Guidelines for completing the application form

Please complete all sections of the form as fully as you can. Please read through the job description and person specification and ensure that your application give details of how you meet our requirements.

In the About You section, it is very important that you give full examples of how you meet each of the criteria within the person specification e.g. it is not enough to put in your application – ‘I have the ability to prioritise’ A better example might be ‘My current job means I need to work to deadlines. So I often have to amend my workload and prioritise my work to ensure deadlines are met. I use various methods to make sure my work is not late and I keep an action plan with timings.’ This is only one small example of how you would demonstrate you can do something rather than just say you can do it.

Remember we are as interested in your character and values and your approach as much as your skills. And these ‘softer’ aspects of you need be evidenced in action as well – examples of things you have done or problems you have solved and why you did them that way

Please, do not think only in terms of your job. Many person specification examples can be sought from other areas of your life i.e. at home, during your education or your life outside work.

If possible, ask someone to read through the person spec and your application for you to check that you have filled in each section as fully as possible and you have not missed anything out.

Please type and then email your application back to us whenever possible. You can use extra sheets.

Good luck and thank you for your interest in joining Grapevine.
