When completing an application form, it is very important to put as much detail as you can in order to give the best and most accurate picture of yourself. Read the questions thoroughly to ensure you answer correctly and don’t appear to have rushed – this is easily detected at the other end!
Read the instructions, people have been caught out before. One example I have heard of is one form that said “please answer ONLY question one, and non of the others” and most people filled in all the questions, showing they didn’t read the instructions, meaning they wouldn’t be any good for the position advertised
