First, make sure the job grade and qualification requirements match your profile. Second, use your CV to show evidence relevant to the role.

Administrative applicants should emphasise measurable experience in their functional area.
Third, make sure employment dates, academic qualifications and professional registration details are consistent across your CV and the online form. Small inconsistencies can create unnecessary problems during verification.

- Prepare clear digital copies of certificates and transcripts.
- Check professional registration and practising licence validity where required.
