Our application forms ask for some supporting information that may not be listed on your CV, here’s some useful information to assist you in making the most of these sections.

• Use the text boxes to answer any of our supporting questions, we have a large word count for these boxes so remember to use it to your advantage and sell yourself, we want to get to know you, your skills and motivations!
• Read each question and review your answers before you hit submit.
• Remember you can always come back to your application, take your time to answer the questions and give it some thought.
• You can upload a covering letter at the same time as your CV, this is not always needed as part of your application but is there as an option and some hiring managers like this approach.

• We hold interviews both in person and via video call using MS Teams and try to be as flexible as possible.
• If your interview is in person, look up the location of your interview well before time allow yourself enough time to get there. It might sound obvious, but have you checked the route? Can I get there in time? Is there parking? What’s the closest bus route?
• Our Head Office has loads of free onsite parking but not all of our branches do, so it’s best to check before you travel.
• For MS Teams interviews, ensure that you’re in the lobby in good time for the start of your interview. Check what’s in the background, is there something lurking that you wouldn’t want your interviewer to see?
• Remember the name of your interviewer, it’s a simple first impression but it will go a long way.
• Dress to impress, we don’t expect you to arrive ‘suited and booted’ however, looking your best will also help to give you that extra bit of confidence. Even on a MS Teams interview, it’s a good idea to do the same, the top half of you at least.
• Do your research. Have a look around our website for information about who we are and what we do. We’re not expecting you to be able to list everything about us but a few snippets of information are always well received and it shows that you’re genuinely interested in a role. Think about some questions that you would like to have answered. An interview is as much about us impressing you as it is the other way around, so feel free to give us a grilling!  

• Your interviewer should give you a time frame of when you should expect to hear back from us as they may have other interviews planned over the coming weeks.
• We aim to get feedback to you as soon as practically possible, we will make you aware of the outcome whether you are successful or not.  

• Please contact us as soon as possible on recruitment@fredolsen.co.uk to let us know if you can’t make the interview.
