Afternoon all
This is the first job i've applied for in nearly fourteen years so feel a bit like a fish out of water.
I'm currently a senior partner's secretary for a law firm but because of all the legal aid cuts, no wage rise in 8 years, generally feeling demotivated and despondent and going into work every week even wondering if i'm going to get paid at the end of it, I am starting to look round. I want to get out of legal. I like where I work (been there 14 years) but i'm in a rut.
I've seen a job advertised that I know I could do standing on my head but it's a government job in a primary school with a standardised application form of the type that i've never filled in before. I've always worked in the private sector, just sent in my CV and interviews have always been really informal.
I know there will be hundreds applying for this job. A new school is opening and they need a receptionist/administrator. It's term time (massively appealing), it doesn't sound like it's anywhere near as stressful or demanding as my job is and the money is slightly less but I really I really like the sound of it.
Can anybody give me any tips on what to put in the supporting information, skills knowledge and experience, there is just a big gap at the minute of two A4 pages! Says you have to give examples of how you match the requirements of the job. I'm really rubbish at wording these things.Can anyone help?
