Completing the application form
| It is important to think about the skills IBM is looking for and how you can demonstrate to us that you have these. This can be through your degree course, work experience, voluntary work, involvement in clubs and societies or hobbies.
We don’t ask for an IT degree or IT experience for all our vacancies. However, for the majority of our roles you must be able to show a passion for IT - why it interests you, a knowledge of the current developments in IT, why you want to develop skills in this area - that kind of thing. We want you to be excited about the future of technology even if you are not a technical person at the moment.
Be honest with yourself. Think about why you are applying to IBM. If it’s just because you quite fancy working for a global company so you can do a bit of traveling then IBM is probably not for you.

| Finally: |
- Remember that quality is more important than quantity.
- Ensure your answers are clear and easily readable.
- Make sure that all the information you include is relevant. If it isn’t – don’t include it.
- Spell and sense check - we reject a number of applications each year because people have not taken the time to check their spelling. It demonstrates a lack of attention to detail and care.
- You only have to apply once for any specific or generic application. If you wish, your skills will be matched against other open vacancies
- Our selection tool allows you to subscribe to an e-mail alert that informs you of new vacancies that match your skills
- If you have applied to us in the last 6 months, please note that your CV is still on file and actively matched against open vacancies. You can only re-apply 6 months after your initial application.
- Don’t forget to read the section on the on-line application to be well prepared in this first step of our selection process
