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!
Online Job Applications. Job applications for many companies are available online. For example, a Wal-Mart 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.
Follow the Instructions. Follow the instructions when completing both online and paper job applications. Check the company web site or the fine print on the job application form for instructions, because the most important rule to remember when completing a job application is to follow the directions.
Review Before You Submit. Thoroughly read the instructions for applying for employment - before you click the Submit button or turn in your application. The company will regard applications that are submitted correctly and accurately in a much better light than those from candidates who don't follow the instructions. In fact, some companies won't accept incomplete applications, so you'll be rejected before you even apply if you don't submit your job application correctly.
Be Prepared to Take a Test. Some companies test applicants for employment to determine if the candidate is a good match for the jobs they are hiring for. Companies who conduct pre-employment tests (talent assessments) are seeking applicants that match their hiring criteria. Review advice on taking employment tests, so you're prepared to respond to the employment-related questions you may be asked. Companies also may require drug tests for applicants for employment.
