Your online content can be a positive and a negative.

Positive: Online platforms can help you learn more about the panel members you may be meeting, giving you greater insight into their professional backgrounds.

Negative: Panel members may also review your online presence. Ensure your LinkedIn profile is current and reflects your skills and experience accurately. Be mindful that any content you share publicly should align with how you wish to be seen in a professional context.

Managing your online presence thoughtfully can strengthen your overall application and interview performance.

Read the job advertisement and role description carefully.

The job advertisement and role description are your primary sources of information about the role. They outline the essential criteria, which are the minimum requirements you must meet to progress to interview.

If you do not clearly demonstrate that you meet the essential criteria, your application is unlikely to be shortlisted, regardless of other experience or strengths.
