subject: Find The Best Employees By Using A Thorough Job Application Form [print this page] Applying for a job usually entails filling out a job application form, which may be the first step to finding a suitable employment. An employer who requires that the job applicant fill out a job application form may be indicating his or her interest in hiring the applicant. In any case, employers require as detailed as possible information from the prospective employee and this may include filling out such details as references, previous employer details as well as all other personal details that may be relevant to filling the position applied for.
Most employers may be in a bit of a hurry to employ applicants since the longer the employment process takes the more money it costs the employers. To start the ball rolling, employers may prefer that the applicant fills out the job application form during the preliminary interview stages. Therefore the job applicant must be armed with all the necessary information regarding his complete profile before applying for a job. To meet these eventualities, the job application form should provide the following information:
* Social security number
* Drivers license number and the state in which it had been issued
* Past convictions, whether military or civil and provide the following details in this regard
* What was the nature of offence committed
* At what date was the conviction made
* At what place was the conviction passed
* What was the disposition of the conviction i.e., sentence, probation etc.
* Residential address(es) for the previous ten years
* When is the applicant available to join work, including the amount of notice period to be given to current employer or otherwise at what date would the applicant be available to join work
* Details of military service including discharge papers, type of discharge, occupational specialization, special training received as well dates, and last rank
* What are the preferences such as first best choice of job position desired followed by second and third preferences
* First, second and third preference of geographical location desired
* How the applicant got to know about the job
* What salary would the applicant desire
* What is the nature of education and training proficiency including names of schools and colleges attended, start and end dates, major and minor subjects studied, degrees earned and dates, grades received and their averages, rank attained in class and finally, titles such as Masters or PhD.etc.
* List additional skills such as typing skills, professional licenses, language proficiency, software and equipment knowledge as well as other technical skills
* Names of professional organizations of which the applicant is a member
* Should possess valid work permit to work in the country, in case of foreigners
* Work history, which should contain names of current and past employers, their addresses, start and end dates, reasons for leaving, last or beginning salaries, and reasons for any gaps in employment that are in excess of 90 days
As can be seen, employers require detailed information from applicants and so the job application will be greatly simplified if the applicant has all the necessary information available. In case, the applicant requires a job application form, there are many cheap pre-defined ones that are available and which, for low cost, can greatly help applicants in applying for jobs.
