BrightNook Tips Before You Apply
- Read the qualification line carefully. The Finance Unit post accepts NVQ Level 3; the Faculty of Education post asks for NVQ Level 4 and O/L at one sitting.
- Prepare a one-page CV for the Finance Unit email, with your O/L results and any office or accounts experience at the top.
- For the walk-in, arrive early with originals, certified copies and your NIC; the window is only two hours.
- Chemistry graduates: the Project Assistant role is translation-heavy, so mention any Sinhala writing or typing work.
- Check the NVQ levels guide if you are unsure which level your certificate is.
