Applying for a job? Feel more in control of the job hunting process with our new guide

Whether you have your heart set on a prized role in the organisation you most admire, or you’re casting your net far and wide; following a simple application strategy can be a useful starting point. Staying ambitious, organised and open-minded will help you feel more in control of the job hunting process — and more confident you’ll end up in the right place at the end of it.

Job applications are a chance to prove you’re special, but they must also be, and feel, authentic. You’re putting the best version of yourself forward, waving and hoping to be noticed. Always remember: your application is only a doorway to a larger conversation: the job interview. Once you arrive at this next stage, you’ll have the chance to look around, ask questions, and hopefully discover whether your potential employer is offering you everything you need and want. Of course, they’ll have questions and tasks for you too. In the meantime, here are some tips for how to make sure your application is something you can be proud of.
