    Job Application Forms

    F**KING BASTURDING F**K PIG C**T F**K OFF.



    What is it about these things? Sometimes they are awkward and frustrating but in general I feel that I just spend hours trying to phrase something that I don't cringe when I read. I know I'm being too perfectionist but really...writing about yourself on application forms is a cringefest.



    Only really need a couple of easy paragraphs...I'll spend all night chipping away at this when 20 mins total concentration would have it finished...or well on enough to leave til tomorrow. :/

    Employers don't want your life story. Keep it short and simple.

    I know mate, I really am concise when it comes down to it.It's just trying to make it read properly whilst applying the competencies to both your previous experience and to how you see yourself working in the job.

    They are a barsteward at times. In 300 words please tell us why you want this job, then in 300 words why are you suitable for this position. After that in 300 words please explain what you will bring to the company.
    I am losing the will to live filling in application forms

    Exactly waffle and "scene setting" gets your application form booted out.

    They want

    What did you do? How did you do it? What did you achieve ( both personally and for the customer / business)? Don't fall into the trap of using unnecessary words. Sharp , concise and chronological examples will always score better than waffle merchants.
