People who are interested can then apply for the job by sending in a letter of application or covering letter and a curriculum vitae or CV containing details of their education and experience.

A company may also ask candidates to complete an application form. The company's Human Resources department will then select the most suitable applications and prepare a shortlist of candidates or applicants, who are invited to attend an interview.
