The job description is your score and every note counts. This will help you understand whether the role is a good fit and what is required, so you can tailor your application effectively.

Before your first act make sure you know your cues and stage directions. Check for any word limits, additional tasks, or submission deadlines.

Your cover letter is your aria- your chance to shine. Use this to tell us things that we can’t see on your CV for example: why you want to work with us, how our values align with yours, and any transferable skills that make you a great fit for the role.

Before submitting, review spelling and grammar, ensure attachments are included and correctly named, and double-check that your contact details are accurate and up to date. This is not a rehearsal. We repeat, this is not a rehearsal!

Research the organisation, be ready to discuss experience mentioned on your CV, and think about questions you’d like to ask us. See the interview as a duet where each voice is equally as important.

AI is a brilliant tool that’s transforming how we work however, please ensure your application is honest and a true reflection of your experience. You can use AI to check grammar and spelling, improve structure and formatting, research the organisation or rehearse mock interviews but remember when the curtain rises, we want to see the real you in the spotlight.

If your interview is online, have a technical rehearsal. Check that the link works beforehand and make sure you have a quiet space, a good internet connection with minimal distractions.

Confirm who you’ll be meeting on the day, check your route in advance, and leave plenty of time in case of travel disruptions. This is your 5-minute call, you have 5 minutes.

We are an inclusive employer and want to ensure that our process is as accessible as possible. If you have any access requirements, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing us on workwithus@londoncoliseum.org so that we can ensure that the stage is ready for your performance.
