Tips and Tricks to Help you Put Forward the Best
Job Application
2
Applying for a new job can be a daunting task!
You really only have one shot to put your best
foot forward and impress the hiring manager.
3
Make sure that you spend time reading the job ad
and you've checked the required experience
matches your background. A lot of dealership
roles will generally require previous experience
in a similar role and applying to a job you are
not suitable for can have a negative impact on
further applications with the same business.
4
Instead, reach out to the hiring manager or
recruiter with a general request to review your
details to see if they can slot you in to another
position within the business.
5
When submitting your resume, you may need to make
minor changes to ensure that what you submit
highlights relevant responsibilities and unique
selling points. You may like to add to your
responsibilities details of how you achieved
success with meeting those responsibilities.
6
Resumes that are a one size fits all may not
work, so try to tailor it to the role by using
keywords from the ad. Take ownership of your
achievements with statements like I did and I
achieved.

• Remember these key points
• List your achievements
• Deliver facts and figures
• Volunteer experience speaks for your character

8

• Be easily contactable (recruiters and employers
  are time poor)
• Keep contact details up to date
• Proofread, proofread, proofread!

When you feel like your resume is ready, leave it
for an hour and come back to it. Check over it
one last time, looking for spelling mistakes,
typos and missing words.
