What makes an applicant stand out in the application process to help them progress through the application.

Hi, Very good question! There are many ways for your application to stand out when it comes to applying to an apprenticeship. I think the first step is to ensure your CV is tailored to the role and the company you are applying to work for. If your CV is not tailored to the role and you just send a vague CV, you won't stand out. There are different things you can do whether that is design your CV in the company colours, displaying your working style in line with the companies values, make your cover letter more personalised. Be creative, Be bold, Be you! As cliche as it sounds your personality should be expressed through your CV and cover letter. I hope this helps!
