Application Forms

Filling in an application form or writing a letter is probably the first chance you have of impressing the employer.

Here are some hints and tips to improve the chances of your application being read.

  • Check the instructions carefully.
  • Photocopy the application form and practice on a rough copy first.
  • Write neatly and clearly, preferably using a black pen.
  • Make sure your spelling is correct.
  • Answer all questions.
  • When you have completed the application form, get someone to check it over.
  • Keep a copy of the application form so that you can refer to it later.
  • Address the envelope correctly and use a first class stamp.
  • Send the form by the deadline given.

Look out for the Connexions Information Leaflet on completing application forms, this gives examples you can use.
