PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 2 IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Second Quarter, First Semester, A.Y. 2022-2023
Job Application
What is a job application?
A job application is a method employer use to collect information about you to see if you are a good fit for the
position. There are usually four parts of a job application:
1. Personal information
2. Employment information, also called work history
3. Education and training
4. References.
Why do I need to fill out a job application?
Many employers want workers to fill out a job application. Employers use applications to see who can do a job.
Employers also use applications to read about your past jobs and training. Your application is important because it shows
employers what you have done and what you can do. Your application should contain information that will encourage an
employer to give you an interview.
Even if you do not need a job application for a certain job, it is good to make one of your own and keep it up to date.
It is easier to fill out job applications if you have one of your own to reference. This is especially true if you are filling out
online, or Internet, job applications.
