Career Resources

Choose a career path that fits the local market. Start with high-demand sectors in Jigjiga and Addis Ababa: NGOs, logistics, retail, healthcare, telecom, and government projects. Build local references — they matter more than international titles.

Keep your CV one page, in clean English. Lead with measurable results (e.g. 'managed 12-person team', 'increased sales 35%'). Add a clear WhatsApp number — employers on Hubaal contact you there first. Save as PDF, never as Word.

Research the employer's recent projects before the call. Prepare 3 short stories that show problem-solving. For WhatsApp interviews: be in a quiet place, use voice notes if asked, reply within 5 minutes. Always send a thank-you message after.

Use AI tools to draft cover letters, polish your CV, and prepare for interviews. Free options: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. Ask them to rewrite your CV in 'simple professional English' and to simulate interview questions for the role you applied to.
