General rules for application forms
-
Sell yourself!
-
Put information in the appropriate box
-
If you can't answer a 'skills' question at all, it
may be highlighting skills you need to develop or that you need to
rethink about that employment area.
-
Match experience, skills and qualities to the job
specification
-
Make the layout neat and legible (so that it still
looks well even if photo-reduced)
-
If the form requests black ink and capitals, follow
the instructions and complete all sections
-
Ensure that your grammar and spelling are perfect
-
Keep a copy
