How do I apply for a job vacancy listed on jobs.gov.bd?

Content

How do I apply for a job vacancy listed on jobs.gov.bd? I’ve found a position I’m interested in, but I’m unsure about the application process. Specifically, I need to know:
1. Where can I find detailed application guidelines—Are there step-by-step instructions on the website, or is the process universally the same for all vacancies?
2. What documents are required beyond a resume? (e.g., cover letters, academic certificates, national ID copies) and how should I format them?
3. Is there an online portal to submit my application directly through jobs.gov.bd, or do I need to email/courier documents to the advertised contact?
4. Are there deadlines, and are applications accepted after the closing date under any circumstances?
5. If the job description mentions “desirable qualifications,” should I address these in my application or just focus on mandatory requirements?
6. Will I receive an acknowledgment or confirmation after applying, and how long does the hiring process typically take from submission to interview?
