Read and understand the directions before you start filling out the application. Make sure all the information is accurate. Errors, even unintentional ones, can cost you a job. Answer all questions on the form. If something does not apply to you, fillu00a0 in the blank with N/A unless otherwise directed. Proof the application before you submit to correct spelling and grammar errors. If possible have someone with good proof reading skills review it before you submit. Employers often consider an application your first assignment, they are looking for accuracy, completeness, attention to detail, and the ability to follow directions. Make sure your application shows you have all these abilities.
