Description
Applying for a job is a bit of a black box: What are employers actually looking for? How much time do they spend reading your application? And what makes someone stand out when dozens of highly qualified people are applying for the same job?
The truth is that nothing improves your application writing like reading lots (and lots) of applications, therefore this talk provides some insights into how potential selection committees see your applications, what makes them stand out positively and what are mistakes which are easy to avoid.
The goal is not to teach you how to write the “perfect” application, but to help you understand how applications are actually evaluated - and how to make it easier for a hiring committee to see why you might be the right person for the job.
