Written Application: 1st impressions count

Some general tips on completing a your written application:

  • Allow yourself plenty of time and carefully complete each section.
  • You can complete the written application over a period of time, but be aware the written application web-page can ‘time out’ if left open for too long, so it’s a good idea to save any progress rather than just leaving the page open.
  • Remember you only get one chance to make a good impression. Our assessors will read your written application before viewing your video application, so ensure you grab our attention in your written application.
  • All answers in the written application are mandatory - your entry is not considered complete if any fields are not filled-out.
  • Don’t waffle! Be selective, concise and relevant in your answers. When it comes to editing, remember the art of triple distillation - plan, write and review.
  • Put thought into your answers, using examples from all aspects of your work, academic and social life to convince us why you have that ‘Serious Character’ we are looking for.
  • If you are struggling to find responses to some of the questions, step back for a moment and ask yourself if this role and this graduate programme is really something you want to do.
  • Be honest. We will be using your application form as a reference during interviews, if you reach the Assessment Centre stage of the selection process.
