Match your background to the requirements

Check the type and length of experience requested. Make relevant roles easy to find with consistent start and end dates, then explain your own responsibilities. Label internships, practical training and volunteering accurately so the recruiter can distinguish them from other employment.
Check any licence or professional registration mentioned in the requirements, including its category and validity. Confirm the wording against your own documents. Do not assume that a pending application or a different licence category meets the advertised condition.
