Hello,
I have found one or two pieces of good advice for writing letters of applications, resumes, etc. I post this advice here.
In some cases, even if you submit a resume, you will also be asked to complete a job application. This way the employer will have consistent data on file for all prospective applicants. Also, your signature on the job application acknowledges that the information is accurate.
The most important rule to remember when applying for jobs is to follow the directions.
If the employer tells you to apply in person, don't call. If the job posting says to mail your resume, do not send it via email. When the job listings says apply via a form on the company web site, don't email your application directly to Human Resources. There is not much more annoying to hiring managers than job seekers who don't follow the rules!
If you are interested in working for a particular company visit their web site. Career information is usually listed in the "About Us" section of the site. Follow the instructions for searching for and applying to jobs online.
The online applications I reviewed asked for your contact information, educational background and employment history.
You will need to know when you worked and what you were paid at your previous jobs. You may also be asked what days and hours you are available to work.
Download a sample job application and complete it before you start your online applications. You will have all the information you need, ready to enter.
There are a good Online Job Applications
