Completing the Application

 Don't cut corners! As you are completing your applications, keep in mind that they are as
important to your job search as your resume, letter of interest, and other documents in
your application packet. You are encouraged not to rush through completing your
applications. Regional applications may be required instead of or in addition to the
employer's individual application.
 Be consistent with the information you provide on the application and on your resume.
Make sure there are no contradictions of dates and places of employment and education.
 Do not make up an answer. Be honest. If you embellish, it will eventually catch up with you
and you will leave a negative impression on the employer.
 Extra-curricular activities, which you may be willing to sponsor or coach, may be listed on
most applications. Your willingness to sponsor activities can sometimes enhance your
consideration for positions.
 Follow the application directions exactly. The directions may be different for each
application you complete, so read all the directions carefully. Enter the correct information
in the correct fields.
 Grammatical rules should be followed at all times. Teachers are held to high standards.
Errors are unacceptable.
 Humor in your responses on an application can come across as sarcastic or flippant.
 Remember, an application may be a prospective employer's first introduction to you; make
it a professional one.
 Incomplete applications give the appearance of poor attention to detail. It is always best to
respond to each question posed on an application whenever possible. An employer would
not ask it if s/he did not want an answer.
 Never answer a question with "See my résumé."
