Copy-paste statements
Reusing general text fails to address specific trust requirements and individual job descriptions.
Why Good Pharmacists Keep Getting Rejected
NHS applications are scored strictly against person specifications. Most pharmacists write descriptively instead of evidentially, failing to provide the panel with the required structure, alignment, and evidence of impact.

Generic experience descriptions
Listing generic duties instead of evidential achievements leaves the shortlisting panel guessing.
❌
No clear mapping to essential criteria
Failing to demonstrate exactly how you meet person specs is the fastest way to a rejection.
