Check Beam employer partner alerts
Beam employer partners have personally chosen to work with Beam in order to find great candidates. You have a higher chance of receiving an interview and we can offer you more specific preparation for these roles
Set up job alerts:
When applying
Make sure your CV is tailored to the job description and role
Create multiple CVs with small tweaks such as the job role, skills listed and experience depending on the role you are applying for
Write a draft of your application form out in Microsoft Word or Google Docs
Have a friend, family member or support worker check your application and/or CV before summiting for any role
After you have applied
Follow up with a polite email if the feedback date has passed
If you’re unsuccessful, politely contact the employer asking for feedback
Check your junk email folder for replies that might be in there by mistake
