Hi All,
I have been lucky in the past in that I've never had to fill out an application form for a job. My previous jobs I got via recruitment agencies. Therefore I'm having problems phrasing my answers the best way.
Mainly the form asks me to - Please demonstrate by using examples of how you meet each of the criteria specified in the advert.
Two of the criteria would be...
explain complex concepts in a non technical manner
ability to manage multiple tasks with shifting priorities
My question is how do I phrase this? Is it as simply as putting "An example of when I managed multiple tasks would be when ........" Or should I write something like "A situation arose when .......... in dealing with this situation I had to explain complex concepts to upper management using a non technical manner".
Basically what I am asking is it better to do it in a point format or in an "essay" format.
Many thanks
Gareth
