How to make the most of your application.

Here you’ll find everything we’re looking for in your application:


Tips on the online application.

The first impression counts. And you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Here are a few tips on how to do things right and make a good impression on us.

  • Fill out everything on the online form, and don’t make any mistakes.
  • Give us a private email address that you use regularly.
  • Have your application documents ready so you can enter everything quickly.
  • Make your CV short and clear, and make sure it’s up to date.
  • Make sure there are no gaps in your CV. We’re also interested in what you did during the ‘gaps’.
  • Use the online form to send us your CV, your final academic certificate or transcript, and any employment references. We also advise you to send a short cover letter with your application.
  • You can make it much easier for us to look at your application if you merge different documents into a single file.
  • If you want to make a spontaneous application, first check out our website to find out which lines of service and offices might be right for you.
