With applications coming to a close next Friday (10th April – send in your applications now!) I thought it would be a great time to tell you about our graduate application process this year. You may have seen that we’ve introduced a second stage video application and might be wondering why. So let me fill you in…

As graduates, you’ll know it’s getting tougher to secure your dream job after uni. You probably wish there was a way to make yourself stand out from the multitude of applications companies receive. At Beca we feel the same way - we want to get a more dynamic sense of you, more than just what your CV says.

So if you find yourself through to the second stage and we’ve asked you to make a short video – fear not! It’s not an X Factor audition. It is your chance to tell us something about yourself and what makes you stand out.

In the meantime, I’ve put together my top 3 tips on how to ace the Beca video application:

1.     Come prepared

Just as if it were an interview, come smartly dressed and practice how you want to sit. We also want to see and hear what you have to say so make sure you reduce background noise and choose a well-lit setting. Make sure you have a ‘clean & clear’ background as well.

2.     Don’t recite your CV

Instead of talking about your degree or summer placement, take the opportunity to tell us something that might not shine through on your application. Be as unique as you like – your reason to stand out can range from an academic project you aced to being a champion surfer or even a great public speaker!

3.     Practice, practice, practice!

You have one minute to tell us what makes you stand out. Once you know what you want to cover, highlight the key points and practice. It’ll help eliminate ‘ums’ and ‘likes’ during the video and show us your drive and professionalism.
