Hints and Tips
To apply for the programme you can have studied any discipline. We currently have graduates from disciples that range from Law to Archaeology, Drama studies to Arts on our programme.
While we don’t mind what you have studied you must have a full, clean driving licence, or be in the process of attaining one, to apply for this programme. We hire for 8 main languages: French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.
While it’s preferable to speak an international language, it is by no means a requirement and there are plenty of English-speaking markets, such as the UK, Canada, US and Australia
Written Application tips
When reviewing applications, we start with the written application, so this is your opportunity to give us an insight into your Serious Character and ensure that first impressions count.
- Read through the written application and start to plan out your answers.
- Write your answer to each question out in a separate document and save this. If you start writing your answer into the online form straight away you may have spelling or punctuation mistakes. Plus, this means you have a saved copy of all your answers for your own personal records. Handy!
- If you speak an international language be honest about your proficiency in that language in your application. Honesty is always the best policy!
- Be as clear and concise as possible
This is your story, tell it your way. Fill in each field of the online written application as honestly and as well as possible. If you have any uncertainties along the way you can contact us through our live chat function or check out our FAQs.
Video Application tips
- Shoot in landscape (that’s the sideways one).
- Record in the highest quality possible – don’t worry, our servers can take it.
- Try to avoid background noise, unless you’re going for a crowd scene…
- Should you have any questions regarding your upload, you can contact us through our live chat function for help.
