What is the information required when submitting the CV? Top

The most important thing when you submit your CV to our site is adding specific information which will be the most important to our clients.
We have designed a simple and easy CV form to fill in for all our candidates. The most important information required in these forms are the employment history, qualifications with degree obtained, special skills you may have and of course your contact data. Writing your years of experience including the most recent working place using clear and simple terminology is highly important. All fields that are marked with (*) are required to fill in and can't be left blank.When writing your skills mention everything you are experienced with including any machines or equipment you are able to use.
Do I have to pay money for posting my CV? Top

You are not supposed to pay money to post your CV, posting your CV is completely free of charge.
Why does an error always occur when I try to submit my CV or working experience? Top

This may be done due to:
1. Web page errors when you enter wrong or incomplete data. You will sometimes be alerted for it, the moment you click submit. You can check messages displayed at the top of the page after submitting to check what kind of errors are found in the data you entered and correct the data.
2. If you try to enter another CV when you already have one stored in our databank. You are allowed to enter only one CV which can be edited or deleted. So the best thing is to update your CV periodically, do not try to upload a new one to our databank.

My record of the applied jobs indicates a “YES” on the requested for interview column, what should I do? Top
