Sample employment application [Instructor to locate suitable example and post link]

You should print it out, practice filling it out, and place it in your journal. If you cannot print it out and fill it out by hand, then simply write the information that the form requests directly in your journal.

On the discussion board, we will share and edit some of your information from this form. In particular, we will look more closely at the "summarize any additional information" and "List the jobs you held, duties performed..." sections. These are the sections of the employment application where you have a little bit of flexibility about how you write your answer. As such, they provide a place for you to make an impression - good or bad - on a potential employer. You want to make certain that these areas are written as clearly and strongly as possible.
