Looking for employment

This takes a lot of thought, from finding a job to creating the right impression when applying. The sections below should help you understand the right way to go about it.

Information

Application forms

  • Application forms are given to prospective employees so that everybody answers the same questions. The employers will judge whether your answers fit with their organisation.
  • Complete the application form in pencil first to avoid mistakes, or practise on a photocopy first.
  • Think carefully about what you are being asked and make sure you answer the questions fully and truthfully.
  • Always write clearly, neatly and in black ink. Return it by the closing date. Keep a copy of the completed form, so that you can re-read it before you go to the interviews.
  • If you are sending in supporting evidence, like a CV, make sure all the pages are clipped together securely.
