Now that you are familiar with the recruitment process, it's time to focus on the actual application so that you can stand out from the competition. To be successful, you need to know how to present your enthusiasm, knowledge and skills in your application and at the interview.
Step one in the process is to create an outstanding application. The requirements here can vary depending on the employer and the job. Some organisations require a brief cover letter to accompany your resume. Others, namely government departments, need a very detailed document addressing certain selection criteria.
Step two is the interview. If you are applying through an agency, you will probably meet the recruiter first and, based on your performance, they will decide whether or not to put you forward for an interview with the employer. Some employers may call you in for a second interview, or ask you to attend a panel interview – so it pays to know what to expect.
