Also, as part of the job application process , you may need to take an online employment test and be prepared to provide employment references. Before you start looking for jobs and completing online job applications, you'll need an updated version of your resume ready to upload.

You may also need a cover letter to apply for some jobs. Make sure your resume includes your current contact information and work history.

Save your resume as yournameresume. doc, rather than with a generic file name like "resume. Have a basic cover letter ready that you can customize for each job you apply to. You should always include a cover letter when applying for a job unless the job listing specifically says not to.

Some sites let you upload an existing resume from Microsoft Word on your computer with the click of a button. Sometimes you will be asked to convert the document to a PDF or other kind of file.

On other sites, you may need to copy and paste your resume into an online profile or use a resume builder that is incorporated into the job application system. Have the details of your employment history ready. Online application systems typically ask for the same information as paper job applications, including your contact information, educational background, and employment history including job titles, starting and ending dates of employment, and salary for each position.

Some job boards and company websites require users to create an account when they apply for jobs. It's a good idea to start your online job search by creating an account on at least one of the major job boards including Monster , CareerBuilder, and Dice for tech jobs.

If you're seeking a professional position, it's also important to create a profile on LinkedIn. To create an account, you'll need to register with a current email address so that your account can be confirmed. Your username will either be your email address or a name you select.

You'll be able to choose a password for your account. Some sites allow job seekers to register with their Facebook or LinkedIn information. On those sites, you'll able to use your Facebook or LinkedIn username and password to access the site. You may also be able to import your employment history from the site you use to connect.

Most jobs sites provide a system for job seekers to post a resume online. After you upload your resume, you'll be able to use it to quickly apply for jobs on the site. Depending on the site, you'll be able to make your resume viewable for employers which will give your job search extra exposure.

When you look for jobs online, the most effective way to search is to use job keywords to find jobs in the career fields and industries you are interested in.

Remember to choose the right type of field for each kind of application form. A job application form will need different kinds of information from the user of an event application form.

Change all the colors, fonts, background image , and layout, making sure that the form looks exactly as your brand identity. And, in case you change your mind about your last edit on how the form looks, all you have to do is undo the action. Now it is just a reminder that you can add any form automation by integrating it with over apps through Zapier, plus native integrations and features that MightyForms has especially for your application form.

You can go to the Rules tab and set up logic rules that can send notifications to your team based on respondents' answers. And on the Integration tab, you can set up connections between apps that will help you with, among others, form analytics, files storage, CRM, and event schedule.

Limit the form access if it is a limited offer, for example, and protect it with a password in case it is only for invited people, such as your staff. To share the form you must first have it published. Make sure your spelling is correct and that all settings are working properly by testing the form yourself before sharing it.

And there are a few best practices to make sure you reduce your application form abandonment rate. Being straight to the point helps you reduce form abandonment and guarantee all the essential information you need.

Thinking about all the information and data you need before starting to build your application form is efficient and helps you create brief and direct questions. But you can go beyond and make questions that will help you decide among job applicants, like why they are pursuing a position in a specific area IT, HR, Marketing, etc.

Personalization is responsible for most conversions and definitely helps increase form submissions. With the recall feature, you can add the answer from a previous form field, as the Name field, to the following questions.

Your application form must follow an organized structure. My suggestion is for you to divide it into parts by topic. For example, have a section for personal information name, email address, the preferred method for contact, etc.

One more feature you can use to keep your application form well structured is the Logic Rules aka conditional logic. Speed up your processes and reduce the response time using form automation.

You can make sure all your application forms are sent directly to the responsible team, using the logic rules feature, and that all applicants are properly thanked for their time and application. We are going to talk in-depth about some types of automation you can easily add to your application form by MightyForms to make it work by itself, storing and organizing all data into folders and spreadsheets of your choice.

Form automation is responsible for saving time and money for your business. For a job requiring such skills, a well produced video resume provides an advantage over those applicants who apply in the more traditional manner. Here are some tips to create a video resume:.
