How to Fill Out A Winning Job Application

  • Read and follow all instructions carefully.
  • Keep the application spotless.
    Be sure your answers are legible; type if possible, or print neatly using black ink.
  • Misspelled words are fatal; have someone else proofread the application if at all possible.
  • Make a checklist of supporting documents that are requested. Cross off each document as you attach it to the application.
  • Attach a copy of your résumé to the application unless you are specifically instructed not to.
  • Make a copy of the completed application for your records; refer to it before your interview with that employer.
  • Meet the application deadline!
