Transfer to originals for the jobs you are interested in. Job seekers sometimes forget that an application is often their first contact with an employer, and its appearance counts. Applications should be typed or printed, with no cross outs or misspellings, and signed legibly. A long, complicated application can be copied to use as a working draft. When filling out an application, follow directions carefully.
False data are grounds for dismissal.
Many employers may request that the application be mailed or even sent by e-mail. All mailed applications should be accompanied by a cover letter. A cover letter is a brief statement explaining what job the application is for, why you are qualified, and requesting future action, normally scheduling an interview. Address the cover letter to a specific individual by name and title. If you're not sure who that is, phone and ask who is in charge of hiring, or who is in charge of a department mentioned in a want ad.
