What is a job application?
نوکری کی درخواست کیا ہے؟

A job application is a formal document that sums up your factual education and experience for your potential employer. It contains confidential candidate information for both recruiters and hiring personnel to review.

You may find that when you go online to submit your resume to a company that you're asked to fill out a digital application. Other times, companies will ask you to come in and fill out an application by hand, often during the interview or onboarding process. Unlike your resume, your job application is a legally-defendable document. It's important that the information included is thorough and accurate.

Often, recruiters will include a digital job application as part of a job application package where you are asked to submit additional items like your resume, references and cover letter.

نوکری کی درخواست ایک باضابطہ دستاویز ہوتی ہے جو آپ کے امکانی آجر کے لئے آپ کی حقیقت پسندی کی تعلیم اور تجربے کو پورا کرتی ہے۔ اس میں بھرتی کرنے والوں اور جائزہ لینے کے عملے کی خدمات لینے کے لئے امیدواروں کی خفیہ معلومات شامل ہیں۔ آپ کو یہ معلوم ہوگا کہ جب آپ آن لائن جاتے ہیں تو کسی کمپنی کو اپنا تجربہ کار جمع کرواتے ہیں جس سے آپ سے ڈیجیٹل ایپلی کیشن کو پُر کرنے کے لئے کہا جاتا ہے۔ دوسرے اوقات ، کمپنیاں آپ کو انٹرویو یا جہاز پر چلانے کے عمل کے دوران ، ہاتھ سے درخواست داخل کرنے کو کہتے ہیں۔ آپ کے تجربے کی فہرست کے برعکس ، آپ کی ملازمت کی درخواست قانونی طور پر قابل دفاعی دستاویز ہے۔ یہ ضروری ہے کہ شامل معلومات پوری اور درست ہو۔ اکثر ، بھرتی کرنے والوں میں ملازمت کی درخواست کے پیکیج کے ایک حصے کے طور پر ڈیجیٹل جاب کی درخواست شامل ہوگی جہاں آپ کو اپنے ریزیومے ، حوالہ جات اور کور لیٹر جیسے اضافی اشیاء پیش کرنے کو کہا جاتا ہے۔

How to apply for a job

Here's how you can apply for a job that helps you achieve your career goals:

  1. Search for jobs in your field
  2. Research hiring companies
  3. Ready your resume for submission
  4. Decide if a cover letter is right for you
  5. Submit your resume and online application
  6. Application follow-up

1. Search for jobs in your field

Research by the Pew Research Center suggests that almost 80% of applicants in 2015 used the internet as a primary means of locating jobs. That number has likely grown in the five years since that study was published. Either way, it's clear that the most common way to search for jobs in your field is to do an internet search. Websites like Indeed make it easier to connect with employers who are looking for your skills and experience.

2. Research hiring companies

If you started with a job search rather than a company search, make sure to research every company that you are considering applying to. A strong starting point is to go online to the company's "about" page. You should also perform a search query on the company name to look for any news, current events or reviews about the company.

Once you've exhausted your internet search, move on to connecting with people who work at the companies you are applying to. By networking with people who work at companies you are considering working for, you get a better feel for overall company culture.

3. Ready your resume for submission

Readying your resume for the application process means making sure it's up-to-date and optimized for the job you are applying to. First, keeping it up-to-date means adding your most recent education, experience and skills. In a chronological resume, most recent education and experience should be listed first in each section.

You can optimize your resume for the job you are applying to by reviewing the job description and using relevant keywords that apply to your skillset through your resume.

4. Decide if a cover letter is right for you

In modern job applications, a cover letter is not always expected. Decide if you need to submit a cover letter. Sometimes you can tell because it will say so on the application. However, if you do opt to include a cover letter, make sure that it accents your resume and tells an interesting story about you.

5. Submit resume and online application

After preparing your resume and cover letter, you may need to go online and fill out an application where you can attach your external documents. Avoid copying and pasting directly from your resume into the online application because that can lead to formatting issues. Instead, answer each question thoughtfully and shape your answer to the needs of the company.

6. Application follow-up

Hiring managers may need time to sort through resumes and applications. While you may be tempted to follow up soon after applying, wait about two weeks before reaching out to check the status of your application. This gives hiring managers adequate time to sort through candidates and makes you look more professional. You can submit an application follow-up letter in the form of an email to the hiring manager if you have that information. If not, you can call the company and ask to speak to the hiring manager for the position.

Tips for applicants

Before you apply for a job, follow these tips to better prepare yourself for the application:

  • Review social media. First, review your social media. Make sure your privacy settings are set how you want them and that anything visible to the public is appropriately professional.

  • Locate hiring managers online. Using business social media sites and professional networks, you can connect with hiring managers at the companies you are interested in. This will allow you to connect with managers, personalize your communications and stand out as a candidate.

  • Connect with employees. Connect with other employees at the company to learn what it's like to work there, what kinds of things they look for in an employee and the overall culture of the business.
