Top 10 Tips to Fill an Online Job Application Form

By Guest Author

  
Now a day’s most companies want some kind of application form completing when you are applying for a job with them but frequently now these applications are all online so it is important to follow the next ten steps to ensure you do a successful application.

#1 Have all your details with you before starting to do an online application

It may seem obvious to some it is important to make sure that before you start completing an online application form that you have all the information you are likely to need in front of you before starting. This includes your CV which is up to date, your personal details, your job advert or description, your referee details, any visa information or ID details that proves your eligibility to work in the UK.

#2 Save as you go along so that a session does not time out

Most online applications allow you to save as you go along and maybe even re visit it at a later time before the actual deadline so that you don’t have to be under pressure to do it all in one go and get the opportunity to keep re visiting bits and editing it as you go along.

#3 Up to date employment details

Make sure that you have your CV up to date so that you can clearly put your employment details into the application form without having to find the information before typing. It is important to update this after each job you have had so that it is fresh in your mind and you don’t have to spend hours thinking about the things that you used to do or be responsible for.

#4 Research the company

Know the company you are applying to inside out. This is very important. There is nothing worse than you coming across like you do not know what the company does. Make sure that once you are comfortable that you know everything you can do that you allow this to be read through the application form that you are completing. For example if there is a personal statement section make sure you slip bits into it about what you know and how you would like to work for that particular company.

#5 Know the job description inside out

It is important to know what the company is looking for. Have you been through each point in the job description and assessed in relation to your skills what you can do and how you think you can do it. What previous experience have you had and how does your experiences and skills relate to what the company are looking for. Make sure that you can answer any questions you need to about the job description and try not to cover up elements that you are unable to do, turn them in a positive, a learning curve.

#6 Set aside some time to do the application form properly

It is important that to do an application form properly that you set aside some time which is quiet and free from distractions. You need to be able to think clearly when trying to create a good impression through your skills and writing alone.

#7 Mirror the company image and way of writing

Look at a company website and see how they write, what is their style and how do they come across. Try to mirror the way they come across by writing in a similar way (as long as it makes sense and is appropriate) and by doing this it shows that you are on the same level as the company and have paid particular attention to this.

#8 Know your salary details and any specific dates that are required for the form

You will need to know specific salary details for an application form as well as dates of employment, gaps in employment, dates of sickness etc. All these things will be found out through a reference so it is important to be as accurate as you can be so that you do not get caught out, for example if you have been off sick for a week with flu in the last 6 months, try to explain that and the circumstances around this.

#9 Equality and ID

Be prepared that you may be required to complete an equality form as part of your application process and that you may be required to upload or state your forms of ID to prove that you are legally allowed to work in the UK and do not need a Visa or Permit to do this.

#10 Checking and Double Checking

Finally check and double check before submitting the application form. Check your spellings, grammar, context in which you have written things in. Make sure it reads well and if you are able to get someone to read through if for you and make any necessary suggestions. Proof reading is very essential to create a good impression.

Are you looking for great job possibilities then you have come to the right place! The Royal Mail is such a company, which holds a lot of potential for new comers. There are many options listed in the royal mail job vacancies. One should carefully think of one’s career job prospects, weigh the options and then finally apply for the job.  One must also sarcastically think that almost every house in UK gets a mail thus there are people needed for the smooth running of the organization. There is a real need for skilful people to fill out the job vacancies offered by the Royal Mail.

The mainstay of the Royal Mail business is the sorting and delivering of different kinds of mails. The Royal Mail is indeed one of the employers in the country. Royal Mail is always need of newcomers thus there is a constant call for new young people to join the work criteria. One always think of a mail job as being a postman but believe me, there are a lot of options to choose from in this work field. Looking through delivering mails, sorting mails of different kinds or of different addresses, or making sure that a truck full of mails gets delivered are some of the options to choose from. One can play a real important and vital role in these Royal Mail job vacancies.

If you are looking for key positions then Royal Mail has something to offer to you too. The most common job for the Royal Mail is the job of a local postman or post woman. The work of these people is to get sorted out mails and deliver the mails to the correct addresses. If you are intent on being a driver, then there is some work for you as well. One can be a driver and can drop mails from one post office to another thus facilitating the process.  One can also transport mails from a railway station or a business centre to another. If you dislike working outdoors then you can do indoor work like the clerical works. The clerical work is just to sort out different mails and transfer them to the trucks who deliver them to the local postman. The local postmen deliver the mails to the people concerned. The most interesting job offer that Royal Mail offers is the job of a being a data keyer. A data keyer is a person who carefully scrutinizes the pictures of mails, which are being sent. Data keyers are important because in some mails automated machinery does not work. These people also work in mail address data corrections.

Royal Mail plays an important role in the UK as almost every address gets a mail every week. It also places a high premium on serving the rich communities of the UK. Therefore, there is a need to recruit good people for this job.  One should realise that working in Royal Mail is itself a royal thing to do. Making people happy with the mails of family relatives who are far brings an inner emotional joy, which is hard to express in words.
