What’s wrong with you? You look so serious. Hey, what’s up Nong? I need to apply for a job. I’ve got everything ready. But I have no idea about how to fill in the application form.

I’m sure Professor Ho can help us. That’s very simple. Let’s go to see him and ask him for help. That sounds like a good idea. Let’s go, shall we?.

You don’t have to go anywhere at all.. I’m right here waiting for you. What would you like to ask me my boys? Please tell us about application forms. Thank you so much Dr. Ho. That’s very kind of you.

Well, let’s begin with Types of Application Forms!. There’re two types of forms. What you’re holding in your hand now is a printed form. Certainly, there’s another type. It’s known as the online application. Is there another type of form, Dr. Ho?

Are the two forms different, Professor Ho?. Well, they look different but the contents of both types are similar or maybe the same. Please tell me what topics are included in the online form. You can print out the online form, or fill in directly via the Internet.

Let’s talk about the online application form first.. To obtain an online application form, you may make use of Search Engines on the Internet. Some popular Search Engines include yahoo.com, google.com, hotmail.com, and msn.com. Is that how we get to the webs with examples of both interactive and non-interactive online application forms?

I’ve got an assignment for you.. You are assigned to find out some webs that job seekers may use to look for application forms. Please submit your work next week. I’ll try my best, Professor Ho. Could you tell me about the components of an application form?

Most job application forms consist of the following parts.. -Position sought -Personal information -Qualification -Membership of professional bodies -Present employment -Employment record Some others are: -Experience -Referees

Now, can you answer my questions?. What part of an application form is each speaker talking about? I’m looking for a space to put my name in. It’s very confusing. What is a middle name? That’s correct!

. How about this one?Thanks to Prof. Montree for accepting to be my reference. With his help, I feel confident that I’ll get the job. That’s right!

. How about this one? I spent three weeks visiting a bank in Honolulu, Hawaii. The knowledge will be useful for the job I am applying for. That’s perfect!

. How about this one?I hold an MBA degree in Management, with two years of work experience. That’s correct!

. This is the final question under the topic. I’ve been working as a web designer at a small firm in Khon Kaen. That’s correct!

Could you please talk about Personal Information to fill in the form? What should be included in that part? I hope you don’t mind my questions, Dr. Ho.

Not at all, Mr. Num. I’m glad to have an enthusiastic student like you. Personal information includes the applicant’s: -name and title -date of birth -address -telephone number - address
