Tips for applying

A few tips that we can share to help you secure your work placement: Formatting is EVERYTHING.

Name your documents clearly (this implies effort)

Ensure your CV document look impressive and is formatted neatly

Format your cover letter AND email properly – titles, names, dates, addresses (again, this implies effort)

PDF your documents and attach the correct one

Engage with recent company content and reference it in a cover letter – in Saracens case this could involve referencing our 1876 Stand developments, recent results, key partners or social media output etc.

Pull out your key skills in your CV / cover letter, ensure they are relevant to Saracens and the role / placement you are seeking/ applying for.

We always look for added value. If you have spare time, upskill with an excel data analysis course on YouTube, build a WordPress site to host your recent essays, write a blog – amongst other things, this shows you are committed to personal development. Reference these extras in your CV.

Include links to anything you have written before. For example, build a basic WordPress site and put your dissertation and university essays on it. Please do include your LinkedIn account if you have one.
