Why it's important to get your application form right

The application form is the first step in the recruitment process. The form will provide an overview of your:

• Education
• Work experience and history
• Knowledge
• Skills

The panel who are selecting candidates for interview will only have access to the information you provide on the form, so it's vital that you make the most of the opportunity and sell yourself as the candidate we're looking for.

Taking your time to complete a comprehensive application form also demonstrates your commitment, interest and understanding of the job. It's also important to make sure that the information contained in the application form is accurate.

Guidance on how to complete each section

There are a number of sections to the application form. It's important that you complete all sections as fully as possible. Where a section or question is not applicable to you, say so.

Any sections highlighted * are mandatory and answers to these questions must be provided or you won't be able to progress with the application form.
