How important is your job application?

Human Resource Directors all agree that a job application is one of the two most important documents that you will submit to have an opportunity at an interview; your resume is the other. Remember, a neat and complete application will give you the best opportunity to interview with a prospective employer.

Below are the eight most important things to remember when completing an application:

  1. Carefully review the entire application once before beginning to work on it.
  2. Follow instructions.
  3. If writing by hand, print very neatly and maintain a consistent style of writing.
  4. Do not leave any section blank. Write “N/A” for any sections that do not apply to you.
  5. Double check spelling and grammar.
  6. Specifically state the position for which you are applying for.
  7. Carefully review the entire application from the prospective of the hiring manager – would you hire someone that handed you this application for the position applied for?
  8. Always print two copies – one to turn into your prospective employer and one for your Personal Career Portfolio.

Make your first impression a good one.
