Tips for employment application
Many jobs require jobseekers to complete an application instead
of submitting a résumé. But an application is a résumé in
disguise: Its purpose is to show your qualifications. Here are
some tips for making the best impression with a job application:
When you pick up an application, don't miss an opportunity to
make a good first impression. Dress as you would for the job.
Politely request two copies of the form, or make your own copies
of the original before you start filling it out.
Read the entire application before you begin. Then, use one copy
as a rough draft and the other as the final product. Use a
typewriter or write neatly with black ink.
Answer every question on the application. Write "not applicable"
or "none" if a question does not apply to you. Some reviewers
suggest answering "will discuss in interview" if asked for
information that might disqualify you.
Make a copy of your completed application. If you go back for an
interview, take this record with you. Having a completed form
will also make it easier to fill
out the next one.
Although forms do not offer the same flexibility as a résumé,
you can still find ways to highlight your best qualifications.
For example, you can use strong action verbs to describe your
duties. If you do not have paid experience, you can give job
titles to your volunteer work or list relevant academic
experience, substituting student for job titles.
Computer applications
If you are filling out an application for a computer database,
you will want to use keywords and simple formatting--no boldface
or bullets. Put the most important information first.
Include as much information as you can for each question without
becoming wordy or repetitive. The more relevant details you
provide, the better your chances of using a keyword that matches
an employer's requirements. Before submitting the form, copy and
paste your answers into a word-processing program so you can
check the spelling.
