Job Application

• Points to Filling Out Job Applications

2

• When you first arrive for your interview, the
  manager will probably ask you to fill-out the
  companys standard job application. The job
  application is designed to help the manager spot
  your strengths and weaknesses quickly. Here are
  a few things to consider

3
Point One

• Print, dont write cursive.
• Printing is much easier to read. Use your best
  penmanship

4
Point Two

• Use a pen, not a pencil.
• Pencil is too easy to smear or
• smudge.

5
Point Three

• Neatness counts.
• A neat looking application says that you take
  pride in your work. A sloppy application with
  lots of crossed out information and mistakes says
  youre a sloppy worker.

6
Point Four

• Answer every question.
• However, if a question bothers you, write See
  me. If you feel that a question is improper,
  leave it blank. If a question doesnt apply to
  you, write n/a (not applicable).

7
Point Four, continued

• If you have a ghost in your past, a criminal
  record, write see me in the space provided.
  During the interview you can explain what
  happened, what you have learned and how you have
  tried to make amends for your mistake.

8
Point Five

• Dont give an expected salary.
• You may price yourself out of the job if its
  too large. Instead write Open.

9
Point Six

• 6. Be accurate. Make sure all names are spelled
  correctly and all addresses, telephone umbers and
  dates are correct. An inaccurate application
  says that you are an inaccurate worker.

10
Point Seven

• 7. Make sure your reason for leaving each job is
  a good one. Managers arent fond of quitters.

11
Point 8

• 8. Make sure you have permission to use a
  persons name before you offer him or her a as a
  reference.

12
Point Nine

• 9. Be honest. No exaggerating any
  misrepresentation or omission is sufficient
  grounds for immediate dismissal.

13
Point Ten

• 10. Dont forget to sign and date the
  application after you read the agreement.
