We receive a lot of applications, so it’s important you make yours stand out. With that in mind, we’ve put together these hints and tips:

• Be concise and ensure your information has an impact
• Keep it simple and clear – you can always elaborate at the interview
• Analyse the job description – read the job description, identify which relevant skills, experience and competencies you have.  If you don’t, consider other experiences that could be appropriate
• Read the application questions carefully – take time to think about each question and add your personality to your answer
• Summarise your key achievements at the top of your CV
• Don’t have any unexplained gaps on your application. If you have had a career break or have been travelling, let us know
• Academic and professional qualifications should flow in a logical order
• Check your application before submitting. Check spelling and get a friend or family member to read through if it helps
