The task of applying for a job can go deeper than it seems, offering insights into your life journey so far and a route map for the way ahead
Applying for a job is a curious business. It can be prompted by a host of different reasons –a desire to belong somewhere new, a need for adventure, better pay or more security. It could be a search for a new challenge, or sheer necessity, that has you scanning the job ads. Whatever your reason, it can be nerve-racking as well as stimulating, filling in long application forms that ask about your full work history, aspirations and, occasionally, your deeper life ambitions. It’s natural to be left feeling frazzled, regardless of whether your application secures you an interview.
