The letter of application can be as important as the CV because it is the first direct contact between a candidate for a position and an employer. This letter must be well written and presented to make a good impression. The letter of application normally contains four parts in which you should:
– confirm that you wish to get the job and say where you learned about the vacancy;
– say why you are interested in this position and your interests are the same as those of the company;
– show that you can contribute to the job by highlighting your skills and experience;
– indicate your willingness to attend an interview (and possibly say when you would be free to attend).

Applicants for employment are invariably interviewed (usually in the Personal Department) before any job offer is made. The aim of the interview is not only to assess the suitability of the candidate for the vacant position, but also to give the applicant the opportunity to seek further information about the job. During the interview the applicants may be required to complete an aptitude test designed to assess their suitability for the job available.
The interview is crucial for the applicant because it is at this time that the interviewer assesses the candidate’s appearance, ability to communicate and general manner. Consequently, it is important to be thoroughly prepared for the interview.

Although a certain percentage of graduates will still be unemployed six months after leaving university, the majority will have found employment by then. Many of these will even have been offered a job while at university, as a result of visiting a job fair.
Job fairs are held at many universities each year. Companies come along to advertise jobs, which are usually in management, and the career structures and benefit packages that go with them. Job fairs are an effective way for undergraduates to find out what kind of job they might be interested in.
If you go to a job fair, dress professionally. Don’t wear jeans and a T-shirt. Wear a suit! You don’t want to look irresponsible when you have your first meeting with your potential employer. If you’re interested in a job on offer, you may have to fill out an application form, so it’s helpful to take along relevant information with you. You’ll also need proof of all your qualifications, so don’t forget to take photocopies of all your certificates with you.
