Guidelines on completing the application form General points Please complete the application form in black ink or type. We use this application form to decide whether you will be given an interview so please fill it in very carefully. We can’t interview everyone who applies for a post. CVs Please complete all sections of the application form. Only applications made on the form are accepted, we do not accept CVs alone although you may attach a CV to a completed form to give additional information. Information in support of your application This is probably the most important part of the application form. Selection for interview will be made on how well you demonstrate you meet the criteria in the person specification and job description. Read through the job description and person specification and think of an example (or two examples) from your present or most recent job that show you have the required knowledge/skill/experience. You may also use experience from voluntary work, academic work or hobbies. Say what you were trying to achieve and why. Describe your role, don’t say “we”, say what you did. Say what the outcome was. Did you achieve what you set out to do? Were there any problems and how did you overcome them? Could you have done things differently, with less resources or in less time? If you are unemployed or have been out of paid employment for some time, or have just left school/college/university, you may wish to include relevant experience from voluntary work or education. Do continue on additional sheets if necessary. Referees One referee must be your present or most recent employer. If you are currently self-employed you may use a client as a referee. If you are still in full time education and applying for your first job, please give details of someone in authority from an educational establishment. We will not approach your referees until after we have interviewed you. You may indicate whether we need to contact you before we approach your referee. Criminal convictions
