be asked a question which goes something like this please explain why you have applied for this post and what you have to offer so it is very very important when we complete a job application that we follow the instructions and we actually answer the question what do I mean by that well if we take a look at this application form question it says please explain why you have applied for the post and also what you have to offer so when we give them our answer we have to divide it up into two parts we have to say I am applying for this post because and then give the reasons why and then move on to say what we have to offer and I will give you an example answer that's been successful in past in a second but if you fail to answer the application form question you will not proceed to the next stages and this is why a lot of people fail their application forms because they don't follow instructions and they don't actually answer the question so this is my suggested answer for the application form question please explain why you've applied for the post on what you have to offer and you will see that I have split it up into two parts take notes as I write this down for you here we go I am applying for this post because having researched the job description and person specification in detail the experience skills and qualities I have are a strong match for the role I have many years experience with in similar positions and I have always gone above and beyond what is required to help my employer Excel from a commercial and service delivery perspective for example in my previous job I worked as part of a team who hoped to the organization surpass its previous sales revenues for three years running I have to offer many quality skills and experiences that I feel will benefit your organization these include a positive work ethic a constant drive towards continuous improvement being a loyal supportive and cooperative team member and also being someone who can plan organize and complete their work with the minimum of supervision I feel strongly that if you hire me in the position of xxx you will be pleased with my knowledge my levels of expertise and above all my enthusiasm and drive for carrying out my duties - a very iced so all you would need to do is change the xxx for the title of the job that you are applying for now obviously you can use that but please do make sure that before you do you read it again and make sure all the qualities and skills are applicable to the ones that you actually possess but that is an example of a successful job application form answer now let me give you these seven important tips for job application form success now these tips are what the top 1% of candidates do time and time again to pass their application forms please make sure you take a note of them read them and follow them because this is how you pass an application form number one always follow the guidance notes and the instructions carefully so to give you an example the application form is actually a filtering process when a job is advertised that requires the completion of an application form the Assessor uses this as a way to filter out lots of applicants because there will be lots of people applying now if you fill out the application form in the wrong color ink for example or if you exceed the stated word count for the answers you will not get through to the next stage because that shows that you can't follow instructions which is a very basic requirement of any job tip number two read the Job Description before you complete the application form now why do I say that well this will then enable you to extract words and phrases from the job description and then you can use them in your answers on the application form and that's a really good thing to do to make it easy for the person marking the application form now at some stage during this tutorial I'm going to give you eight really strong key words and phrases that you can use that are a match for the majority of job descriptions so let me give you an example if part of the role that you are applying for requires you to work as part of a team then you would say on your application form I have many years experience of working as part of a team to achieve difficult and time-sensitive tasks and projects so then you are aligning your skills and qualities to the essential requirements the role hence making it easy for the person who is marking your application for tip number three grammar spelling and punctuation form part of the application form scoring criteria so make sure you read your application form carefully before you submit it but more importantly ask someone who is qualified to read over it for you to check for any errors because if there are errors within grammar spelling and punctuation you are basically making it easy for the person to say that's no good because they can't write correctly or follow simple instructions number four give evidence of how your skills and qualities are a match for the role so anybody can say I am a good at working under pressure but backing it up with evidence is a different matter altogether so for example if you are required within the role to be good at customer service and care anybody can write down on an application form I am competent in delivering great customer service but backing it up is a different different way all together so let me give you an example I have many years experience delivering high quality customer service and care for example in a previous job I was the first point of contact for our valued customers and I had set goals I needed to achieve in terms of customer service standards so that is segment you're good at customer service and then giving an example ie giving evidence tip number five put down the names of references so if you are required to give a reference ie somebody who supports your application do not put available upon request this is what the majority of people will do however if you put down the names of references on your application form actual names and contact details it proves you and that person are confident in your ability to do the job virtually all application forms that I read in the past would say available upon request and it just tells me that you don't want to give a reference yet therefore how do I know that you can really carry out the job correctly so my advice is to always make sure you put down two references the names of the people who will support you in your application number six choose these hobbies and interests to show on your application form that you are a highly employable person so sometimes on job application forms it tells you to state what you do in your spare time what are your hobbies and interests these are the three that I recommend you give obviously providing they are a match for what you do that you spend quality time with your family that you read non-fiction books to help yourself continually develop and improve and also you learn new skills and develop existing ones so for example if you play a musical instrument that's a great thing to put down develop existing skills might be playing a team sport or activity so those are the three things that I recommend you put down on your application form number seven this is a great one use power words and phrases on your application form these are fantastic so there are specific powerful key words and phrases the top 1% of candidates use on their application forms what are they let me show you what these eight are now take a note of these here we go number one I have read the job description and the person specification and I'm confident I have the necessary skills qualities and attributes to excel within the position so that's a great thing to put down on your application form number two you are clearly an organization that sets high standards genuinely cares about its customers and looks to support its staff so they can thrive as part of the team number three I am resilient determined and enthusiastic number four I am someone who accepts feedback positively with a view to continually improving and developing within my work number five I am a positive resilient enthusiastic and supportive team worker who takes great pride in the work I produce for my employer I fully understand how my performance within this role can impact the performance of your organization and its commercial objectives number seven if you employ me in this position I will work hard to consistently achieve my targets then continually seek to employ within the role and number eight I am hard-working focused ambitious and adaptable I can be relied upon to achieve any given task without supervision so you can pick one or two out of those eight powerful keywords and phrases that put you across as a highly employable person now if you would like more help let's say you're
