[QUOTE="AlegalA, post: 192564, member: 32382"] Hey guys! I need advice for DAC Beachcroft application. I'm really confused about the layout. On the first page, they have three boxes fill in. The first on is called "personal summary" and is described as "your personal summary is your opportunity to summarise your key skills and achievements and include positive words that describe you as a person. Highlight the roles you have held and your key achievements to date. Avoid anything that narrows down your options too much unless you are only applying to very specific roles". The second is "interest and hobbies", described as "We understand people have a range of hobbies outside their working lives - let us know what you do in your spare time". And the third is to do with personal and professional referees. None of these have a word count. On the second page, we are requested to upload our CV. The "instructions" on their website only say: [LIST] [*]The application window closes on 31st January 2025 – to apply you will need to upload a current CV [/LIST] I'm confused mostly about the first question to be honest. I can obviously take out my interest and hobbies from my CV and expand on them in the text box, given they're not a huge part of it, but isn't the first question asking about what I've written in my CV? Also, given there's no word count what would you recommend I aim for? Any advice would be amazing [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] , or if anyone's gone through their app process and has any insight, that would be super helpful! Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
