Bristol uses TalentLink (Lumesse, now Cornerstone) for all external recruitment at https://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/. Apply through the official portal, not through jobs.ac.uk or LinkedIn reposts.
Every shortlisting decision is made against the Essential and Desirable criteria in the Job Description and Person Specification. Structure your Supporting Statement to mirror those criteria, in order, with a short evidence paragraph under each.
You're here early and that means a lot! ResumeGeni is in Beta which means it isn't 100% finished yet, but every day I'm working towards the vision. It's my goal to help you land your next job.
During the Beta, you'll get access to the state of the art AI to help find your perfect match, and when you do ResumeGeni will prepare your resume to get you to the interview.
There's still a lot to do. Please reach out if you have feedback, a request, or just want to send me a note.
