About the employer

Tips before you apply
- Match the advert’s wording. Mirror the subject areas the advert lists in your cover letter, and say plainly which one you fit.
- Get documents in order first. Scan transcripts and certificates into single combined files, as portals of this kind often ask for one upload per document type.
- Check your referees. Tell the people you name that the employer may contact them, and confirm their current email addresses.
- Keep records. Save the advert text and your submission confirmation, because postings without a closing date can be removed once filled.
