How do I apply for a job?

When you find a job vacancy that is suitable, the advertisement will tell you how to apply for the position and the name of a person to contact for more details. Your application will usually require:

• a cover letter stating the position you wish to apply for and why you should be considered for the position based on your skills, experience and qualifications
• a resume showing your personal details (name, address, phone numbers, email address etc), skills, previous jobs and experience, education and qualifications
• copies of references from previous employers, or details on how to contact them on your resume
• copies of educational and trade certificates relevant to the job
