You can only submit a CV to apply for MVF jobs, so if you look alright they'll often arrange an informal Teams call to find out more about you and let you ask questions about the role. These are really helpful on both sides as you can learn more about the applied job without having to drive to a physical office, and it helps the hiring manager get a better understanding of what you're looking for. I wanted a role promoting the farming side of MVF (which this job wasn't), and was able to comfortably withdraw from the process after having an informal chat with the Retail Marketing Manager.
