Job
Application Tips
By
Susan Kraul
Your job application gives the employer his/her first
impression of you. Businesses often receive hundreds
of applications for a single position, or applications
are kept on file and reviewed as openings occur. To
be sure that your application gets put into the "interview
pile" and not the "discard pile," follow
these common sense tips:
- Follow
directions and use a pen or pencil as stated on the
application
- Print
neatly and completely without abbreviations
- Supply
all the information requested including address and
telephone number
- Write
"open" for salary desired to insure a follow-up
interview
- Give
a specific position you are applying for
- Be
sure to sign and date the application
- Re-read
the application for any errors
