Public sector jobs are some of the most rewarding communities as what you are working on directly impacts the lives of others. There are many different jobs, whether in a civil servant role or something more specific like teaching.

The most important part of the process is to read the job description and personal specifications. From there, you can pull on areas of your life and career history to give you the best chance of meeting the requirements of your chosen position. 

Tailoring your CV to reflect your willingness to enhance the lives of others can help secure a position in these fields. Remember, your CV is the first impression an employer gets of you, so make yourself stand out and don’t be tripped up by spelling mistakes.

An interview is your chance to expand on your CV and add personal context to the written overview. Interviews can be intimidating, but you should take confidence from the fact that the employer has already seen something they like in you; just breathe, relax and be yourself.
