كل ما بقدم على شغل، برفق شهادتي.

Here كل ما means whenever or every time that.

So:

• كل ما بقدم على شغل = whenever I apply for a job
• It introduces a repeated situation, not just a one-time event.

A useful way to remember it:

• كل ما + present verb often gives the sense of every time I...

This is a very common pattern in Levantine.

Because the sentence is talking about something that happens regularly or whenever the situation comes up, not one specific event.

In Levantine, بـ on the verb often marks the habitual / regular present:

• بقدم = I apply / I usually apply
• not I am applying right now

If you wanted to emphasize an action happening right now, Levantine would often use عم:

• عم بقدم = I am applying right now

But in your sentence, the meaning is habitual, so بقدم is exactly what you would expect.

Because Arabic verbs already show the subject.

• بقدم already means I apply
• برفق already means I attach

So أنا is not necessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• أنا بقدم... = I apply...
  • This can sound more emphatic, like I’m the one who applies...

In normal speech, leaving out the subject pronoun is very common.

This is just how the verb works in Arabic.

• قدّم على = to apply for

So although على literally often means on, in this expression you should learn the whole chunk:

• يقدم على شغل
• يقدم على وظيفة
• يقدم على جامعة

It is best not to translate the preposition word-for-word. Think of قدّم على as one unit meaning apply for.

In Levantine, شغل is a very common everyday word. Depending on context, it can mean:

• work
• a job
• employment
• sometimes even stuff / things / business

In this sentence, على شغل is understood as for a job or for work.

A more formal or more specific word would be:

• وظيفة = job / position

So:

• بقدم على شغل sounds natural and colloquial
• بقدم على وظيفة sounds a bit more formal or specific

برفق here means I attach, I include, or I enclose.

It is used for things like documents sent with an application, email, or form.

So if you apply and send your certificate along with the application, برفق شهادتي expresses that idea.

Depending on dialect and situation, people might also use other verbs in real life, especially in modern contexts, such as verbs meaning:

• I send
• I include
• I add
• I upload

But برفق is perfectly understandable for I attach/enclose.

شهادتي consists of:

• شهادة = certificate / diploma / degree
• ـي / ـتي = my

So:

• شهادتي = my certificate / my diploma / my degree

Exactly which English word fits best depends on context. In job-related situations, شهادة can refer to:

• a school certificate
• a diploma
• a degree
• a qualification document

The ending ـتي is just the possessive suffix meaning my.

The sentence starts with the repeated-condition part:

• كل ما بقدم على شغل = whenever I apply for a job

Then it gives the usual result/action:

• برفق شهادتي = I attach my certificate

So the structure is basically:

• Whenever X happens, I do Y

This order is very natural in Arabic, just as it is in English.

You could sometimes hear different word orders in conversation, but this version is clear and standard for this meaning.

It is mainly Levantine / colloquial, but it is close enough to Standard Arabic that a learner may notice the connection.

What feels colloquial here:

• بقدم instead of a Standard-style form without the colloquial بـ
• شغل as an everyday colloquial word
• no case endings

A more Standard Arabic version would be something like:

• كلما تقدمت إلى وظيفة، أرفقت شهادتي

So your sentence is definitely natural for spoken Levantine, while still being easy to connect to more formal Arabic.

A rough pronunciation guide would be:

• kell ma b2addem 3a sheghel, barfe2 shahadti

A few notes:

• كل often sounds like kell
• على is often reduced in speech to something like 3a
• شغل is often pronounced close to sheghel or shoghol, depending on region
• the final sound in برفق may be a glottal stop if the speaker’s pronunciation reflects a hamza-like ending in speech

Pronunciation varies across Levantine regions, so you may hear slightly different versions.

Yes, كل and ما can appear together in other contexts, so learners sometimes get confused.

But in this sentence, كل ما is a fixed expression meaning:

• whenever
• every time that

You can tell from the structure:

• كل ما + verb, then another clause

That pattern strongly signals repetition over time.

So here it does not mean something like all that. It clearly means every time I apply for a job...

The comma separates the two parts of the sentence:

1. كل ما بقدم على شغل
2. برفق شهادتي

It works like a pause after the whenever clause.

In Arabic writing, punctuation is helpful but not always used as strictly as in English. So the comma is natural and useful here, but in casual writing people may be less consistent with punctuation.

In speech, you would usually hear a slight pause there.
