This was a pretty informative session about applications; we looked through a few real application forms for a job at Leeds College of Art and had to pick out which ones we thought would be selected.
I believe I learned a lot of important things about being able to apply my experiences at uni to a professional setting and be able to sell myself to someone. I had never really thought about applications this in-depth and although it seems obvious I didn't realise that it's best to back up what you're saying with an example from your experience and really obviously point out that you meet the employers criteria.
Another important thing was to NOT LIE ON YOUR APPLICATIONS, you can embellish your own experiences a little but don't lie because it's not worth it; you will get caught.
I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned when I apply for jobs, whether in the creative field or just a regular employment experience.
