1. Five Things to Consider Before Writing
Your Job Application
By Red Tape Busters

3. Five Things to Consider Before Writing Your Job Application
qThe experienced job application writer will consider many many issues
before and during the job application writing process.
qMost job applicants however do not strategically plan their approach
to applying for a job and lots adopt the scatter gun approach – shooting
job applications off to any and every job.
qThe smart applicant will not make this fatal error and will instead
carefully consider each prospective job and only apply for the job that
fits them perfectly and where their skills, experience, attitude etc fits the
job perfectly.

4. Five Things to Consider Before Writing Your Job Application
Before applying for any job here are my top 5 tips that you need to
consider before putting pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard:-
1. Carefully and honestly consider your skills and abilities :
qMost people seriously overestimate their skills and abilities. Job
applicants need to have confidence in their abilities but it is a total waste
of time to overestimate what you are capable of or overplay what
experience you have had in your past.

qIt should become obvious in an interview if the interview panel are
skilled at “grilling” applicants that your skills/experience have been
inflated.
qWorse still, lets say you get through the interview and win the job and
then it is discovered that your skills and experience were um…. not
accurate.
qThis would leave a very sour taste in the mouths of the interview
panel and your credibility might well go down the drain.

All not conducive to a happy working environment! Even worse still what
happens if you win the job and then the job is too big for you and you
fail – disaster disaster disaster!

2. Carefully consider the job – the pay, the conditions, the work
location, any travel required etc etc. :
qThis is vitally important – most people don’t research the job,
ascertain what pay and conditions, where they might have to travel to
for work, will they be required to travel.
qAll of these issues are important for job satisfaction and how the job
will merge with your family requirements, financial needs, social life etc.

qA job that impacts adversely on one or more of your other “lives”
will surely be a job you will come to detest in time.
3. Do you have time to apply :
qAgain a lot of job applicants rush their applications.
qSo it is important that you consider if you have the time to dedicate to
crafting a comprehensive application that hits the mark.

4. Do you have referees who will sing your praises?
qThis issue is seriously undervalued when applying for jobs.
qYour referees MUST say the sky is green if you are claiming in your
interview that the sky is green.
qReferees MUST validate everything you say and be able to eloquently
and powerfully support your claims, skills and experience.

qThe dithering, reluctant or understated referee is to be avoided. You
don’t want a Donald Trump type but you need someone who will
passionately support everything you say.
5. What is my “pitch” when writing my application?
qBefore you start crafting your application, you need to consider how
you are going to approach it, what information/documents are required
and what is your “pitch” to sell yourself firstly to get an interview and
then obviously to win the job.

11. Five Things to Consider Before Writing Your Job Application
qTime spent on developing your strategy and making sure you
understand the application process and exactly what they expect with
your application really is time well spent.
qIf you ponder on these issues before commencing writing your
application, at least then you will give yourself a fighting chance. The
quality job application writer will strategies the job application writing
process and significantly enhance their chance of success.
