 Request
two copies of the form. If only one is provided, photocopy
it before you make a mark on it. You'll need more than one
copy to prepare rough drafts. - Read the whole
form before you start completing it.
- Prepare a master
copy if the same form is used by several divisions within
the same company or organization. Do not put the specific
job applied for, date, and signature on the master copy. Fill
in that information on the photocopies as you submit them.
- Type the form
if possible. If it has lots of little lines that are hard
to type within, type the information on a piece of blank paper
that will fit in the space, paste the paper over the form,
and photocopy the finished product. Such a procedure results
in a much neater, easier to read page.
- Leave no blanks;
enter n/a (for "not applicable") when the information requested
does not apply to you; this tells people checking the form
that you did not simply skip the question.
- Carry a resume
and a copy of other frequently asked information (such as
previous addresses) with you when visiting potential employers
in case you must fill out an application on the spot. Whenever
possible, however, fill the form out at home and mail it in
with a resume and a cover letter that point up your strengths.
