Avoid any negative information. Look for ways to show that you are the right person for the job. Think of what you would look for in an employee if you were an employer. You must be truthful on an application. The information you provide may become part of your permanent employment record.
False information can become the basis for dismissal.
Provide only the information the employer is seeking or is necessary to sell your qualifications. Many applications have limited space to display your skills, experience, and accomplishments. Increase your chances of gaining an interview by carefully selecting what you will include on the application. Display your qualifications that meet the specific needs of the job. Read the job description carefully.
