Looking for work

When applying for a job, it's important to know what your rights are during the process.

Our section Job applications and interviews looks at the types of things it's OK for potential employers to ask you during the recruitment process – as well as what's not OK.

To learn more about the types of checks you can expect employers to make about you when offering you a job (e.g. criminal records checks, health questionnaires, the right to work in the UK), see our section on References and checks.

Our section on Job offers gives information about what you can expect from a job offer and what your rights are if things don't go according to plan.
