• Read the job description all the way through before you start your application - it tells you exactly what we're  looking for.
• Explain how you meet each of the criteria in the job description - give examples.
• Don’t just tell us about the jobs you have had.  We are interested in you, so tell us about all the skills and experience you have, wherever you got them from.
• We’re interested in more than your academic record, so tell us about informal training you’ve done as well as your qualifications.
• Take your time.  It’s not always easy to get your message across on paper, so make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to complete a really good application
• Check and double check what you have written, or  get someone else to check it for you.  An application full of typing mistakes probably won’t make a great first impression.
• If you really want the job, let us know!
