Security notice: no legitimate consultancy process asks for money to move forward. If anyone requests payments at any stage, it is a scam — use only official channels.
Before applying
Some practical tips to prepare your expression of interest in time:
- Request the ToR in advance. The cover letter must address the criteria listed there — without reading them, you cannot align what you write with what is required.
- Organize your CV clearly. Check out the CV guide for technical roles in Mozambique for guidance on structure and content.
- Prepare both languages simultaneously. The submission must be in Portuguese and English — do not leave translation to the last day.
- Confirm the email subject before sending. Reference MZ-MTL-558151-CS-INDV and the job title must appear in the subject line — this is a formal requirement, not a suggestion.
- Keep proof of submission. Record the date and time of sending the email to have proof that you met the deadline.
