Top Tips

• 

  Chase up your job applications.

  Make sure everything has been received okay. Mistakes do happen sometimes when companies are recruiting and CVs can get lost. If you follow it up, this will demonstrate that you can use your initiative and this will make you stand out from the rest of the applications.

  Be as flexible as possible...

  The more flexible you are about the first IT position you take, the more opportunities are going to be available to you. Remember, once you have just three months experience on your cv, the positions available to you will increase significantly.
