A quick CV Check-list for Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

  •  Have you included your personal detail? – name, address, phone number and email Should be part of your heading. These are your main contact, without which a prospective employer will find difficult or impossible to contact you. People often forget them! Do not include your age or a photograph except expressly requested to do so.

 

  • Have you written a summary of your profile? – Your should consider making the next line after your heading a summary of your profile. It should be direct and a reflection of the role applied for and should reflect your most relevant experience to the job and your most relevant qualification. This could be skilled based or academic based qualification.

 

  • What is should be your priority in the body of your CV? – When you write your history, for an experience position, it sis important to start with your jobs experience followed by education qualification, while for fresh graduate jobs, you may consider starting with you educational qualification. Please remember put your most recent achievements first and in the order or relevance to the job you are applying for.

 

  • Are you wording professional? – You may consider using simple English words and sentences. The essence of a CV is to communicate your suitability for the Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe you are applying for. You can sound professional without using jargon or ‘management-speak’. Keep your writing clear, simple direct and focused. Remember that the person looking at your CV might not be an expert in your field.

 

  • Are you Words Focused? – Try to write your CV using as few words as applicable, this way you’ll keep to the point and avoid goofing around. You can say more in your cover letter and application form, there’s no need to go into depth in a CV.

 

  • Is Your CV Generic?– You may consider not to overlook is the importance of tailoring your CV to each job application. Although you only have a limited amount of space and time to highlight your abilities on your CV though. So it’s expected you’ll want to shift certain aspects to the front, emphasising the more relevant details. Within this you could also try to work in particular keywords used in the original job advert. Your description of certain experiences also might require a new perspective depending on the job you are applying for.

 

  • Is your CV too Long? – A quick suggestion is to make your CV’s length relative to your work experience: A one page or two page maximum for graduate trainee should be considered; if you have many years experience in a wide range of roles, you can justify a long CV. Academic CVs may usually be up to 4-5 pages long, whereas CVs tailored to the private sector should be about 2 – 3.

 

  • Are you Active or Passive ? – The use of past tense of participle gives a better perspective to your achievement. Use ‘doing’ words on your CV such as ‘developed’ or ‘organised’. This makes you sounds active and not passive. Adopting the right tone makes you sound confident and Employers not only want to hear about your relevant successes but also why and how you’ve achieved them. This however does not mean over-stating how great you are without any substance or Wordy jargon or buzzwords like “highly-motivated” or “team-player” are hollow in isolation as every CV uses them. So your aim should be to stand out by giving facts and figures – hard evidence that speaks for itself.

 

  • Have you considered the implication of what you have written or about to write? – For Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa, you may consider not to talk about your social life unless your activities display an important skill such as leadership or teamwork or any skill that could relate to the role and boost your chances of getting the job.

 

  • Have you provided Referees? – Don’t forget to provide names and contacts of your referees; at the minimum two referees should be provided if not specified in the Jobs Vacancy Careers advertisement and one should preferably be your current employer.

 

  • Have you proof read you CV? – Mistakes are common in writings; and for CVs, you may come across as being lazy or unprofessional which could be a turn off to the CV reviewer. There should be no spelling, punctuation or grammar errors: unprofessional CVs are rejected. If you find editing your own work difficult, get a friend to read your CV. you may consider showing it to as many people as possible: your supervisor/mentor, colleagues, even your family and friends. Their first impressions will help you to improve your CV. A good technique is to constantly revisit and refine your CV. Over time and with experience, your technique for language will get better. Couple this to the natural self-confidence you develop during spells of employment and your CV should surely reflect that. Taking time to periodically re-read your CV and consider how you might describe yourself again today is essential. You might even feel compelled to write sections again, or approach the whole thing from scratch.

 It’s all about refining what you say and how you say it in the most concise way, and you’ll be surprised how your perceptions here evolve.

What to Avoid; If the check list above proves to be helpful, why not spend more time to learn common pit fall in CV writing

 

Thins to avoid when writing a CV for Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

 

  1. Spelling and Typographic errors– A big turn off to most CV reviewers and interviewer. Mistakes suggest to employers that you haven’t spent the time and effort on your application and that you lack diligence. Get someone to assist in proof reading your CV. sometimes it’s difficult to pick our own errors as our minds forces our eyes to overlook them.
  2. Don’t underrate any experience– present all valuable experience and capture the responsibility that ensures you utilised the required skills. remember your part-time jobs and internship programs but focus on the key responsibilities, skills and achievement
  3. Avoid sending a generic CV – ensure you read and understand the requirement for the role you are applying for and Taylor your CV to match the applied role. You may consider making specific CV for each application, tailored to suit the role.
  4. Avoid sending duplicates or multiple applications– sending duplicate or multiple entry could jeopardise your chances as you tend to make sorting difficult for the employer
  5. Avoid any negativity in your CV– learn to eliminate In words in your CV that comes across as negative terms. the technique is to turn every weakness into strength for instance when you address any adversity, present such “challenges” as triumphant. Consider to avoid using negative words such as “hate”, “argued”, “quit”, “ignored” or “tried” is best policy, even if they honestly reflect your personal feelings. Alternative suitable phrases would be “overcame”, “persuaded”, “re-approached” and “delivered” .

Zimbabwe: Marketing Technical Advisor, Self-Testing Africa (STAR)

Posted by on Feb 2, 2017 in Vacancies in Zimbabwe | Comments Off on Zimbabwe: Marketing Technical Advisor, Self-Testing Africa (STAR)

Zimbabwe: Marketing Technical Advisor, Self-Testing Africa (STAR)

Employment as Marketing Technical Advisor

Organization: Population Services International
Country: Zimbabwe
Closing date: 02 Mar 2017

Job title Marketing Technical Advisor, UNITAID/PSI HIV Self-Testing Africa (STAR) Project

Department: HIV & TB Department

Based in: Harare, Zimbabwe with up to 30**%** international travel

Reports to: UNITAID/PSI HIV STAR Project Director

Who we are

We’re Population Services International (PSI), the world’s leading non-profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to lead healthier lives and plan the families they desire by marketing affordable products and services that range from mosquito nets to contraceptives to HIV testing.

There are over 9,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a diverse group of entrepreneurs and professionals with an unusually wide range of backgrounds – from the medical industry to the music business – all with unique skills we bring to the job.

Join us!

The STAR Project is one of the most exciting projects at PSI—launching a whole new product that empowers consumers to know their HIV status…on their own terms. We work with leading researchers all over the world to evaluate our programs, and use cutting edge program design to ensure HIV self-testing reaches the people who need it most. Our work has informed the launch of new WHO guidelines, mobilized expanded funding for HIV self-testing and led new countries to adopt supportive HIV self-testing policies. We’ve delivered over 185,000 HIV self-tests in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe…in just 4 months. Now, we’re launching in new channels, starting to scale-up and planning expansion to three new countries by the fall.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, dynamic Marketing Technical Advisor to work with our country teams to help strengthen the market for HIV self-testing and the treatment and care that follows. We need this Advisor to have significant expertise and experience in marketing and the ability to inform and use consumer and market research in developing countries. The Advisor will apply their significant skills with a long-term eye, focused on building a sustainable market for HIV self-testing well into the future. This position is funded for 6 months.

Sound like you? Read on!

Your contribution

Your will lead efforts to understand how HIVST is performing in the current market and what we need to do as we look toward scale-up. Some of the work you’ll do as part of this effort includes;

  • Work with the selected market research agency (procurement will be done before you’re on board!) to design consumer and market research on testing behaviors among target populations and specifically, all aspects of HIV self-testing in terms of awareness, access and use. You’ll also review and revise the research agenda and workplan as proposed by the agency, including market landscaping, qualitative and quantitative research.
  • Coordinate and monitor market research implementation in all relevant STAR project countries, including Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Work closely with the STAR country teams and market research agency to ensure successful execution.
  • Ensure dissemination and appropriate use of relevant research findings to inform and develop marketing strategy for existing project activities as well as expansion planned.

But that’s not all. During initial program implementation, each country has been leading their own marketing strategy. But we’re about to launch a large regional campaign. You’ll be responsible for making that a success! What will that look like? Well, you’ll:

  • Ensure adherence to PSI’s global standards and procedures
  • Liaise with key stakeholders involved in the project at all levels to inform them of marketing progress and approaches as required.

The best part is, this is just the beginning! The last 1.5 years has been focused on pilot, learning and evaluation. But we’re about to move into a massive scale-up with millions of tests distributed in the next three years and expansion to three new countries. We’ll need your help to determine the marketing approach for this new phase of our work—based on your expertise, lessons from our regional campaign and the market research findings.

  • Based on market research findings and analysis of success of marketing activities implemented in phase one design of demand creation activities for Phase 2.
  • Support the Project Director and the Senior Technical Advisor on the STAR project in the development of the project plan and budget for phase two on the marketing component.
  • Coordinate with the regional and global marketing team at PSI to ensure alignment with PSI’s approaches, exposure to best practices across the PSI world and opportunity to draw on additional technical support as needed.
  • Once awarded, execute the design and implementation of marketing strategies in all six Southern African countries, including formative work, implementation and evaluation of marketing development and marketing strategies.

Education: You hold a Master’s degree in communications, marketing, or a similar discipline. Alternatively, you have a Bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of additional relevant experience.

Experience: At least 7 years of demonstrated successful experience in designing and implementing marketing and communication activities. You have some familiarity with new product introduction. Of these at least 7 years, you’ve spent a minimum of 3 of them working in developing country settings.

Tech Savvyness: You know about behavior change theories and how to apply them in programmatic contexts. You’ve used commercial marketing, human centered design, and/or behavioral economics in your past work to develop marketing solutions

Collaboration: You are a team player. You work well with others, but you know how to take initiative to get things done. Even when people don’t report to you, you know how to motivate them to adopt new initiatives or change their approaches.

Ideally, you’ve worked in settings requiring lots of collaboration before, perhaps on other multi-national/regional activities that require coordinate with multiple partners and institutions.

You also have experience collaborating with others to build their capacities and skills. You’ll use that in your STAR work, building the skills of both civil society and government entities in marketing.

Communication: You write with clarity and feel comfortable speaking up when you have something important to say. You’re not afraid of public speaking and have developed good skills in this arena. You have excellent interpersonal skills, with great experience communicating across cultures.

Initiative: You know what it means to be “thrown in the deep end”. You’ll have support, but your personal initiative to learn quickly and your willingness to try new things will be critical. You don’t wait to be told what to do. You see a need and you meet it, you’re bold. You know that deadlines are important, and you stick to them. In everything you are always driving to achieve results, to make this market more sustainable and more effective at delivering health impact.

South Sudan: South Sudan – Senior Emergency Coordinator – Juba

Posted by on Feb 2, 2017 in Vacancies in Zimbabwe | Comments Off on South Sudan: South Sudan – Senior Emergency Coordinator – Juba

Employment at Solidarites International as Senior Emergency Coordinator

Organization: Solidarités International
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 28 Feb 2017

Desired start date: ASAP
Duration of the mission: 6 months renewable
Location: Juba based with field visits

GENERAL OBJECTIVES AND STAKES OF THE POSITION

Following the deterioration of humanitarian access in South Sudan, SI is setting up a senior emergency department able to impulse and develop a dynamic of reactivity and humanitarian response analysis to life savings needs.

About the mission

General context of South Sudan

On July 9th 2011, South Sudan gained its independence, putting an end to a twenty-year civil war between the Khartoum regime and the separatist rebels in the South. The youngest state in the world boasts significant oil reserves but suffers from a lack of development and especially a lack of infrastructure.

For now three years, South Sudan has been facing a civil war. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), one fifth of the population – about 2 million people – were displaced before the events of July 2016.

In July 2016, heavy fighting erupted between rival forces – the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) loyal to President Salva Kiir and the SPLA in Opposition backing the former First Vice-President Riek Machar –in and around the capital city, Juba, on 7th July. Following this, the number of IDPs rose to more 3.2 millions, with an estimated 5.1 in dire need of humanitarian help.

Overview of Solidarités International’s work in the country

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL has been operating in South Sudan since October 2006, and is strongly focusing on the emergency response to the life-saving needs of populations affected by the recurring armed crises and displacements in the country.

SI has a strong field and coordination-based WaSH expertise. Beyond pure emergencies, SI aims at using it to contribute to the alleviation of malnutrition, water-borne diseases which still plague a substantial part of South Sudan population.

This commitments works through 2 strategic axes :

  • A country-wise flying deployment capacity, through the Emergency Preparedness & Response mechanism (EP&R), which includes the conduction of rapid assessments and the implementation of emergency short WaSH interventions throughout the whole country. SI is an active EP&R partner, currently setting up a new humanitarian access-related setup and facilitating the reactivity of emergency air deployments for all EP&R partners, in collaboration with a specialized partner.
  • A province-tailored response, through a permanent presence if key cities and provinces (currently Malakal, Upper Nile). SI aims at developping an overall “WaSH package” for the area, being it inside the PoCs or outside in the towns/villages. Complementary interventions (FSL/Cash pilot/shelter projects) can be developed, and a strong focus is put on humanitarian actors’ coordination.

For 2016/2017, SI will focus on 2 areas of improvement:

  • Securing proper humanitarian access management tools, in order to maximize its capacity to respond swiftly within the EP&R mechanism, in deteriorating environments.
  • Develop semi-permanent or permanent solutions and response related to displacements in key affected provinces.

http://www.solidarites.org/en/our-missions/south-sudan

About the job

Following the deterioration of humanitarian access in South Sudan, SI is looking for a senior emergency coordinator able to impulse and develop a dynamic of reactivity and humanitarian response analysis within its teams.

It replaces the former “EP&R coordinator” position, and aims at boosting SI EP&R teams capacity to implement emergency interventions in tense and volatile environment.

SI is looking for a collaborator able to analyze the everchanging contextual trends in SSU, along with critical gaps in the emergency humanitarian response. He/she will be able to prioritize emergency deployments, and will closely work with the Country Director in order to shape an overall emergency response strategy. A capacity to develop an extensive information network and reactive humanitarian data collection will be requested. As such, the Emergency Coordinator will benefit from two operational tools; an EP&R dedicated team, and a humanitarian access team, led by senior deputies.

The Emergency Coordinator will also be a key component of SI coordination team and a close collaborator of the Country Director in the design of the mission strategic lines.

An appetite for emergency-related challenges is an absolute prerequisite !

South Sudan: A Medical Coordinator – South Sudan

Posted by on Feb 2, 2017 in Vacancies in Zimbabwe | Comments Off on South Sudan: A Medical Coordinator – South Sudan

Employment in South Sudan as Medical Coordinator

Organization: Première Urgence Internationale
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 31 Mar 2017

Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilians’ victims of marginalization and exclusion, or hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads in average 190 projects by year in the following sectors of intervention: food security, health, nutrition, construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures, water, sanitation, hygiene and economic recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 5 million people in 20 countries – in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe and France.

Find out about our history and values

Humanitarian situation and needs:

In the Republic of South Sudan (SSD), more than 2 years of armed conflict have shattered the lives of millions of people. 2014 and 2015 have been years of continued instability due to unresolved border issues (between Sudan and South Sudan) and more importantly due to the civil war between SPLM/A forces loyal to President S. Kiir and SPLA-IO loyal to the rebel leader R. Machar, former vice-president. As of beginning of 2015; at least six out of 10 states are affected by armed violence, 1.66 million people have been displaced within the country, more than 640.000 refugees have fled out of the country, 3.9 million people are severely food insecure. Among IDPs, about 180.000 people have found refuge in UNMIS PoCs. All this needs to be considered in a very young country within which virtually the entire population has experienced forced displacement at least 1 time and hence where resilience is massively jeopardized.

Previous Northern Bahr el Ghazal (NBeG) (where PUI has operated since Feb. 2015) has been and still is largely neglected by humanitarian assistance because of their peripheral situation with regards to the armed conflict. However, a deterioration of the humanitarian context is to be noted and new displacements are still an option for the coming months.

Our action in the field:

PUI has been operating in SSD since February 2015 and intends to extend the coverage of its current intervention. Addressing urgent needs of the most vulnerable in the targeted areas is planned through the following strategic objectives:

  • Improvement of the access to health care services
  • Reduction of the risks associated with food insecurity and undernutrition

Other strategic objectives will be considered in 2017 and will be used to define complementary multi-sectoral needs assessment in the area where PUI is already operational but might also cover new counties/states depending on the evolution of the political/security situation. The sectors PUI would like to investigate are the following: Shelter & NFIs, Water Sanitation & Hygiene, Rehabilitation & Construction and Economic Recovery.

In 2015 PUI has implemented the following projects in the county of Aweil North (previous NBeG State):

  • Access to Primary Health Care services:

A Primary Health Care Centre has been fully operational in Malual Centre Payam and associated to outreach and community based activities in an area where host community is massively vulnerable and where movements are still recorded. The targeted area is virtually free from other type of humanitarian intervention. This project is funded by ECHO DG, and we anticipate continuing with the same donor in 2017

  • Nutrition

PUI provides nutrition services according to the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) protocol PHCC level and through outreach activities, which includes Out-patient Therapeutic Program (OTP) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TFSP) for children between 6 and 59 months as well as pregnant and lactating women (PLW) at four different nutrition sites, with the support of ECHO, UNICEF, WFP and GIZ. At Majak Kaar PHCC PUI runs a Stabilization Centre (SC) for children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) with complications, which also serves as a referral site for OTPs and TSFPs run by PUI and other partners. In 2017 PUI plans to extend its nutrition services to a total of 11 nutrition sites in Aweil North.

  • Food Security:

Food distributions have targeted about 600 IDP households in Aweil North County as well as the families of patients discharged after having been treated for Acute Sever Undernutrition in the PHCC. This project has been supported by CIAA in 2015 and has also allowed distributing daily food parcels to patients and care-takers at the PHCC level.

Beginning 2017 the mission plans to do a multisectoral in depth needs assessment with the aim to assess the needs and identify root causes of the continuous deteriorating nutritional status of the population in Aweil North.

The financial volume of operation in 2016 is superior to the volume of 2015.
