Be honest and be positive. Do not lie on an application form, you will always have to provide evidence of your qualifications, training etc, and references will be taken if you are successful.
Read through your application carefully before you submit it to make sure you have included everything you need. Once you are happy with the application, you can send it. Make sure the body you are applying to will receive it before the deadline.
Please open your post, check your emails and texts in case you are invited for interview. If so, contact the company to accept and ask if there is anything you need to prepare prior to the interview.
