JOBS
You've found a potential position for yourself, now it's time to apply!
But the procedure is different for each employer.
 If you're applying for a part-time or summer position, you'll most likely
have to fill out an application form.
Here's a few tips you should follow
when filling it out:
-
Read the entire application before entering
data
-
Make a photocopy of the original form and use it
as a rough draft
-
Type out your final copy or print with
black ink
-
Fill in every section (if something does not apply to you write
N/A)
-
Be honest - don't make up experience
-
Keep it clean - No dog-eared corners
-
Don't eat and/or
drink
while applying
-
Don't write with colourful inks (such as red,
purple, green)
-
Don't use cursive writing
-
Unless specified not to, attach your resume
No matter what kind of job you are applying for, it's
assumed that you will bring your resume to your interview.
A resume is your showcase to potential employers since it shows your work
experience and skills.
Follow these steps to make your
resume your road to success:
-
Make it concise - Employers spend 7-10 seconds per resume
-
Have your information clearly stated
-
It must be brief - maximum 2 pages
-
Spell Check! Make sure it makes grammatical sense!
-
Have someone else proof read it
-
Start with your most recent experience under Work Experience
-
Don't attach reference letters - instead, note "references available"
at the bottom of your resume
-
Make sure it's typed and clean.
-
Don't fold it.
-
Use light-coloured (white or beige) paper.
