CDCFIB Issues Reasons Why Applicants Get Disqualified During Recruitment

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released an important notice outlining the most common reasons applicants are disqualified during recruitment.

2. Incomplete or deficient application details

3. Lack of relevant work experience or educational background

4. Absence of required training or certifications

5. Submission of duplicate applications
