BASIC Tips For Job Application Form Completion

Advantages: Gives the employer the exact information they are seeking from you.
Disadvantages: Very tedious and lengthy to complete sometimes!

...This is a basic guide to completing job applications. First and foremost, don?t waste your time and a potential employer?s time by applying for a job that you are not suitable for, e.g. you don?t have the minimum qualifications and/or experience required. It is not good for your morale if you spend hours completing application forms for roles you are not suited to ? it just means getting rejected and making you feel worse than you already do if you?re already out of work or hating your current position so much you feel it?s time for a change! THE APPLICATION FORM Application forms are a more and more common way for firms to recruit as they can create their own application forms to extract just the right amount of information they require to call people in for interviews. Always make a photocopy of the original and work...

applications to guarantee you an interview

Advantages: you have much more scope to impress than with a CV
Disadvantages: takes more time and effot

...Application forms are often used in appointments to public and voluntary sector positions, the idea being that it levels the playing field and creates more equal opportunities, than scrutinising CVs which could have been written by an agency or adviser. However, you can be ‘more equal than others’ by having an understanding of the shortlisting process and how the application form is used. I hope my experiences on both sides of the process will be helpful to members – at the end of the day you will succeed or fail on your merits, but you can give yourself some advantages at the outset. Typically you will receive the following: an application form, a job description, a person specification, and possibly some advice about completing the form. You may also get an equal opps monitoring form and some policy documents...

What Not to Say in Your Job Application

Advantages: Your first chance to sell yourself.
Disadvantages: Your first chance to make a prat of yourself.

...It seems that all the topics in this category are geared towards Higher Education/ Graduate/ Post Graduate employment. Given which, this is probably not going to be helpful. In fact, it’s probably not going to be helpful anyway, since the opinion which follows my customary prologue is but a collection of horrors which I have had the misfortune to read. But perhaps if you read deeply between the lines (very deeply), something vaguely useful may herein lurk. Let me set the scene. As many of you know, I run a (very) small landscaping business. And every year, come March or April, I contact the Job Centre to attempt to recruit some seasonal help to tide me and my two permanent employees over the busy season. So, without further ado, here are some genuine extracts from job applications which can only be entitled...

DT8-ing all the way!

Advantages: a very good listen for hard house lovers
Disadvantages: not one of the best euphoria albums

...beyond euphoria is a very good hard house album. for those of you who don't know hard house is a very hard core, hard styling type of dance music which is characterised by a very fast tempo. some people like to call it agressive dance music. i think the choice of tracks for this album and the mixing by DT8 project is brilliant and gives the album an excellent finish. DT8 project have released some of their own songs such as "the sun is shining" and "winter" which were also very good. their track "winter" is also the first track on this album and i love it. infact winter is probably my favourite song on this album. overall my favourite cd is the first but the second is still fantastic. however, there first one has an excellent track called "no one on earth" by above an beyond who have mixed other euphoria albums. another great track is...

If you want sound quality, look no further

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, loud, good background noise reduction, long cable, comfortable
Disadvantages: Ugly, a little on the expensive side

...The Beyerdynamic DT100 headphones have for a long time been the industry standard headphones in sound engineering, so the DT150s, a new improved model, have much to live up to. First off, these are not small, and they aren't particularly light either. That is not to say they are not comfortable, the soft cushions fit nicely over your ears and are excellent at reducing background noise. The headband is also nice and tight, but not too much so, obviously dependant upon your head. Neither are they the most sylish, in my opinion, in fact I would say they are positively ulgy, but I choose my equipment for performance rather than style and performance they have in spades. The bass production is by far the deepest and clearest I have heard from any headphone - it blows the competition away, simple as that. The mids and highs are also crisp...

Rediscover your music

Advantages: Build,sound quality,comfort
Disadvantages: none

...I've owned these headphones for a number of years now. I chose them because being in or around the music industry i knew that beyerdynamic was the industry standard. The BBC use mostly DT100's for example. I paid i think £150 which to me was a lot of money for a set of headphones back then. I tried them on in the shop and instantly knew they were the headphones for me as they were so comfortable you didnt really know you had them on which is rare for a fully enclosed headphone. On getting them home i played some pink floyd through them using a fairly high end home set up. The sound response was remarkable. There were things coming through from the music i had never even heard before. This being because of the very large frequency response. It was like discovering my cd collection again. I have also used them on hi-fi of all...

Dell Optiplex GX 520 PC

Advantages: Small, quiet, fast boot times
Disadvantages: Not for dedicated gamers

...Introduction As a company, we probably have about 2000 Dell PCs situated across all sites. I have had the Optiplex GX520 for almost a year now without any problem of any description. Mine is primarily used for writing software with Visual Studio and writing database code in MS SQL Server which affects millions of rows of data. These applications would really test the machine to the limits but how would it perform? As this machine was bought as part of a batch, the price paid would not be the same as you would pay for a single unit. I would expect to pay around the £500 mark if buying from the Dell website. Looks The Optiplex comes in Dells standard black coloured case. On the front there is a DVD Rom / CDRW drive and a floppy disk drive (which is a rarity these days, mine has never been used). Add to this 2 USB2...

Tricky Application

Advantages: not known
Disadvantages: application problems

...Having read good reviews of First Direct I thought I would apply to open an account. The on-line forms are quite complicated, but never mind, it could be worth it. I got a phone call from a pleasant and well informed customer service woman who confirmed my application and said the printed documents were being sent for me to sign. So far so good ! After a couple of days the paperwork turned up, in a rather funereal black card envelope, 33cm high by 13cm from side-to-side, and 1cm thick, the address being supposed to show through a small window. The problem was that only the post-code was visible because the paper on which it was printed had moved to the top of the packet. If only they'd had the sense to print it about 12mm lower down the page it would not have been obscured whichever way the sheet moved. So what was inside ? All...
