What is an employment application form?
An employment application form is a standardised form which is developed by some organisations to gather employment related information. This form is sometimes used as part of the process for recruiting and selecting staff. On occasion, certain employers may require you to complete such a form.
The application form itself can be either a paper or an electronic document. The purpose of the form, and the information it seeks from job applicants will vary according to the needs of the organisation.
It is important to always comply with requests to complete an employment application form, as failure to do so may mean that you are not considered for selection. Aim to complete the application as completely and accurately as possible, even though you may think that you have provided some of the required information in other documents, for example, in your resume or job application cover letter.
