The Job Application Manual
Show recruiters what you’re really capable of.
On the Monday following my final exam I walked into Cricket Australia as a full-time employee. Now I’m sharing with you the exact process I used to prepare myself for the applications that have transformed my career.
After completing the manual you will:
Feel confident at every point of applying and interviewing for jobs, from conducting your research to planning your interview exit strategy
Know how to deliver a ‘Personal Pitch’ that clearly articulates your ambition, and answers their questions in advance
Be able to fluently appeal to a recruiter by understanding what sporting organisations are looking for and how you match it
Consistently produce a tailored cover letter, CV and ‘Personal Pitch’ based on smart data points collected in the job description and research
Be able to succinctly and impressively answer any question by knowing how to best script your responses
Understand every aspect of your work experience and be able to call on your strongest example in every question
Know how to sell yourself by focusing 5 key elements that demonstrate your capacity to fill the role, and your potential to do it better than anyone else
“If there's one reason why I would recommend SportsGrad over any other career development service I've received in the past, it would be due to the fact that you'll actually learn how to portray your experiences and sell yourself in a way that it is impossible for the employer to reject you.
Although I low-key wish nobody else knew the industry secrets Reuben shares, I highly recommend this service whether you're looking at landing your first full-time job or taking your career to the next level!”
