Hey Tom, I've just read through 44 applications for a position. From that, the advice I would give is that your covering letter for the application is the most important part. Address the selection criteria in the job advert in your cover letter clearly demonstrating with examples how you have met those criteria in past jobs (or even volunteer roles).
For me I look at that first, see if the applicant looks like they can do the job, then check the CV to see if the experience backs up the claims in the cover letter. Oh, and use spell check - a spelling error in the first sentence of an application sets the tone for the reading that follows :-) On 6 June 2017 at 10:34, Dave Walker <rangitat...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > yeah that sounds fine.
