You will be asked a number of questions based around your CV so that we can gain an understanding of your background, qualifications, work experience, interests and achievements.

Take the time to fill this out carefully. The application form is broken down into a number of sections and can be saved and returned to at any time before the applications close. You will also be able to view a PDF of your application form so that you can ensure that you are happy with the form before you send it.

Tips on filling out your application form

Allow yourself plenty of time to complete the application
Carefully complete each section - this is your first opportunity to make a good impression
All questions are compulsory and you will not be able to proceed without completing these fields
The answers you give in the application form will serve as the basis for your interview - keep a copy of your form and expect to talk in depth about the points you raise
Be selective, concise and relevant in your answers
Think about what the question is asking and try to use examples from all aspects of your academic, working and social life to convince us that you are ready for the kinds of responsibilities, relationships and tasks that we expect from our employees
Use a different example for each question
Ask a friend to proof read your form before you submit it
If you are struggling to find a response to the questions, it is in your own best interest to step back and ask yourself whether this is really the kind of career you want and are suited for
