In many cases, you will be asked to complete an employment application, even if you have already provided a resume to the employer.

The application form is very important. Often the employer will form an impression about you solely from the manner in which you have completed the application form. Below are some tips to help you make a good impression.

Be prepared! Bring the following: pen; resume; social security card; names, addresses and phone numbers of your business references and/or former employers. Be sure to read the directions carefully. If it says ‘print’, then be sure to print clearly and neatly. Also, don’t rush through the application, but don’t take too long either.
