Our advice is that you look very closely at the given JD, establish which one you are best fit for, in terms of matching the requirements. Ensure that your CV reflects how good a match you are and respond to that one.

All too often candidates reply multiple positions and do not get called for even one, the reasons are simple:
· The client will go throw a CV with a view to finding the best match (ONE CV does not fit all jobs). The best one is the one that sells the individual as a seasoned professional in the given field. Your document experiences matter.
· The advert Sigma Qualitas send out tells everyone, what is important and required for the job. See all capital lettering, bolded, colored or italic text. Most candidates dismiss these details and think they can make it.
· The most poignant advice is given in the first paragraph of the advert. The clients team of stakeholders who look at submitted CVs is one of seasoned, highly experience professionals. They can tell when a CV is genuine, they can tell when there are unexplained gaps and irregularities etc.
· They will be looking at the CV with a view to identifying what in the candidates past makes them a best fit for the role advertised. Give them reasons to pick you based on your past work experience.
· Please do not see this as an opportunity to branch out into a new field, all clients are very discerning.

Good luck in your application we look forward to hearing from you.
