Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The trap here is “at the time of recruitment”: the age limit is not judged only on the day you send the email, but when the Bank actually recruits you. A candidate who is eligible today can therefore fall out of range if their age timeline is too tight. The other silent filter is “practical knowledge” of a second working language: you need to show it through experience, courses, assignments, translation work, or stays, not leave it as a simple line on the page. The right move is to check your age against the likely recruitment date, then send the email with the exact subject line while making your concrete second-language evidence visible in both your CV and cover letter.
