How to apply: a step-by-step checklist

The article covers what the roles involve. This page is the practical part: where the real vacancies are posted and how to apply without wasting time.

  1. 1

    Pick two or three job titles from the article that match your experience, and use those exact titles when you search.

  2. 2

    Search the official job boards below for your area. Filter by location and by "posted in the last 7 days" so you only see live vacancies.

  3. 3

    Read the job description and the person specification, then adjust your CV so it answers each requirement in the employer's own words.

  4. 4

    Apply on the job board or on the employer's own website. Keep a note of each application and the closing date.

  5. 5

    If you have heard nothing after one to two weeks, a short, polite follow-up message is fine.
