The Employment Application
Necessary Paperwork. Most employers will require you to fill out an employment application, even if you have a resume covering the same material. The employer will keep the application in your file after you start working. Employment applications can be difficult to understand and fill out, even for native-born Americans with advanced college degrees. Applications never give you enough space to write and often the instructions are not clear. When faced with the task of filling out an application, remain calm. Try not to become intimidated by the application form. If in doubt as to what something on the form means, ASK.
