Everyone gets the same recruitment advice – so how do you stand out from all the other applicants? 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 creating an outstanding application. The requirements here can vary depending on the employer and the job. Some organisations require a brief cover letter and résumé. Others also need a very detailed cover letter addressing selection criteria, work samples, medical and psychological tests, and a criminal record check. Many government sector jobs are recruited through bureaucratic and lengthy processes.
If testing or an assessment is part of the recruitment process, you'll be informed about how they will be conducted, and by whom. For example, an independent company might be providing online psychological testing.
Step two is the interview. You may only be required at one. Other jobs may involve attendance a second interview, and/or a panal interview. See How can I stand out at the interview? for tips.
