    Oh, and read the ad and make sure you follow any instructions. If my job ad says "Apply by sending a CV and covering letter to John Smith at [email address]   or by post to John Smith at 123 The Street, Town", and instead I get a letter with no CV, sent to another e-mail address or addressed to a different member of staff,  then the first impression that applicant makes is a negative one, because they haven't followed the simple instructions about how to apply !
    All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)

    Really detailed advice there, thank you very much.
    Good to have a starting point for any move that I do (may) make

    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
