The standard job application, done neatly

Plenty of employers — especially in retail, hospitality, trades, healthcare, and small business — still ask candidates to complete a formal employment application, even when a resume is on file. Unlike a resume, the application is a structured, signed document: it asks the same questions of every candidate and includes a certification that the answers are true, which is why employers rely on it.

What the form covers

Expect fields for your contact information, the position and availability, work eligibility, employment history with dates, supervisors, and reasons for leaving, education, relevant skills or licenses, and professional references. The final section is a signed statement certifying accuracy and, often, authorizing the employer to verify the information provided.

Why fill it out online?

A typed application is simply easier to read than handwriting squeezed into small boxes — and easier for you, too, since you can revise an answer without starting over. With FinishMyDocs you complete every field in the browser, e-sign the certification, and download a crisp PDF to email to the hiring manager or print and hand in. The saved copy in your dashboard also means your dates and references are ready the next time an application asks for them.
