1. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying

3. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Many people charge headlong into the job application writing frenzy
with little consideration really of why they are apply, what job they are
applying for, what are the requirements/skills that organisation wants
you to have or in fact if you fit the job really at all.
 The experienced and considered job application writer will not charge
like a mad bull into the rushes but will rather consider, analyse and
ponder on many issues before putting pen to paper or in fact fingers to
keyboards.

4. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Why is it that job application writers think the more jobs they apply for
– the better chance of success? What a lot of nonsense!
 If you keep applying for the wrong jobs or jobs where you are under or
over qualified people writing job applications, where you don’t fit the
job and where the job doesn’t fir you – it wont matter how many
thousand applications you prepare – you wont win the job – plain and
simple.

5. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 For instance I had a client who badly wanted to win a job as a Transport
Inspector.
 He has all the skills and qualifications to apply but only wanted a job in
a specific part of a specific city.
 That is his prerogative due to his personal requirements and family
situation. The location the client required the job to be in though
meant that there would be extremely heavy competition from
hundreds, maybe thousands of others for that job.

6. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 The client then asked if he thought if he applied for the same job in a
more rural area would he have a better chance of success.
 Of course yes he would, given the competition for a job in a more rural
area would not be as intense.
 The client discussed the situation with his wife and they agreed that a
move was achievable if he was successful.

7. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Certainly if he did win the job there is a good possibility if he proves he
is a quality operator of winning a transfer to his more desired location
somewhere down the track.
 So location of a job is an important consideration for you as a job
application writer.
 What other issues should you consider as part of your job application
writing process?

8. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Well to me you would obviously want to consider the possible career
path available in the advertised position.
 Do you want a career path and the prospect of advancement? Are you
happy to just sit in the same job without the prospects of a potential
career?
 These questions need to be considered and you need to do your due
diligence and do some research about the position.

9. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Similarly wouldn’t you want to know about the pay rate, the working
environment, public transport access/travelling time to and from work,
the bonafides of the organisation advertising the job, the ethos and
goals and objectives of that organisation.

10. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 Let’s say you are passionate as we should be about cheap/child labour
and the organisation you are applying for the job with doesn’t really
have a process in place to ensure that ethical work practise are in place
across their supply chain – wouldn’t you want to know that?
 Or you are heavily focused on recycling and pollution and the damage
to the environment – would working for a coal mining company really
be a good fit for you?

11. Job Application Writing –
Some considerations before applying
 So yes you obviously need to have the experience and skills that the
prospective employer is seeking but there are many many more
considerations that the smart job application writer will factor into their
job application writing strategy.
