Timing of completion of an application form
The organisation to whom you are applying for a position will direct you regarding if and when you will need to complete an application form. Many deadlines for graduate positions are as early as March in your final year.
Recruitment procedures vary between organisations. You may therefore be required to complete this document at any stage of the application process, depending on what information is to be gathered, and how this is used within the organisation. Completion of an application form may be required:
-
At the time you forward to the employer other documents related to your application for the position.
-
While waiting for a first, or follow-up, interview, or immediately after an interview.
- As one of the steps in finalising a job offer to you.
