Waitrose application form help?

dragonfliesdragonflies


On the application form it says 'Give an example of an achievement that you are proud of, either at school or in your working life?' and 'Please provide any additional information to support your application, including appropriate experience and achievements'. Im kind of confused as to what to write. Can someone give me some examples or something to help me? Thanks x

Your parents or teachers would be best placed to assist here.

they are looking for example(s) of you doing and gaining something . anything from getting 'a' levels to gaining a medal or certificate in something. helping outside school for example in a voluntary capacity. they want written or corroborative information ( in case you try making it all up) eg references ,names, dates and a Definition of what you think are achievements.

for example we may have come from a deprived background or a single parent family etc we now say how we managed and in what form and steps we took to get to a 'goal' we set ourselves .

try and think back and look at self as though you were in fact an outsider looking over your shoulder and see if you can write a list of things you did achieve . select those you can add further 'proof' or information to etc.

eg I went and climbed a mountain when I was 13. ( add a picture of you at top off) give dates ,say why it was hard , the struggle to get to top and determination to succeed.

all this si simply a way of them being able to get an oversight into your personality and try and determine if you will be a valuable addition to their workforce. eg team player. goal achiever , ( sort of go getter ) as opposed to somebody who simply did minimum and simply went through school process.

Job applications are always gruelling - how should you fill them out? Should you chase them up when there is no response? I guess there's no one solution but the website in the box below has some superb instruction about this. It certainly helped me when I was completing job applications recently, also they have extra advice on job seeking.
