03. Application summary
After logging in, you'll be directed through to an application summary for the job you clicked 'apply' for. This is where everything regarding you application will be saved - you don't need to do it all at once, you can come back to it and finish it as and when!

Once you're happy with your application content and all the application pages on the summary page show a green icon next to them, you can go ahead and press submit. Don't worry, the 'submit' button will only be activated if all the icons show as green, so there can't be any accidents!
