Setp 4: Apply
Apply smarly
If you follow our advice, with a good mid-level CV, you will find a mission in less than 2 months.
Be relentless and consistent, apply daily
Allocate the necessary time, ideally spending 1 to 2 hours every day checking job postings for consultancy missions on the various websites we will introduce to you on the following page. As a Moroccan saying aptly puts it, it is better for one’s vegetable patch to receive a small, light, and regular rain every day rather than a sudden torrent of water.
Tailor your CV for each application
Use a VPN
It is necessary to use a VPN from Morocco with a Belgian IP connection to access certain recruitment websites such as ICTJob.be, for example. Therefore, we encourage you to subscribe to ExpressVPN or NordVPN. It’s a small investment that could have a huge positive impact on your career and future earnings. It is necessary to invest a small amount of money intelligently to gain a lot of money.
Take the time to enter your information on the websites
In addition to uploading a PDF CV on these recruitment sites, it is possible to fill in all fields describing your professional experience and qualifications in your account profile. We strongly encourage you to take the time to complete your profile fully and comprehensively. This will increase the chances of you appearing in a recruiter’s search based on criteria such as years of experience and specific technologies. Generally, recruiters conduct searches, select certain CVs, and only then read them. Therefore, you will only appear in their search if you fill out your candidate profile on the site 100%.
Set up alerts on the websites
It is possible to set up alerts based on the publication of new freelance missions that match your selection criteria. We recommend using this feature to the fullest extent possible to increase your responsiveness when a new mission matching your profile appears.
