You should know that employers do read the forms, and that the way you prepare the application can make a big difference in getting an interview and being hired for the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Prepared<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make sure you know the correct names, dates, places and other information you will need. It may be helpful to create a sample application to bring with you when you apply for a job, in case you must fill out an application form on the spot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask If You May Take A Blank Application Home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Filling out the form at home can be easier as you are able to take your time and do a good job. If possible, ask for an extra form, just in case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read The Form<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before you start writing, look for instructions that say \u201cuse pen only\u201d or that tells you to list information in a certain order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Neat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Type the information if possible.\u00a0 If typing the information is not possible, be sure to use a black pen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer All Questions Completely And Correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Know proper dates, addresses and how to spell names and places. Don\u2019t make up answers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Positive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>List what you have been doing, not what you haven\u2019t done. For example, if you have been unemployed for a period of time, show the work you have been busy with, such as going to school, managing a household or doing carpentry on your home. If paid experience is not specified, list any volunteer jobs or activities that can show your skill and ability to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Clear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Know the position title you are applying for and the right salary range. You may have to do some research to find this information.\u00a0 Also, most application forms ask when you will be available to start work. Be prepared to answer this question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask References Beforehand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>List people whom you have checked with and who have agreed to give a reference. There are two kinds of references, 1) Character or Friend, 2) Employer. Do not use relatives as references.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proofread The Application When You Are Finished<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make sure you correct any errors or omissions. Check your spelling. Then, hand it in or mail it. If you are mailing the form, it is a good idea for you to make a copy for yourself and to note the date you sent the application. Also, when mailing an application, be sure to send a cover letter re-stating your interest and qualifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h3>Job Application Tips &amp; Tricks<\/h3>\n<p>The Balance Careers \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancecareers.com\/job-application-tips-for-teenagers-2061581\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Job Application Tips for Teenagers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LiveCareer.com \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livecareer.com\/career\/advice\/jobs\/job-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Job Seeker\u2019s Guide to Successfully Completing\u00a0 Job Applications<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h3>Sample Job Application<\/h3>\n<p>Many companies require the applicant to complete a job application in order to be considered as a candidate for that job.\u00a0 Applications may need to be completed online or downloaded then completed using software such as MS Word or Adobe Acrobat.\u00a0 Some applications can be sent electronically while other companies prefer a printed copy.\u00a0 The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VUPBTXAzL0Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Way to Write a Resume by Job Genius video<\/a>\u00a0provides tips for completing a job application.\u00a0 Download the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nwtech.edu\/alvacc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/job-application.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sample job application<\/a>\u00a0to your computer.\u00a0Please ask me for help with using Adobe Acrobat to insert your information into the application.
