Expert Advice: Impressing on application forms

The application form is a requirement of almost all graduate positions and acts as extension of your CV. This is where you will provide parts of your CV, a covering letter, and sometimes additional questions about yourself and the role. The form is a decisive component in the first stage of the process so let all your best aspects shine through! 

Once you have successfully passed through the application stage you may be invited to an interview or an assessment centre. To help you through this process, we have created two more detailed ‘How To’ clips courtesy of our marketing manager, Ben Triggs.
