Help with Applications

Whether you've found a vacancy through a job advertisement in a newspaper, a card in a shop window or on-line using the Connexions vacancy service, there are a number of ways in which you might be asked to apply for that vacancy.

The job advert will usually tell you how to apply. For some jobs you will have to complete an application form, others will ask for a CV and a covering letter. Some employers might ask you to telephone them for a telephone interview to assess your suitability but they usually make this clear in the job advert.

Treat your application with respect and give it the time and attention it deserves, but remember that vacancies can be filled very quickly. Don’t wait too long to apply and make sure you get your application in as soon as you can - and well before any given closing date.
