The Most Essential Document in Your Job Search


Summary:

Surprisingly, the most crucial document in your job search isn't your resume or cover letter?"it's your job application.

Keywords:

background check, job application, career, resume, job search

Article Body:


When it comes to job hunting, many people assume that a resume or cover letter is the most important document. However, the job application holds significant weight.

Today, over 90% of companies conduct some form of background check on applicants. To facilitate this, most companies require a detailed job application form.

In fact, more than 80% of companies will eliminate candidates if they find discrepancies in their applications. In 2005 alone, half of all background checks uncovered inaccuracies in applicants' information.

It's clear that how you complete your job application directly impacts your hiring potential. Here are four golden rules to ensure you stand out:

Tell the Truth:

Astonishingly, over half of applicants lie on their applications. Don’t make this mistake. Given the prevalence of background checks, honesty is critical. Lies will likely be uncovered, and you’ll lose the opportunity.

Be Neat:

Job applications are key to background checks, so they must be legible. If possible, type your application. If you must write by hand, ensure clarity. Remember, your handwriting should be easily read by anyone reviewing your application.

Be Complete:

Providing comprehensive information is crucial. You never know what details a company may verify. Follow these guidelines:

1. List all diplomas and degrees you have. Some companies may verify only your highest degree, while others will check everything.
2. Include all employment history, including work-study, internships, and volunteer roles.
3. Always provide current contact information for your previous employers.

Be Prepared:

Companies might not disclose the specific information they intend to verify. Some might conduct only a criminal check, while others will check every detail on your application. Be ready for anything.

Additionally, you should be aware of what past employers might say about you. Although there are legal limitations on negative comments, it’s best to be forthcoming about any potential issues.

Before you send out your first resume or respond to a job ad, gather all the detailed information needed for your job application.

Remember, while a polished resume can open doors and strong interview skills can help seal the deal, passing the background check is essential for landing the job.
