Making the most out of your job application
Filling out a job application form is just as important as submitting your resume, because the form includes questions relevant to the company you are applying at. Your answers will also weigh in your application, so you need to make sure that you answer the questions in the job application form as best as you can.

Filling out your job application form
Giving the “best” answers doesn’t mean you have to give the ideal answers — the company would be able to tell if you’re just giving these answers because they seem like the best ones. Job application form answers vary from person to person, as not everyone has the same experiences and reactions even when faced with the same situation and circumstances. Try to find the best answer based on what you’ve experienced, based on what you actually know. Relate these experiences to give the company insight on you, so they can further gauge whether you are qualified for the job.
Giving trite or even snide answers are not advised, though you should remain true to yourself while filling out the job application form. Also, keep the job application form neat and free from unnecessary marks, and make sure that the paper is not crumpled, torn or awkwardly folded. Make your handwriting neat and legible, so that the answers will be easy to read. You would want to give the reader and possible evaluator a good impression on paper, which may lead to a chance of actually landing the job you applied for.
