Tips and tricks for applications?

Hi, I’m applying for the 2027/28 year group for a pgde (same as pgce I believe but for Scotland), and I was wondering whether anyone had any tips or things I could do that would strengthen my application. I’ve only ever previously worked in hospitality positions, and honestly don’t have any experience directly with kids so it’s worrying me that this may weaken my application. I’ve looked into jobs that require little experience in schools but not sure what would be the best to strengthen my application. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
