REMEMBER!
· You'll probably be asked very similar questions at an interview - and your answers should be about the same as the ones you wrote down - possibly weeks before. So take a copy of the completed form if you can - and certainly make a note of anything you write answering questions which don't simply have facts as answers.
· You may sometimes be given the choice to write more than the form gives you space for - something like "Use an additional sheet of paper if necessary". If you do, don't rely on their efficiency in keeping all your papers together. Write a title on the separate sheet, saying what it is, and that it's part of your application form. That way it has much less chance of being lost.
· Any list of activities with dates should have no gaps in it. If you were backpacking somewhere for three months, rather than working, it's better to say so. Otherwise people can draw the wrong conclusions about a time period you've chosen to leave out.
· These days, filling in an application form can often be done on-line. That could lose you the advantage of having time to put things in the best way. It might well be better to print off a copy of the form so you have time to think about it.
