How do I FILL IN A PERSONNEL SPECIFICATION FORM CORRECTLY ON A JOB APPLICATION FORM?

Usually there is a section on the application form which asks you to demonstrate your suitability for the job. The personal specification form usually tells you what the employer is looking for. They often separate these into 'essential' and 'desirable' requirements. It will often tell you what they are looking for on the application form and what will be sought at interview. If this is the case, focus on what they say they want to see on the application form. Make sure you cover all 'essential' requirements and as many 'desirable' requirements as possible. Use bullet points/sub-headings for each requirement and give examples of how you meet the criteria - make it easy for the employer to check through - don't just write one long paragraph.

Firstly do not use caps all the time, and start sentences with a capital letter. If you rush the application as you have this question, then don't bother. Don't waffle on about irrelevant stuff like " I used to tap dance when I was 4". Give them any past medical problems, any hobbies and work experience etc. Most of all tell the truth. Most employers can see right through an untruthfull application, so be prepared for some awkward questions if you make it to the interview.
