How do I fill out a job application?

Job applications are not difficult to fill out, as long as you have the information that you need. There are some important tips to remember when filling out these applications. Most importantly, make sure you read the directions first! Know what the application is asking, and answer each question completely, in complete sentences. Also make sure you research the employer so you know exactly what kind of work you are applying for, how the company operates and what its policies are, etc.

Some applications are completed online while others are hand-written. Either way, grammar, spelling, and punctuation are critical. The quality of your application tells the employer about your attention to detail and your ability to complete tasks correctly; a poor or incomplete application doesn't send the right message. Below are some things to think about.
