Guidance on Completing the Application Form / CV

Applicants who are interested in applying must respond by completing an application form or submitting a CV with a covering letter.

Applications/CVs that are not completed to the guidelines set out below will not be processed.

CVs

Applicants submitting a CV will still need to complete a Recruitment Monitoring/Additional Information Form.  This provides Slough Borough Council with important information to process the appointment of individuals  under current legislation.  A covering letter must be attached to the CV that clearly outlines the position you are applying for, the job reference number and any other criteria that may support your application.

Application Forms

Applicants submitting an application form will find the Recruitment Monitoring/Additional Information Form at the back of the application.

Process on Completing CVs/Application Forms

Particular attention should be given when addressing the Supporting Information within the application form/CV. Shortlisting is based on the candidate’s ability to meet the selection criteria within the person specification. Therefore, it is essential that you outline clear examples and evidence of how you meet the requirements of the person specification.
