Job Application Forms

Help with Job Applications

Job applications are used by employers, agencies and recruiters to source information about candidates' qualifications and experience etc. They will screen out applicants based on various factors in the application rather than to get you in. You need to put a lot of thought and research into answering each question, to be competitive in your application.
Use a personal file with all the information you will need to fill in in an application form - such as your CV / resume, certificates, letters of reference.

Research the company you are applying to before filling out the form - to help you focus your answers on meeting the company's needs.
Make a copy of the application form to practice on. Keep the original form for your final draft.

Read through the form carefully making sure you understand all the instructions and questions. Draft your answers in rough first. Check spelling and punctuation, and get a friend or colleague to double-check it for you! NOW complete the original form neatly in black ink. Make a copy of your completed application before submitting it before the closing date and allow extra time for the slow postage!
