Job Application Form
When you apply for a job, you are typically asked to complete an application for employment. You may be asked to complete a job application even if you have already submitted a resume and cover letter. That way, the employer has a record of your personal and employment history, verified and signed by the applicant.
It's important for your job applications to be complete, correct (no errors) and accurate. Here is the information you will need to complete an application for employment and tips and suggestions for writing applications that make a great impression.
Remember that employment applications for many companies are available online. For example, a Wal-Mart Employment Application can be completed online for available positions with Wal-Mart. Other large employers offer a similar service. In fact, some employers no longer accept paper applications and require applications to apply via their company web site or the site where they have posted job openings
Check the company web site for application instructions before you put a resume in the mail, because the most important rule to remember when completing an employment application is to follow the directions. When the company says no phone calls, don't call. Alternately, if the job posting says to apply in person, do just that. If an application is required, complete one. Don't question the request by stating you have already submitted a resume.
Take a few moments to thoroughly read and digest the instructions for applying for employment, then follow the directions. The employer will regard applications that are submitted correctly and accurately in a much better light than those from candidates who don't follow the instructions.
Tips for Completing Job Applications
Complete all requested information. Don't leave anything blank. If you don't know the details, bring the application home and return it when it's completed.
Write clearly and neatly, using black or blue ink.
Check for spelling and grammatical errors. Proofread your job application form before turning it in.
List your most recent job first when completing employment information.
List your most recent education first. Include vocational schools and training programs as well as college and high school.
References don't necessarily have to be professional. If you have volunteered, you can use members of the organizations that you have helped or if you are a student use your teachers. In all cases, ask for permission prior to using the person for a reference.
Don't forget to sign your application!
