ucasEntryStartMonthsOnline recruitment has grown rapidly over the years and has proved advantageous to both recruiters and applicants. A good, tailored online application requires the same advance preparation as a targeted CV or a hard copy form, but may be harder to check. AccessA registration password will allow you to save and return to online forms so that they can be completed and submitted when you are ready. You may be required to undertake a timed test online. Make sure that you are focused and prepared. Go to psychometric tests if you want to take practice tests online. back to top StyleFormality in your application is still a must. Make time to check it through and ensure it is effectively targeted to the position and employer. It is often possible to copy the questions into MS Word. Plan your answers in a Word document (or similar) and get them checked for content and style by a careers adviser in advance. Sometimes the online form will restrict you to a particular font style and size. Be aware of this when you draft your answer. back to top AccuracyGrammar and spelling again! Even if you cannot access spell-check facilities on the site, you can download the text into MS Word and spell-check it there. back to top Personality profiling Some application forms include multiple-choice questions about your likes, strengths and preferences. These can be used to identify whether your preferred style of working fits with the culture of the organisation and the skills they require. Be as honest as possible - there may be repeats of questions to ensure your answers are consistent and some questions that test whether you are trying to make a favourable impression. Select Simulator is an online resource designed to help graduates understand and be confident in making online applications.
