Applications and personal statements
Many employers will ask you to apply online using their application form. In this form you will likely need to provide basic information about yourself, as well as provide evidence of your skills and motivation through answering questions or writing a personal statement.
Applicant Tracking Systems
Some larger organisations and job sites use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) which use scanning software, looking for keywords and phrases that match the job description.
Demonstrate you meet the criteria
Before you start writing any application or preparing for an interview, it is important to be clear about what the employer is looking for and how you meet their selection criteria.
Advice appointments
Our careers advice appointments provide the opportunity to discuss and review your application or personal statement with a member of our advisor team.
