The guides
Application form questions: what the sift is scoring, with worked answers
The questions UK application forms ask, with worked written answers — motivation in 250 words, STAR on paper, strengths questions, and the sift explained.
Supporting statements: the questions yours has to answer, worked
What a supporting statement must answer — person specification mapping, values evidence, and worked paragraphs for NHS, council, and charity applications.
Situational judgement test questions: how the marking actually thinks
Situational judgement test questions worked through option by option — civil service and graduate scheme scenarios, and how the scoring actually decides.
Following up on a job application: the chase that helps, not harms
How to follow up on a job application — the chase email, the phone script, the feedback ask after a no, and when to leave it. Worked examples throughout.
Take the next step with your own application.
