One vacancy, one clear application

Found a job you want? Start with the vacancy.

Focus your real experience on what one Irish employer needs. You do not have to rewrite everything or pretend to meet every requirement.

Prepare with confidence

From a busy advert to a useful plan.

  1. Understand the vacancy

    Pick out the work, skills, schedule and documents the employer actually asks for.

  2. Match your real experience

    Bring forward the work and skills that fit. If something is missing, say so rather than hiding it.

  3. Prepare your words

    Create a focused CV version, a short cover note and truthful points to discuss in an interview.

  4. Review before you apply

    Check names, dates, contact details and every claim. You decide what to use and where to send it.

Bring what you have

Useful before you begin

  • The vacancy text or a link to the vacancy
  • Your current CV, if you have one
  • Real work dates, tasks, skills and certificates
  • Your honest availability and language level

Missing something? You can still begin and note what needs checking.
