Tips for Completing the Commonwealth of Virginia Application for Employment Form
 

The following tips are offered as a general guide to help you prepare and complete the Commonwealth of Virginia Application for Employment form.  You are responsible for the accuracy, clarity and completeness of the information you provide.  We wish you the very best in your search for employment!

If responding to a specific vacancy, review the requirements of the position as noted on the job announcement.

Review the application thoroughly before completing it.  Know what is being asked.

Take a good look at yourself.

• Take time to review your education, training, skills and experience.
•  Become familiar with what you have to offer for the position.
•  Do not overlook, take for granted or discount what you have to offer.

Review what you have done in each paid or volunteer/internship job you have held.

• Describe your experience in clear terms and relate it to the job vacancy when you can.
• Do not assume the employer will know what you have done unless you clearly write it.

If you are applying for a trade or technical position, be sure to describe the tools and equipment you have used and include any training and licenses you may hold.

Be sure to note in the appropriate space if you have a driver’s license, as many jobs require it.

If the application does not provide you enough space, use supplemental sheets.  Too often applicants make the mistake of leaving key information out because of a lack of space.

Fully complete the application even if you provide a resume.  If a resume is not required, it may be discarded and only the application used.

It is a good idea, if you have time before the application deadline, to complete a draft application and have someone who knows you review it for any spelling or content errors.

Remember, the application represents you!

• Make sure the application is neat and easy to read.
• Print, type or complete the application on computer.

Sign the application.  Unsigned applications are incomplete and will not be considered by CNU.

• Remember, by signing the application you are verifying that the information is correct.
• If the application contains incorrect information and you get the job, your employment could be terminated for submitting a falsified application.

Do your very best to communicate what you have to offer for the position and we wish you the very best with your job search.
