2 Applying for a job in the hybrid workplace

In many ways, applying for a job in the hybrid workplace should be no different to any other application. You will almost certainly need a CV, and it needs to cover the key basic points – suitability for the job, proactivity, skills, and evidence (UCAS, 2022).

Primarily, you need to match your CV to the job you are applying to, showing how fit you are for the role. If the job description mentions specific key skills, be sure to include them in your CV. Employers are looking for a mix of technical ability – e.g. the things that you can ‘do’, whether that’s developing databases, calculating coordinates, or writing reports – and ‘soft’ skills, such as teamwork, communication, leadership, and commercial awareness.
