    Need help with applying for your year-in-industry placement?

    Applying for an industrial placement is usually similar to applying for a job. To get a placement host to consider your application, you'll need to know how to write a good CV. If your CV impresses a recruiter, they might invite you to an interview or an assessment centre. You may also come across psychometric tests as part of the placement recruitment process, so it's worth reading up on how to prepare.
