How to Complete an Application
The first step to filling out an application is to follow all instructions.
Begin answering the questions and DO NOT leave any blank. If you are unsure of a question, such as salary, put "negotiable" for an answer.
Make sure your answers are brief and to the point. Do not add unnecessary information. On the same note, do not omit information. For example, list all job history in the last 10-15 years. Employers do background checks and leaving information out could be considered falsifying your application.
Try to get dates exact or as close as possible. If you were off work six months to a year without explanation, this could hurt your chances of getting the position. Be truthful on every question!
Finally, sign the application and date it if required.
