Sample Job Application
Many companies require the applicant to complete a job application in order to be considered as a candidate for that job. Applications may need to be completed online or downloaded then completed using software such as MS Word or Adobe Acrobat. Some applications can be sent electronically while other companies prefer a printed copy. The Best Way to Write a Resume by Job Genius video provides tips for completing a job application. Download the Moyer Services – EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION for Moyer Electric and SAVE it to your computer prior to answering any questions. Please ask me for help with using Adobe Acrobat to insert your information into the application. After completing the application print a copy and put in your folder then upload it to your folder on the Shared Google Drive.

What kind of first impression you make and how you perform during a job interview will determine if you get the job or not. You don’t get a second chance for a first impression.
