Making a strong first impression

Clear, informative and well-structured application documents provide an important foundation for a successful application. They should present your career history, qualifications and experience in a way that is easy to follow.

If it has been several years since your last application, you may find it helpful to explore current approaches to presentation and layout. Many careers websites offer ideas and examples.

Use subtle design elements to give your documents a clear structure and make them visually appealing. Avoid unnecessary information and elaborate graphics that distract from the essential content.
