Application blank

Application blanks are useful when a large number of individuals apply for a relatively small number of jobs. However, their usefulness is very dependent on the processes used to design the applicant blank and the associated scoring process. An 

While many organizations still request job applicants to provide a CV, the use of an application blank has many advantages over the traditional CV. Wood and Payne (1998) offer a competency-based approach to application blank design. Using a competency-based format, the application blank only requests information on job-related competencies, as opposed to the CV which may well contain a lot of information which is not relevant to the selection process. Further, an applicant blank can be structured such that the required information is presented by the applicant in specific sections, whereas the unstandardized nature of CVs can require a recruiter to undertake a lot of searching in order to identify the required information. 

If used, it is likely that an application blank will form a hurdle in the selection process. That is some applicants will be rejected based on their application blank information, while others will pass the application blank stage and continue on in the selection process. As noted employees in the organization will make assumptions about the application blank, and about its ability to make valid and reliable continue or reject decisions. Employees are likely to assume that the decisions that are made are valid and reliable and that those that pass the application blank hurdle are indeed likely to be employees that can perform in the job, and do this in a safe manner. Given that a number of other very important perceptions and behaviors flow from these assumptions (as shown in Fig. 5.1), it is very important that the application blank and its scoring actually does provide a valid and reliable assessment of job applicants ability to perform the job in a safe way.

Assessing a job applicant s experience by examining their work history in their CV, or their entry on work history in an application blank, is likely to provide a very poor predictor of the applicant s experience-related risk potential. As noted above, cumulative work tenure does not equate to experience. Experience-related risk potential is defined as the degree to which the applicant s lack of relevant previous experience exposes the applicant to risk in the new job (should they be hired). Table 3.1 outiines how this varies across the four types of new employee (type of... 

The following sections examine two processes associated with recmitment activities (i.e., job analysis, and realistic safety preview), and a range of selection predictors (application blank, applicant interview, cogiutive, physical, psychomotor, sensory/perceptual ability testing, personality testing, and attitude measurement) which an organization can use to help predict job applicant (new employee s) safety behavior, and overall their ability to work safely. Where appropriate, recommendations on how recruitment and selection processes can be used to improve new employee safety are discussed. Finally, this chapter examines how employees perceptions of organizational processes can be made more realistic.

Eollowing is a list of information that could be pertinent in the development of your project. You may not be able to provide information in all areas and some areas may not be applicable. Please mark N/A in areas intentionally left blank. The more information you can provide, the better we will be able to meet your needs. You can use this electronic form for filling in the information or provide information in your own format. 

In the DWASH column of the output, NO indicates that no downwash is included, HS means that Huber-Snyder downwash is included, SS means that Schulman-Scire downwash is included, and NA means that downwash is not applicable since the downwind distance is less than SL. A blank in the DWASH column means that no calculation was made for that distance because the concentration was so small. 

Do not leave items on Form R blank unless specifically directed to do so if an item does not apply to you, enter NA," not applicable, in the space provided. If your information does not fill all the spaces provided for a type of information, enter NA, in the next blank space in the sequence. 

In Section 5, you must account forthe total aggregate releases of the toxic chemical to the environment from your facility for the calendar year. Releases to the environment include emissions to the air, discharges to surface waters, and on-site releases to land and underground injection wells. If you have no releases to a particular media (e.g., stack air), enter not applicable, NA do not leave any part of Section 5 blank. Check the box on the last line of this section if you use Part IV, the supplemental information sheet.

Discussion. One very important application of potassium dichromate is in a back-titration for the environmental determination16 of the amount of oxygen required to oxidise all the organic material in a sample of impure water, such as sewage effluent. This is known as the chemical oxygen demand (C.O.D.) and is expressed in terms of milligrams of oxygen required per litre of water, mg L l. The analysis of the impure water sample is carried out in parallel with a blank determination on pure, double-distilled water. 

M sulphuric acid at 25 °C is 1.43 0.05 volts. It can be used only in acid solution, best in 0.5M or higher concentrations as the solution is neutralised, cerium(IV) hydroxide [hydrated cerium(IV) oxide] or basic salts precipitate. The solution has an intense yellow colour, and in hot solutions which are not too dilute the end point may be detected without an indicator this procedure, however, necessitates the application of a blank correction, and it is therefore preferable to add a suitable indicator. 

The Karl Fischer procedure was applied to the determination of water present in hydrated salts or adsorbed on the surface of solids. The procedure, where applicable, was more rapid and direct than the commonly used drying process. A sample of the finely powdered solid, containing 5-10 millimoles (90-180 mg) of water, was dissolved or suspended in 25 mL of dry methanol in a 250-mL glass-stoppered graduated flask. The mixture was titrated with standard Karl Fischer reagent to the usual electrometric end point. A blank titration was also carried out on a 25 mL sample of the methanol used to determine what correction (if any) needed to be applied to the titre obtained with the salt. 

The main applications of coated cemented carbides are tips and blanks, indexable inserts, milling tools, turning, and boring tools and circular saws. 

In our application of the transformation given in Equation 1 to these data, we restrict t to positive values. This restriction is based on models of the various sources of processing contamination. Possible sources of contamination include the chemical reagents which might add a constant level to the blank and air borne particles which might add a variable level with positive skewness. There does not seem to be any reason to include a constant level that is negative. Therefore, we have adopted this restriction.
