Tips for applying for a job
General advice from us, the same for every job. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Match your CV to this job: put the experience closest to what it asks for first, and use the same words the listing uses for the same things.
- For each thing the listing asks for, have one real example ready: where you did it, what you did, and what changed because of it.
- Informal work counts. Selling, tutoring, running a family shop, volunteering and caring for relatives all built real skills; say what you did plainly.
- If a cover letter is asked for, keep it to three short paragraphs: why this job, what you have done that fits, and when you can start.
If there is an interview or a test
- Read the listing again the day before, and the organisation's own about page.
- Prepare two or three short stories: a problem you solved, a time you learned something quickly, a time you worked with others.
- Have one or two questions ready for them, for example what the first three months in the role look like.
- For a call or video interview, test your data, battery and a quiet place beforehand. If your connection drops, call or write straight away.
