 Guidelines
for a Good Application |
 |
|
| Read the form through carefully before you start writing. | Keep it neat and clean and use a black pen - not a pencil. This will make it easier to read, especially as it may be photocopied. |
| Make a rough copy first, on a separate sheet, using your C.V. as a guide. | Sign and date your form and check through what you have written. |
| Take note of any special instructions such as writing in CAPITAL LETTERS. | Do not fold the form more than twice. |
| If any part of the form does not apply to you, put N/A
(or Not Applicable) in, or you can put a neat line through the section
to show you have read it. DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK. |
Make sure you know where and to whom to send the form, and that the address is written clearly. |
| Most forms ask for your reason for applying. Make sure that your application shows that you really want the job and use positive words! |
Make sure the form is completed fully and returned by any given deadline. |
| It is important that you give names and addresses of
people prepared to support your application. These are called referees
eg. your headteacher or people you have worked for (ASK THEM FIRST!).
Choose someone who knows you well. YOU CANNOT USE MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY. |
KEEP A COPY!
You may be asked questions in the interview about what you have written.
