Application Tips
Be Careful
If you are careful about following instructions on your
application, an employer will think that you may be careful
as an employee.
Be Neat
Print or write clearly in blue or black ink so that your
application can be easily read.
Be Certain
Read everything on the application before you begin to
fill in the blanks. After you complete the form read it
again to make
sure you have answered every question correctly.
Be Alert
If you are not sure about the meaning of abbreviations
used on the form, ask the person who gave you the form
to explain
them.
Be Complete
Watch your spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Be Inclusive
Describe all your skills and abilities. Also list the
kinds of computers, software programs, machinery, equipment
and tools
you
are able to
use.
Be Accurate
Make sure all information is correct. Check employment
dates,
telephone numbers and addresses for accuracy.
Be Prepared
A request for reference information is generally
standard
on all
applications. Take names, addresses and
phone numbers of your
business and personal references along
with
appropriate identification. |
