FPOS does NOT make you a medic ready to wizz off to the sandy places and jolly along on a convoy.
*REMEMBER posters do so because they wish to use a forum which has a great many qualified people on the hunt for work, don't spoil it for everyone else by applying for jobs you cannot do, or these posters will simply go elsewhere and then nobody gets the benefit of vacancies.
