Guidelines for Your Application
What We Need: Alongside your resume, craft a one-page cover letter that gives us some perspective into your unique journey and passion for this role.

Handling Attachments: Some platforms can be tricky. If limited to one file, combine your resume and cover letter. Bonus points for work samples - links in CVs or resumes are good, too!

The Weight of the Cover Letter: It's more than just a formality - it's our first introduction to you. Make it count. Without it, your application won't be reviewed.

Note on 'Quick Apply': This feature can sometimes miss essential details. Ensure all our requirements are met - incomplete applications won't progress.

We could be a good fit if you've made it all the way down to here!

Adherence to these guidelines is paramount.

Missing out will cost you a spot in the process. And then, we all miss out. And that bums us out. Don't bum us out. We value attention to detail, and this is your chance to show that off.

We appreciate the effort you put into your application and look forward to getting to know you better!
