Finding Work
Job hunting is a competitive activity, and employers are looking for the applicants who offer the most to them. It is also an evidence based process. They seek information about the things you have done in the past because that provides evidence that you will be able to use that skill, quality or knowledge again in the future.
When applying for jobs make sure you follow the employers instructions. They will usually state how they want you to apply; make sure you do what they want, provide all the information they ask for and meet any deadlines they set.
Make Sure You:
- Know what you have to offer
- Research the company and the job
- Be clear why you want it
- Research the selection process and prepare for it
