Online application
Most employers prefer applications to be submitted online rather than by post. Applications are usually submitted by e-mail or via a company’s online application portal.
You should include the same content and adhere to the same conventions for online applications as you would for a paper application. In addition, you should note the following for online applications:
- Make sure you use a sensible e-mail address.
- Refer to the job advertisement in the subject of your e-mail.
- Use short, succinct file names for attachments.
- Only use common file formats, ideally pdf.
- Make sure your files are not too large; a single file should be no larger than 2 MB.
- If an attachment is too large it is better to split it into several documents.
