The application process at HAI

Often the first thing that is looked at is the CV – and if this has been drawn up in a properly considered and coherent manner then the first step towards making a successful application is completed.

The application letter setting out why you’re applying provides the opportunity to specify your interests and to state exactly why you are keen to have the job. It should set out clearly what your expectations of the job are, and it should use specific examples to show why you in particular are the right candidate to fill the particular vacancy. Tip: It’s always best to read the application letter twice or to have someone check it for you because typing errors and grammatical mistakes don’t make a good impression.

In the interview itself the candidate will provide the best account of him/herself if he/she has taken the trouble to find out about the company beforehand, and if he/she has thought about the job and is therefore able to ask specific questions – in other words it pays to be well-prepared. To us it’s very important that you are frank and open with us, that you’re true to yourself, and that you behave professionally and have good conversation skills. If you “tick all these boxes” there’s every chance that your application will be successful!
