Confused about this. Most applications seem to be done purely by filling in an application form but some companies also give you the option to attach a CV to your application.
East Coast give this option and their FAQ page seems to suggest it is just an option but if I was applying to them I would feel it was best to include one if the option is there.
FirstGroup also have the option to attach not only a CV but also a covering letter. However having read their FAQ and a number of other pages on their site, there seems to be no mention of including a CV or writing a covering letter to go with the application.
I was just wondering how essential including these is and whether the company is likely to look at them much if they have a completed application form? Or does it depend on the level of the position you're applying for?
