Most applications today are completed online.  \nEven when you respond to a sign that says,“We’re Hiring,” you will probably be asked to complete an application online. Many employers use software that automatically sorts these applications to decide who should be called for an interview. Online applications can increase competition for a position since people fill them out without ever visiting the workplace. It is very important that you take the time to fill out job applications correctly.  \nJob applications ask for lots of information. Some of this information is easy to remember, like your name and address. Other information is harder to remember, like the dates and address of previous jobs you have had.  \nUse the Personal Data Form (in the Worksheets section) to put all the information you will need on a few pages. The Personal Data Form looks a lot like a job application. Filling out the form will help when you sit down to fill out an application because you will have the information you need in one place. This way you won’t have to skip information that can prevent you from finishing an application or getting timed out of a process.  \nPersonal Data Form  \n\n| Personal |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Name |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Address |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Phone |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Email |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Employment Desired |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Position Title |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Date Available |  | Starting Wage Desired |  |  |  |\n| Available for Work (circle) Full-time Weekend Part-time On Call Temporary |  |  |  | Seasonal | Rotating Shifts |\n| Education |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Circle the last grade level you completed through high school 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 GED/TASC |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Name/ Location of High School attended |  |  |  |  |  |\n| College | Major | Graduate\u003Cbr>  Yes   No | Degree Earned |  |  |\n| Other | Major Subject | Completed Course of Study | Degree or Certificate Earned |  |  |\n\nSample Personal Data Form  \nThe full text of the Job Search Toolkit is available at: [FirstFind.org/Jobs-and-Careers](FirstFind.org/Jobs-and-Careers) 97  \n| | Checklist for Success: Fill in the Personal Data Form to Have Information You Need in One Place |\n| --- | --- |\n| Complete the boxes in the Personal Data Form.\u003Cbr> Name Make certain to spell your name correctly.

You can use a post office box or another address where your mail can be held for you.\u003Cbr> Phone If you are asked for one phone number and you have a landline and cellphone, write down the number you are most likely to answer. If you don’t have a phone, ask a family member or friend if you can use his or her phone number. Write this number on the application with a note like “this is my Aunt’s Phone where I receive calls.” Don’t forget your area code.\u003Cbr> Email Address Include the employer-friendly email address you created for job searches.

Be honest here. If you cannot start immediately, do not write “as soon as possible.”\u003Cbr> Starting Wage You can write “any” or find out what the job pays and write that down.\u003Cbr> Hours Available for Work What days and hours can you work? Only write down days and times that you will be able to get to work.
