• A job application is the first impression a potential employer gets of you, and it can make or break your chances.

• This means you have to be careful and do everything right.

• When there is an application form, it asks for the information the employer wants to know, like work experience.

• The most important thing to include is all the relevant information

• Don’t leave a field blank unless its optional.

• Sometimes entry level positions wouldn’t require a cover letter but all professional jobs do.

• A cover letter should be brief, generally one page and never more than two.

• It is crucial that your spelling and grammar are correct.

• Your résumé is the core of your application and therefore the most important.

• Its always a good idea to tailor your résumé to the job and you absolutely must format it correctly.

• It should be separated into sections that deal with the thing employers look for like work experience.

• Even though email is usually regarded as quite casual, an email application is not.

• You generally don’t need a separate cover letter, the email body can serve that purpose.

• All the same rules apply to the email that apply to a cover letter.

 

• Most job postings include how you should apply and all list at least one piece of contact information.

• Where there is an application method listed that’s how you need to apply.

• Otherwise you could be eliminated without your application even being read.
