Job Application Document Tips:

The quality of your job application documents and application packages will determine whether you are screened in or out for the next stage of the hiring process. How do employers shortlist applications? Firstly, they omit applications with obvious errors, such as:

• Incomplete applications / missing documents
• Referencing the wrong contact person or company
• Misspelling the contact person’s name or company
• Spelling and grammar errors

These simple mistakes are frequent among students who apply to positions at the last minute, don’t proofread their work, and /or continue to reuse the same application for each job posting.

To ensure you present yourself as the best candidate for the job, be sure to tailor your documents (resume and cover letter) and application packages to each job posting and make time to review each document carefully before submitting your application to an employer. Be sure to remove any blank pages from your documents before creating your PDFs!
