Job Application and Cover Letters
In many cases the start of the recruitment process will be to complete an application form which will ask specific questions to test your suitability for the role and to understand your experience, knowledge, skills and competencies.
In order to get through to an interview stage it is important that time is spent on any application to ensure you answer everything that is being asked in a succinct way.
Cover letters are also an important part of the recruitment process and give you an additional opportunity to draw further attention to your unique selling points and why you are suitable for the role.
We have outlined a number of areas to think about both when completing job application forms and when drafting cover letters and we have also included some template cover letters for you to use.
It has been a pleasure to work with Gemma at Nextsteps over the last few months. She has helped me during what has been an incredibly difficult time and her support has been invaluable.
​
Gemma helped me to build confidence, find some direction, and discover the things that drive me, looking at what I want to achieve in life. She then assisted me in putting plans in place to make them happen.
