Get Ready to Apply: Your Success Checklist
Competition for these roles is high, so it's essential to be prepared! Use this quick checklist to get 'application ready' so you can apply quickly and effectively as soon as you see a position you like.
Preparation Steps:
- Understand the Process: Research what each stage of the recruitment process might involve, such as the CV, covering letter, online application form, video assessment, assessment day, and in-person interview.
- Prepare Your Documents: Get your CV (collating your achievements and skills is a useful process), covering letter, and a list of qualifications and certificates ready.
- Audit Your Online Presence: Make sure your email address and voicemail message are sensible and professional. Also, Google yourself to check what appears and ensure all accounts are set to private, or any public information is appropriate.
- Research Employer Needs: Look at adverts to identify the desired and essential attributes, skills, and qualifications employers are seeking.
- Think about References: Consider who you would ask to be your referee (e.g., form tutor, supervisor) and gain their permission in advance.
