- Show your computer skills. List exactly what you can do in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Mention filing and data capturing. School admin, church records, volunteering or part-time work all count.
- Send one tidy email. Attach PDFs, not photos, and keep the size small.
- Keep proof. Save your sent email, or ask for a stamped receipt if you hand deliver.
What happens after you apply
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Shortlisted candidates may be asked for certified documents and will go through security vetting, which is normal for Defence posts. Government posts can take a few months to fill, so keep applying while you wait.
