Part of Lesson Plan: Job Applications

Activity Overview / Details

Many companies are going to on-line applications, some you may access from home, others have a kiosk where you sit down and fill it out there. It may be a full screen computer screen or small hand held devise.  If you have a master application in your portfolio, the online applicaiton will probably ask the same questions as your master application. It may also ask your driver's license information.

Read all instructions, make sure you are filling in all boxes or spaces or it may cycle back to you asking you to complete all boxes.

Check each page before you click on the next button. Check spelling very carefully. Some applications may not allow you to go back over your application, check it along the way.

Most applications will allow you to save and go back to it several times within time period.

Be prepared for tests and/or questions attached to the application. Read questions very carefully, take your time.

Read all the fine print at the end of the application so you know what you are "signing" before you submit your application. These can include statements that references and credit will be checked.

Students will assess the attached online application, fill it out, print the completed app and turn it in to be graded.
