Candidate FAQs
Job hunting is a stressful and time-consuming commitment.

What will I be expected to include in my job application?
You will be expected to include an up-to-date CV that demonstrates how your skills and experience match the role you are applying for, together with a cover letter outlining a brief summary of why you are applying and why you believe you are a good fit. If you would like to apply for more than one position at a time, please make this clear. We prefer to receive applications in Microsoft Word format, so it’s easy to edit/add our branding and logo.
How can I maximise my chances of succeeding in an interview?
Do your research and due diligence! Familiarise yourself with the company and conduct thorough research into what they do, their values, and what differentiates them from their competitors. Read the job description carefully and be prepared to answer questions related to how your experience matches the role description.
