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\u00a0 or\u00a0 a Google Doc with information 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 &#8220;use pen only&#8221; or that tells you to list information in a certain order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Online Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When completing an online application, be sure to check to see if the application can be saved and completed at a later time or if you have to complete the application within one sitting (such as Great Salt Plains Health requires).<\/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. Some companies will allow you to put &#8220;see attached resume&#8221; on the application if you are also able to send or attach a resume. Do not put &#8220;see attached resume&#8221; just because you don&#8217;t want to complete the form!\u00a0 Answer the questions on the form.\u00a0 If a question does not pertain to you it is acceptable to put &#8220;Not Applicable&#8221; or &#8220;N\/A&#8221; but do not leave any questions unanswered.\u00a0 Be sure to read the job description and application process and complete all required elements.\u00a0 Be HONEST with all answers on the application!<\/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.\u00a0 If you have a specific required salary range be sure to include it.\u00a0 &#8220;Negotiable&#8221; is an acceptable answer if that is the case.<\/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. <em><strong>Check your spelling<\/strong><\/em>. Then, hand it in, mail, or submit 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<p><strong>Additional Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do NOT ask what the salary is when picking up or asking for an application!! That is a total turn off for some employers.\u00a0 That will eventually be discussed in the interview process.\u00a0 If you are going in person to inquire about an application, be sure to dress appropriately!\u00a0 Do not show up in casual wear because you never know if they will just immediately call you in to visit about the position!
