My application / Application walk through

I'm going to be honest and say I've been very wary about posting this until now, because I'm very conscious that plagiarising systems are used to check individual applications to make sure they haven't been copied off of another applicant or off of previous applicants, but now that applications have closed and pre-screen interview dates have been sent out I feel more comfortable in sharing my application for future reference for those who are stuck on what to write! :)

Okay, so to start I am a British applicant (as I've probably previously mentioned) therefore I applied through Yummy Jobs!  If you're not British and you're looking at how to apply to can click here to find out how you can apply for your country!

The application process is fairly simple. You create a Yummy Jobs account and open an application, where you'll in put personal details such as name, date of birth, next of kin etc. You will then have to upload a passport photograph. This IS NOT an actual passport photograph! It just needs to be a very recent photograph which is an exact likeness of what you look like right now, taken with a white or light background and must be of your head and shoulders. Mine looks like this:

It really isn't the greatest photo ever (especially as there is white paint in my hair that I didn't notice when I initially uploaded it) - but it is a strong likeness to what I look like now.

Next, you add your education and work experience. But don't forget - you have to upload your CV as well so these sections don't have to be too lengthy!

Next are a few questions! The first is about your views on cultural exchange. This was my answer (although I still hate it and found it very difficult to put this into words)

Next is a Final Comments box, which I know a few people were struggling with. I decided to use it as a way to fit in anything I hadn't managed to say in my cover letter so mine (beware of cheese) read:

The last question, is "what were your motivations for applying". My answer is below:

Again: plagiarising detectors are used so please only use these answers as references and don't attempt to copy anything.
