Application Form Tips

 

Answer every question

• Don't miss out any questions, every question is relevant, explain in detail how your experience answers the question. No one liners.

• Don't include anything you can't back up at an interview, prove your experience with past examples.

• Keep it tidy, only one style of handwriting and pen colour.

• Read the question carefully and read it again after you have drafted your answer - have you covered all the points?

• Don't include your CV unless you're specifically asked to, it's just doubling up on information.

• Ask for a second opinion from a trusted friend or family member.

 

Deadlines are important

• Send your completed application form in good time - do not leave it to the last minute!

• By Post - make sure you have the correct postage, consider recorded delivery (For delivery prices and timescales click here).
