If you have not already then you should try and ensure that you have an up to date CV ready that you can send off as soon as a vacancy becomes available.
When a job is advertised, they may be inundated with applications, so it is important that you get yours in soon to allow you to be considered for the position. It is also very important that your CV is correct and professional.
