Employers specify the type of new graduates they want in their organisations. They define the skills and personal qualities required by applicants and any specific academic and practical experience which may also be required.

Employers seek evidence from application forms, CVs and covering letters and references that applicants are suitable for the job. Questions asked at first interviews, and the selection exercises at second interviews, are all designed to test the validity of your claims.
