Job Applications and Interview Preparation
Before applying
Read the advertisement carefully and identify the experience, qualifications and availability the employer considers essential. Tailor your application to those requirements instead of sending the same generic message for every role.
Prepare your application
- Use a clear CV with recent experience first.
- Explain relevant achievements using short, specific examples.
- Check spelling, dates and contact details.
- Follow the employer’s requested application method.
Prepare for an interview
- Research the employer and understand the role.
- Prepare examples that demonstrate your skills and reliability.
- Confirm the time, location or video link.
- Bring any documents the employer requested, but do not share unnecessary sensitive information.
After the interview
Send a short, professional follow-up if appropriate. Keep applying for other suitable roles until you have received and accepted a written offer.
Stay safe
Do not pay someone to secure a job, transfer money on an employer’s behalf or provide banking login details. Report suspicious advertisements through the site’s contact channel.
