COMPLETING JOB APPLICATION FORMS

Hi Folks

I hate completing application forms. The main reason being that my handwriting is absolutely terrible.

Does anyone else have that problem?

If so, how do you overcome this issue?

Thanks

    Does this mean that you've decided to move on from your position.

    Go back to basics.

    Hi Neil

    Nice to hear from you again.

    Yes, I've decided to move on.

    What do you mean by 'Go back to basics'?

    You could try scanning/downloading and filling in/editing the form, although that may take a long time depending on how many pages.

    Going back to basics means to break down what your doing and work back upwards.

    Ie - write in block letters with the use of a ruler to make sure that your lines are all level.

    Do many companies still use written applications? I've been keeping copies of online submissions (where they use an application form created in Word, or you can save a PDF completed application) and these have been really useful when applying for other posts.
