Q: What are the four main types of information that application

forms provide?
The application form is a good means of quickly collecting verifiable,
and therefore potentially accurate, historical data from the candidate. It
usually includes information on education, prior work history, and other
experience related to the job. The application form can provide four types
of information:

 Personal Details
 Education
 Employment History
 Activities and Interests

Personal Details
This is the most straightforward part to fill out. Make sure you input the right
information in the appropriate places.
Education
You will be expected to list the names and addresses of schools or colleges
you have attended, and may be required to give academic grades for
qualifications you have received from secondary school through to
university.
First-year grades may also be taken into consideration, even though these
will not necessarily count towards your final degree classification.
You must meet or exceed the minimum academic requirements required for
the job you are applying for. Some employers, particularly those using
automated recruiting systems, will simply disregard applications that fall
short of minimum academic requirements.
If you have a strong, valid reason why your grades do not meet the minimum
requirements of the job you are applying for, then call the human resources
department to discuss your application. Be prepared to include
documentation to substantiate the reasons you are giving for your grades,
such as a doctor's letter.
Employment History
Before you start answering this section, read any guidelines carefully to
make sure you are filling it out exactly as the employer requests. You will be
asked to give details of employment including vacation work and
internships, usually starting with the most recent.
If your employment history is limited, include details of holiday or part-time
jobs, temporary work, and unpaid or voluntary work experience. Include
anything that is particularly relevant to the job you are applying for.
Activities and Interests
Make sure you include relevant skills, activities and interests. Be sure to
highlight highly regarded skills (such as second languages) above hobbies
such as cars or music.
