Always do a cover letter- even if the organisation says you don't have to do one, still do one. If asked to complete a video interview- make sure to dress professionally anyway and make sure to complete it in the relevant time-frame Show up on time and give a firm handshake for the case study- have a go, then go away for awhile then come back and re-read your answers.
