00:00:00
have you been finding it difficult to
00:00:02
get NHS job interviews or you're not
00:00:05
just getting as many interviews as you
00:00:08
anticipate despite the fact that you
00:00:11
sending so many
00:00:13
applications this is why hi everyone my
00:00:16
name is christe in this video I'm going
00:00:19
to be showing you step by step how to
00:00:22
write an outstanding personal supporting
00:00:24
information the supporting information
00:00:27
aspect of your application is the part
00:00:29
the end
00:00:30
interviewers or managers hiring managers
00:00:33
focuses on that is the part if you seen
00:00:36
my last videos that's the part that is
00:00:38
crucial because that is the part that is
00:00:41
usually red now I have it opened here on
00:00:44
my screen so that you can see all what
00:00:47
it's about and how to write it step by
00:00:50
step so just follow this video from
00:00:52
beginning to end I'll give you a couple
00:00:54
of minutes to click that subscribe
00:00:57
button below and give this video a like
00:01:00
share it with people who are struggling
00:01:02
with the same problem because I've
00:01:04
received this request over and over
00:01:06
again so clearly a lot of people have
00:01:08
difficulty when it comes to writing or
00:01:10
selling themselves on paper that's what
00:01:13
I call it now you can see here we have
00:01:16
already in the previous video gone
00:01:17
through how to write the personal
00:01:21
information um qualifications we went
00:01:24
through all that in the previous videos
00:01:26
which I could link if you need that here
00:01:30
and now we have gotten to the part
00:01:32
called the supporting information in
00:01:34
this section you will need to
00:01:36
demonstrate that you have read the
00:01:38
published person specification what is
00:01:40
this person specification if I may ask
00:01:44
it is it is the part that where the
00:01:46
employer provides a do document of what
00:01:50
they need exactly the kind of
00:01:52
characteristics or qualities you should
00:01:54
have if you apply for this job and that
00:01:58
document don't ever skip it it's very
00:02:00
important because people just use a
00:02:02
generic application and just keep
00:02:04
applying for hundreds of job but always
00:02:06
go to the person specification let me
00:02:08
show you what it looks like okay this is
00:02:11
the job description and person
00:02:13
specification so always go there and
00:02:15
make sure you look through to see what
00:02:19
the employer really wants what do they
00:02:22
want so go through it and look through
00:02:26
so that you can include some of those
00:02:29
things that they want those key
00:02:31
statements those key words or phrases in
00:02:34
your application always tweak each
00:02:37
application don't just use a generic
00:02:39
application for many many that's just
00:02:42
send out bul application using just to
00:02:46
one one of your application without
00:02:48
tweaking anything in the supporting
00:02:51
information that will get you nowhere
00:02:53
that is the reason why you have not been
00:02:54
getting enough job interviews so that's
00:02:58
what you do in this section you
00:02:59
practically sell yourself and they read
00:03:01
they often read it so they have stated
00:03:05
here that please include your reasons
00:03:08
for applying and take the opportunity to
00:03:11
highlight your particular talents and
00:03:14
strengths and what is unique about you
00:03:17
what sets you apart from your pairs why
00:03:20
should we thank you for this job you
00:03:22
know you because when you do a good job
00:03:25
here you have the tendency higher
00:03:27
tendency of getting an interview then
00:03:30
you can meet them in person and further
00:03:32
sell yourself that is why this part is
00:03:35
critical do not please do not include
00:03:39
personal details or duplicate
00:03:41
information already provided elsewhere
00:03:44
in your application that is that is
00:03:47
important it's an important statement
00:03:49
because in your application you've
00:03:50
already stated that um you did this uh
00:03:54
you you got um you have BSC let's say BC
00:03:58
management or you have B in nursing or
00:04:01
you have BC as a biomedical
00:04:03
scientist just don't don't necessarily
00:04:06
dwell on that here highlight those
00:04:09
things that make you unique more here so
00:04:14
it's like a Microsoft Word page and if
00:04:17
you can see down here you see a g that
00:04:21
is because I have included I have
00:04:24
downloaded a software called grammarly
00:04:27
try that it will help you because it
00:04:29
corrects your spelling mistakes trust me
00:04:31
you don't want typos all over the place
00:04:34
in this this essay because that's what
00:04:38
it is now you have a maximum word count
00:04:41
of
00:04:42
1,500 so you can write that much
00:04:45
anywhere between 800 to 1,000 1,500 is
00:04:50
fine just make sure you do a good job in
00:04:53
selling yourself now
00:04:55
basically when you're applying for NHS
00:04:58
job interviews the important part is the
00:05:01
supporting information which we have
00:05:03
here now the recruiters use this part to
00:05:07
short list and if you don't make the
00:05:09
short list you will not be invited so
00:05:11
just have a format in your head there's
00:05:14
a format I built that of course you know
00:05:17
a good essay should start with an
00:05:20
introduction so let me write
00:05:22
introduction
00:05:24
here you don't necessarily have to write
00:05:26
introduction I'm just trying to show you
00:05:29
what I mean start with an
00:05:31
introduction at some point you should
00:05:33
State your qualification state it in a
00:05:35
unique way that makes you
00:05:37
outstanding so your qualification also
00:05:40
State your experience do you have years
00:05:43
of experience that be be a good time to
00:05:46
state that you have up to 8 years of
00:05:48
experience we which makes you a good
00:05:52
candidate and also State the things you
00:05:55
have done like have you used have you
00:05:58
worked in a unique place or have you
00:06:00
used um unique Machinery automation use
00:06:04
also include that then you state your
00:06:07
skills also State the skills that set
00:06:10
you apart okay I'll take this gradually
00:06:13
so that if you're writing you can watch
00:06:15
the video to the end come back to it and
00:06:18
then follow the steps gradually that I
00:06:20
lay out here so first thing you need to
00:06:24
know is that when you're introducing
00:06:26
yourself have a striking statement so so
00:06:30
what I personally do is I write it like
00:06:32
in form of a letter not just stating uh
00:06:37
I am you don't just go saying my name is
00:06:40
Jane Mark and I have
00:06:43
no just make it make it sound like make
00:06:48
it sound unique make it sound
00:06:51
different let me give you a good
00:06:54
introduction okay let me think of one so
00:06:57
I go what I personally do is I go to the
00:07:00
page to the initial page where you have
00:07:03
the job in um advert rather where you
00:07:07
have the job advert you see where they
00:07:09
write a contact person to contact in
00:07:11
case you need more information so I just
00:07:14
write
00:07:16
dear dear whoever is the contact person
00:07:19
let me just say um James dear
00:07:23
James forget about de Mr James Mrs Mrs
00:07:27
this uh remember remember that you're
00:07:30
speaking to whites and mostly they are
00:07:32
on a first name basis in most
00:07:36
organizations so just write Dear James
00:07:38
dear Helen so you it's like in form of a
00:07:42
letter but it just makes it different
00:07:45
from what most people would offer so you
00:07:48
you start up with um that you are glad
00:07:52
you glad or you excited or you're
00:07:55
delighted to see that um there's a
00:07:57
vacancy available in you mention the
00:08:02
trust you see why you have to tweak
00:08:04
every single time so you write you are
00:08:07
glad to see that or you glad to see the
00:08:10
recent advert in s so trust let me just
00:08:15
say in Mar and Jill trust so any trust
00:08:19
you're
00:08:20
writing you're planning to apply to you
00:08:23
have to go and edit your supporting
00:08:24
information to have the trust name in it
00:08:28
it makes it like unique to the trust so
00:08:32
you make that part as your introduction
00:08:35
introduction
00:08:36
intro so when you write that you are
00:08:39
delighted and to to see the recent
00:08:42
advice in Social trust you state who you
00:08:46
are no need to state your name because
00:08:48
your name has been stated in your
00:08:50
personal information clearly so no need
00:08:52
to State I am Mrs Christie no no no
00:08:56
that's not necessary you can just say um
00:09:00
I'm a biomedical scientist which all you
00:09:03
all know I am I'm a biomedical scientist
00:09:06
I'm a nurse with relevant experience in
00:09:08
this this this this this if you're a
00:09:11
mental mental mental canos for instance
00:09:15
you write that if you are a biomedical
00:09:18
scientist you write you are a biomedical
00:09:20
scientist with an extensive experience
00:09:23
you working in this place this place
00:09:25
this place so a brief introduction like
00:09:28
that so you state when you state that
00:09:31
it's catching one it's most likely the
00:09:33
contact person person is part of the
00:09:36
people who would
00:09:38
review um your de who will short list so
00:09:42
if you have money to get his name here
00:09:44
or her name here you would you like if
00:09:47
you like a step ahead of some other
00:09:49
people I've tried this several times and
00:09:52
it worked for me you all know that I got
00:09:55
three jobs not only did I did I get
00:09:59
seven interviews within 3 weeks amongst
00:10:02
in the first four interviews I got three
00:10:06
jobs so this trust me this is a method
00:10:08
that is tried and
00:10:10
trusted so when you state that as an
00:10:13
introduction you are biomedical
00:10:16
scientist you have ex um extensive
00:10:18
experience in this this this working in
00:10:21
this this this
00:10:23
this you would now State what you are
00:10:25
proficient in and proficient in the use
00:10:28
of this this this this this this is all
00:10:32
still part of the intro I'm Proficiency
00:10:35
in the use I'm proficient rather in the
00:10:37
use of laboratory it application I'm
00:10:41
technically sound I have the ability you
00:10:43
see the kind of words I'm using those
00:10:45
are the words that should fall into your
00:10:47
personal supporting
00:10:49
information so that's the intro part and
00:10:53
then you would love to bring all of
00:10:54
these expertise to their organization
00:10:57
that's how you conclude your
00:11:00
introduction now you move to the next
00:11:03
part after introduction you see I gave a
00:11:05
space after in introduction you move to
00:11:09
the paragraph 2 second
00:11:16
paragraph So second paragraph now you st
00:11:21
the opportunity to join your
00:11:22
organization you know the opportunity to
00:11:26
join your your I'm just I'm just
00:11:28
thinking right now the opportunity to
00:11:31
join your organization is vital or the
00:11:34
opportunity to join your in your
00:11:36
organization is important to me because
00:11:39
of this this this you go and find go
00:11:43
back to the job description person
00:11:45
specification when you go back there you
00:11:48
go and find what is what is unique to
00:11:50
them you find out what they do what what
00:11:54
what are the iso 151 accredited you so
00:11:58
you can use some of the highlights of
00:12:01
their organization you can put it as why
00:12:05
as a reason or reasons why you were
00:12:07
attracted to Jo to apply to the
00:12:11
organization so you it's it's something
00:12:14
you sit down and take your time to do
00:12:17
then also spell check when you're done
00:12:20
so the opportunity to join your
00:12:22
laboratory or the opportunity to join
00:12:24
your organization spars my interest
00:12:26
because of this this this this this
00:12:29
about the
00:12:31
organization furthermore so use Clear
00:12:34
English furthermore I you know I am this
00:12:38
I am attracted to your organization
00:12:40
because of this and this and this all
00:12:42
that you will get from the job
00:12:45
description and person specification
00:12:47
which you have already been provided as
00:12:49
a cheat sheet if you ask me when the job
00:12:53
was posted you would see everything all
00:12:56
you just need to do is to click and
00:12:58
download it
00:12:59
you'll see everything about the job I'm
00:13:01
just using this as an example because
00:13:04
this is the particular
00:13:06
one um I used in the other video when I
00:13:09
was showing you how to fill in the
00:13:11
personal um your personal details
00:13:13
qualification and employment history so
00:13:17
when you write that you state now you
00:13:19
state if you see that in the for example
00:13:22
the P person specification they say they
00:13:24
want somebody who who knows how to keep
00:13:28
up with their CP
00:13:29
somebody who has some experience those
00:13:32
are the things you add I have 8 years of
00:13:36
experience working in an iso1 151
00:13:39
accredited laboratory I have this I
00:13:42
continuously partake in CPD activities
00:13:46
you state it all there I am a I'm
00:13:48
computer literate all the things you see
00:13:51
they say they say they need Ure you put
00:13:55
it as something you have so for example
00:13:59
so if you if if you go by this example
00:14:01
now you would see that they have they
00:14:04
have written Pro several things that
00:14:07
they would like to see in the candidates
00:14:10
so focus focus on ISO 151 um ISO
00:14:16
15189 um um culture of in Innovation so
00:14:21
you write I am if I you are right I'm
00:14:24
Innovative I am known for this this this
00:14:28
okay that's how to go about
00:14:31
it so after you have stated all of those
00:14:36
um qualification but you see you're not
00:14:38
just stating I attended this University
00:14:41
or I not the way you did in your
00:14:44
employment history you are making it
00:14:46
like a story that will be interesting to
00:14:49
read okay ens sure that you if if they
00:14:53
ask for communication and sure that you
00:14:54
include I can I communicate clearly in
00:14:57
WR and verbal form in this
00:15:01
paragraph So take and make it paragraphs
00:15:05
make it in paragraphs so that it won't
00:15:06
be too length lengthy and too boring to
00:15:09
read so after each paragraph I like to
00:15:11
give a space another space so you go to
00:15:16
the the
00:15:18
third
00:15:22
paragraph the third paragraph is where
00:15:25
you state your skills you begin to State
00:15:28
all all skills that you have you you you
00:15:33
you can State you know break it down
00:15:36
State computer application okay I I I
00:15:39
can operate um certain Computer
00:15:42
Applications including the limb system
00:15:45
that's if you I'm just using this
00:15:47
example that say you work in a
00:15:48
laboratory for instance but still the
00:15:51
skills which apply to your own
00:15:53
discipline you might be a nurse you
00:15:55
might be a doctor you might be a
00:15:57
radiographer so St the skills that apply
00:16:00
to your own discipline so if you have
00:16:04
any questions in any of this Parts just
00:16:08
drop your questions in the comment
00:16:10
section below and I'll will come right
00:16:12
there to give you a personalized answer
00:16:15
so the the third paragraph make sure
00:16:18
that you beit up with your skills in
00:16:21
skill that you can Google skills or you
00:16:23
can check the skills they ask for they
00:16:25
usually ask for skills like
00:16:27
organizational skills communication
00:16:30
skills interpersonal skills teamworking
00:16:32
abilities those are the kind of skills
00:16:35
you should include there you should
00:16:37
include that you are able to complete
00:16:39
your task you are also able to work
00:16:41
under pressure at tight deadlines all
00:16:44
you all of these should be included
00:16:48
there going by what you see on the um
00:16:53
job description and personal that's
00:16:55
person specification and if you've
00:16:57
applied for enough a few begin to see
00:16:59
that there are some common skills that
00:17:02
they always ask for things like good
00:17:03
communication teamworking abilities so
00:17:06
you can you know really write out one
00:17:09
that will serve for multiple
00:17:12
applications all you just need to do is
00:17:14
to tweak you remember the initial part I
00:17:16
told you to write the trust name you
00:17:19
tweak that part each one you change
00:17:22
change that part of it and change the if
00:17:24
you use dear James maybe the next one be
00:17:27
dear Helen depending on what you see on
00:17:29
the advert and what you see in the
00:17:32
person
00:17:33
specification next paragraph paragraph
00:17:39
4 paragraph four is where you kind of
00:17:42
States some of the let's assume that you
00:17:45
work in a lab you are a biomedical
00:17:47
scientist for instance you begin to
00:17:49
State the kind of automation you have
00:17:51
used some of the automation I have used
00:17:54
in my years of experience includes this
00:17:57
this this you actually state them
00:17:59
out okay actually State them out they
00:18:03
are many and they are many and they're
00:18:05
diverse some of the automation I have
00:18:07
used in my experience include 6 Max xn
00:18:11
you know 31 xn 550 you just stti them
00:18:18
out Rush kobas 8800 kobas um let's say 6
00:18:24
800 you stay them out like at least five
00:18:27
because every laborat has automation so
00:18:31
State them out so that they understand
00:18:32
that you are already used to working
00:18:35
with automation because in this part of
00:18:37
the world the lab is fully equipped so
00:18:40
if you are other in other discipline the
00:18:43
