Application guidelines - Nice to know

Alfred is ready to assist you in your job search. Here are some essential tips to consider before submitting your application.

Are you searching for the right job?


Set your Job Watch preferences to receive messages about suitable jobs. Suppose you find that Alfred is suggesting jobs that don't match your needs. In that case, you should update your preferences, for example, by selecting relevant job tags and locations.

Read the job ad through


Please make sure to carefully read the advertisement before submitting your application. Avoid spending valuable time applying for a job that may not fit you well. Remember that there is a limit to the number of applications you can submit, although the limit is quite generous.

60 applications in 30 days


You can submit up to 60 applications within 30 days, which should be sufficient for applying to suitable job opportunities. Make sure to apply for positions for which you are genuinely qualified. Just imagine reaching the application limit and missing out on applying for your dream job.

Many applications but few responses


If you're waiting to hear back after applying to many jobs, there could be a few reasons. Consider spicing up your profile, fine-tuning your resume, or throwing in some extra documents. Also, ensure you're aiming for the right job opportunities because that can make a difference in your job search.

Does your profile match the job?


Make sure your qualifications, education, and experience align with the job description. If you only meet a few requirements, this might not be your best job opportunity.

Remember to check your language skills


Your profile provides an overview of the languages you've listed. Please ensure that they are listed correctly. Companies may ignore your applications if you fail to include relevant languages. Also, double-check if the jobs you apply for align with your skills.


Remember not to overload your profile with irrelevant qualifications when applying for jobs. Select the skills you believe will aid your job search, focusing on areas where your skills are above average.

What's your educational background?


It's crucial to share a detailed description of your education, including any diplomas or specialised programs that make you stand out from other applicants.

Driving licence, certifications and courses


Do you have a valid driver's licence, additional testing, forklift certification, or have you completed a first aid course? Remember to list all qualifications that will strengthen your application.

Attachments


You can save your CV, cover letters, copies of certificates, degrees, and other documents on your profile. Keep these documents handy and check the attachments that should accompany the application the next time you apply for a job.
