Derby Talent Programme- 6 Month Software Engineer (Bakewell Office/Hybrid)

Employers are looking for professional applications, or CVs and cover letters, (when requested) in order to progress to the next stage of the recruitment process. To make sure your application or CV is to the right standard and increase your chances of success, we strongly advise you to:

• Read through the job description and identify the skills, qualities and experience required.
• Tailor your application/ CV to these requirements so that the employer can see, clearly, how you meet them. 
• If submitting a CV, clearly structure this and limit to 2 sides.
• Give relevant examples of your skills and experience, using the STAR technique to provide evidence, rather than just providing a list of skills or duties.
• Try and give a broad range of examples which demonstrate your skills etc – these can include extracurricular activity, volunteering and relevant interests, as well as your degree and work experience.

You can learn how to do this by visiting our website which has a wide range of tips, examples, videos and how to guides - www.dby.ac/apply
