No more need for military service card to get job in Algeria

Algerians can now apply for recruitment tests without providing a military service card after the government decided to ban the condition starting from November.

•  
• General Director of civil service Djamel Kherchi has given instructions to all government departments concerned by recruitment to allow job seekers taking recruitment tests without submitting a military service card.
•  
• According to the new instructions, administrations are not allowed to reject people’s job applications if they lack military service cards. Any reject will be considered as a violation of law. 
•  
• The Algerian law stipulates that one and a half years of national military service is compulsory for all males starting from age of 19.
