Presentation transcript:

The first and sometimes, most important step to getting the job.

What is a job application? A form employers ask you to complete when you apply for a job.

What is the purpose of a job application? Used by employers to select potential employees for the interview process. Gives an employer a first impression of your personality and qualifications. Provides a candidate an opportunity to stand out – in a positive way!

Do I need to fill out a job application if I am submitting a cover letter and resume? YES! Submit all requested materials. Must have completed applications on file for legal purposes.

Should I type my application? Printing is fine, as long as it is done neatly. Use black or blue ink. You may type if your handwriting is messy. Do not have someone write for you.

How can I make my application stand out from the rest? Use your resume to complete your job application. Ask for two blank applications – just incase you mess up. Answer every questions that applies to you. Put N/A if a question doesn’t apply to you. Spell correctly. Be specific when answering all questions.

Submitting my Application Dress properly and look nice. Be nice to everyone! Drop off application during non-peak business hours. Always ask to give your application to a manager. Be prepared for an interview.
