Completing Application Forms:

Some employers will require you to fill out an application form, even if you have already submitted a CV and cover letter. This is so they can make sure they have a comprehensive, verified, record of every applicant’s personal and professional history.

Make sure your job application form is:

• Complete – Answer every question on the form. If a question does not apply to you, write ‘N/A’ or ‘Does not apply’ in the space provided.
• Clear – Write neatly, in capital letters if necessary, and use a black pen.
• Correct – Take a photocopy of the blank application form and fill it out. Then, check for spelling, grammar and punctuation before writing your answers on the original form.
• Accurate – Make sure you put the correct dates of your employment history, as well as correct contact details and an accurate description of your qualifications. The information on your application form needs to match the information on your CV, if you have one.
