Some basics on applying for jobs

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.

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.
