Very True....


For nearly all the same reasons mine got sent back too! I have changed CV etc and now been told to wait a further 4 weeks at least...but they have taken my money so i guess thats a good sign?!!

  1. When the board say to do it on the most recent forms they mean it! I never checked to see if forms had been updated since I originally downloaded them and sent them off in Sept. The board have sent the whole application back to me.
  2. Also make sure your referees send the original form through as photocopies will not be accepted.
  3. Do not copy and paste job descriptions from your jobs(nhs in my case) directly into the CV. This needs to be in your own words.
  4. If you send a certificate as evidence, make sure it is accompanied by a reflection.
  5. For the treaty of Waitangi, it was suggested to me to include reference to research undertaken with regards to the treaty.


Anyway, I'm off to complete another application!
Good luck
