Filling out the application form

When you apply for a job, you may be asked to fill out a job application. Here are some tips to help you.
  1. Get two copies of the application, or make a photocopy. Use one copy for practice.
  2. Use your personal data sheet.
  3. If possible, take the form home so you can do a good job of filling it out.
  4. Read the instructions before filling out the form.
  5. Use a pen and print your final copy.
  6. Fill in every space. Put n/a in spaces that don't apply to you. N/a is short for not applicable.
  7. Keep a copy of the completed application. You can use this as a guide when you fill out other forms.
