I hate  job application forms and loathe having to do them. Its not nice in any way at all to human kind to judge eachother in this way.

Or to put it more correctly I can't stand doing them they are a pain and the drag all of the life out of me and make my life a misery.

I really want a job and I think I do better at interview, but I can;t get to interview as I have to do a form first and on the form I may suck or appear to come accross as someone who does.

I saw my boss once just ripping people's applicaitons apart for just dumb reasons and I thought oh that could be be or there go I and I got really really sad.

In the past I had to get a friend write them for me and I didcated as my phobia got so bad aas a result.

I am better now, but not cured.

Sure enough doing them on computer has made life a lot and considerably more easier for me, but they are such a pain.

Why can't they be standardised?

What are your tricks for completing them?

How do you stay positive?

How do you stay focused when filling them in.

I really need the Vizzed communities support on this.

As you guessed it ole' Totts is again looking for a new Job.

If only my man was rich enough to support me.

Anyway god bless everyone on Vizzed we support each other like one big family.

Love and respect to all of us who have to fill in job application forms.

Let us share our tips on how to do so.

I'm almost old enough to get a job... Definitely not looking forward to filling out my job application.

Old thread just got revived! I've got a few things that I do for applications.

I always write my list of job titles down on a piece of paper and bring it with me to every place I go. That way I don't have to remember or look up the addresses, phone numbers, etc. of the places that I've worked. I just bring it with me and copy down the information.

I am as honest as I can possibly be when I fill them out. If I got fired, I got fired, and I explain why as unbiased as I can. If there's a questionnaire involved with the application process, I am honest. I almost got hired at one place because on the application was a list of short answer questions, and my honesty impressed the manager. I didn't get the job because I turned it down for another, which turned out to be a mistake.

When I'm looking for a job, I put out a lot of applications, but I only ask to speak to the managers of the ones that I really want. The reason I do this is because in case I don't get the job at the places I really want, I might get a call from the other places in case I really need it. I also address the manager with the utmost respect, and I look him or her directly in the eye when I'm speaking. It's not so much the application but the way you present yourself that gets you the job.

I try to make the most impressive work to stand out.
Like if you worked at one place for 7 years strait? I would have that at the top or Bottom.
Depending on what they are looking for.
Fill in the list of Job duties as as full as you can. No need to lie. If you have spent a ton of years there? No one will question much.
For Forklift jobs, Labor, Warehouse, and Inventory I am quite well versed. Can Drive anything they have and am good at being accurate with inventory counts.

If I am going for a desk jockey job I tend to describe all the computer equipment duties and inventory process. Sometimes Saying you assisted a "Recieving and Inventory Specialist". Sounds way more impressive than saying you loaded and unloaded Trucks on a dock and kept a good count on the computer when it came time to log the manifest.

It is not lying. It is just that every company has their own jargon for any positition.

The word "clerk" used to be a guy at the register for example.
Now we call these people "sales floor purchase assistance associates".

I dislike the new words we have to use now to explain what a job is, but our modern world is such a competitive world of "bogus bull" each company has the audacity to create their own titles for the silliest of tasks.

I say enjoy some of the mind numbing "B.S." and play with it.
So long as your honest? It should work out fine.

The thing I understand most?
I do not even know why they bother asking. Once they have your Social Security Number?
They know every Job you ever worked, and every dime you ever scored.
If you "got the Axe" or "Bailed out".
Having the Silly Application Process is a waste of time anyway.

Good Luck To All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.
