Application form: what is it?

You have probably been in active search for work more than once. Yes, it's very difficult to find a great place with an acceptable payment. In most cases, all the difficulties are not due to the fact that there are very few such places, but the fact that employers, realizing that there are plenty of specialists, carry out a very strict check.

Their requirements directly depend on the working conditions and the proposed payment, but they are often overpriced. What is a job application form? This is a questionnaire that you are asked to fill out during an interview or before it. Why do I need a questionnaire when applying for a job, if previously a person was submitted to the employer for a resume? The matter is that the resume, as a rule, is made in the free form, and in it only those information which the applicant has decided to announce are reflected. The application form allows the employer to better understand the candidate and some of his psychological and professional characteristics. Often the questions for it are psychologists who have vast experience of work.

Application form for employment

In it, by tradition, there are several points. In its formal form, it will be very similar to the usual resume, but there is still a difference. The application form for employment can be quite large. Usually this is 3-5 sheets. Almost all items are required.

The first part is general questions. Here it will be necessary to indicate your name, contact details and so on. Nothing complicated. Also here you will need to write in what marital status you are, your citizenship, attitudes towards military service (for men) and so on. In the second paragraph, you are most often asked to indicate the position in the particular enterprise that you are currently applying for. This is called a job prospect. In the same paragraph it will be necessary to indicate the three previous jobs, as well as the positions held for them. It is not so rare to ask and indicate the reasons for leaving. At this point, it may be necessary to record a few people ready to vouch for you.

Also, the employer will ask to indicate who they are, their place of work and position. The next item is information about education. The passed courses also it would be nice to document here. Next is the point on the basis of information from which the employer will be able to draw conclusions about your self-esteem and objectives of employment. There can be very tricky questions. Cunning is not worth it, because the lie will be noticeable (do not forget that the application for employment is developed by psychologists). Just answer as honestly as possible. The questions here are simple and do not need to be considered for a long time. The last item is other information about the applicant. There can be anything here.

Finally

We draw attention to the fact that according to the current legislation in the country, the questionnaire in question can not contain questions on the basis of which it would be possible to draw conclusions about the religious, political and other views of the applicant.
