JOB APPLICATION PROCESS

Job application is a process for getting a job. The process for preparing job application is
becoming a major challenge for all job-seekers. There are many steps that you need to do in
apllicating a job. The following paragraphs present some information about the process for
preparing job application, which include eight steps that important to know for a job-seeker in
order to getting a job.

First, a job-seeker must write a resume ( sometimes called your “CV” ). It is a most
important tool when applying for a job. It doesn’t matter how qualified you are, or how much
experience you have, if your resume is poorly presented or badly written, you,re going to have
trouble getting the job you want or even an interview. After that, you also need to write a cover
letter. When applying for a job, a cover letter should be sent or posted with your resume or
curriculum vitae. A cover letter is a (typically) one-page document that explains to the hiring
manager why you are an ideal candidate for the job. It goes beyond your resume to explain in
detail how you could add value to the company. After you wrote your resume and cover letter
you can ask your friends to check them and you should revise, edit and proofread your resume.
Second, you should call the employer, then visit the employer to fill out your application form
you also need to edit, revise, and proofread your application letter. Next, send your application
letter with the cover letter and resume that you wrote before. Then you have to wait a few days
until you get a confirmation call from the employer before you go to the next process.

Summing up, the final process involves writing a follow-up letter. In this letter, the
applicant says “Thank You” to the employer for inviting him/her for the interview. Furthermore,
you must adequately prepare for the job interview. This can take place in three stages; aptitude
test, psychometric test, and oral interview. Aptitude tests are written interviews on various areas;
language skills, mathematic skills, and general knowledge. It is usually done within a short span
of time, and this demands the job applicant to be adequately prepared for the task. Finally, the
last thing you have to do is attend the interview. It is important to be honest during interviews,
and you should avoid guesswork and gicing false answers since such responses lower your rating
scores.
