Job applications

These factors are not necessarily all the guide-points in final seal selection, as individual conditions may be so special or unusual as to justify a special design or a compounding of the features of several standard designs. Only rarely will any seal be perfect for the service or job application. Many types and designs of seals are available, each to fill a certain need. Table 12-7 lists a few for general applications.

On your resume, refrain from including any references to past salary or your desired salary. If you re completing a job application and there s a question about your salary requirements, instead of answering with a specific or general dollar amount, write negotiable. 

One of the worst mistakes you can make as a job applicant is lying on your resume. These days, almost all employers check resumes and references before offering someone a job. If an employer discovers that you weren t 100% honest, the chances that you will receive an offer are minute. Your resume should be used to help you land jobs you re qualified for, not as a tool to convey lies or misinformation to a potential employer. Also, be forewarned that your new boss will expect you to utilize all the skills you list on your resume. Wouldn t... 

Another valuable piece of your overall resume package, which will be submitted to an employer during a job interview or upon request after submitting your resume and cover letter, is your list of personal and professional references. Most companies will simply ask you to fill in this information on the company s standard job application, or the hiring manager or someone in the HR department may contact... 

If you re applying for jobs at a local retail store or small business, having an electronic resume is far less important, because to apply for one of these jobs, you will most likely visit the employer in person to submit a resume, complete a job application, and perhaps be interviewed on the spot. 

Most employers require applicants to complete a job application prior to an interview. An application is a questionnaire that takes a few minutes to complete, but it s a useful tool for helping employers evaluate you as an applicant. 

Providing references is another key component to virtually all job applications. Prior to listing anyone s name and contact information, check with the people you want to list, and obtain their permission to use them as references. Also, ask what address and phone number you should provide to potential employers, because some people don t like having their home phone number or direct office line given out. Be sure to tell the people you use as a reference exactly what position you re applying for, so they will be prepared if one of your potential employers contacts them. 

As a job applicant, it s important to show your gratitude to everyone who helps you find and land a job. This includes the people you interview with, as well as any networking contacts who help you find job opportunities. If you demonstrate that you re grateful for people s... 

One of the first steps in hiring is for a candidate to fill out a job application. Job applications serve two purposes. The first is to help screen unqualified candidates. Applications can identify whether candidates have the necessary training, degrees, and experience for the job. The second purpose of applications is to provide background about the candidate for the interview.

Maintenance of an impeccably clean storeroom and good physical organization that are essential for the preservation of the fabric collection is impossible without qualified personnel. Selection of a caretaker (not to be confused with the person responsible for the upkeep of the museum building) is likely to be very difficult. As the museum fabric field is not an established professional area, it is best to train an individual according to his or her ability and development. At the outset, he must be sensitive in touch and vision, have a strong sense of cleanliness and neatness, and also an ability to tolerate tedious routines. The position should not be filled casually by any job applicant who comes along. 

Finally, it should be emphasized that not everyone entering the computational chemistry job market will immediately and easily find a secure, high-paying job. Every employer wants to assemble the strongest possible team of scientists (and other employees).

These days, because of the widely accepted practice of urine testing, and the newer method of hair sample analysis, recrea-tiunal users of illegal drugs run a greater risk of exposure than ever before. Many employers reijuire their workers to submit to random urine testing and also screen job applicants in this way. Positive test results commonly mean loss of jobs. 

The toughest letter to crank out is one that is meant to impress, as we all know from writing job applications if it s hard work to slip off a letter to a friend, maybe you re trying too hard to be terrific. A letter is only a report to someone who already likes you for reasons other than your brilliance. Take it easy. 

If you have the time and resources to customize a resume for each job announcement you respond to, you can use this section to show that the position you most want matches the one advertised. However, if you plan to use one resume for a variety of job applications, beware presenting an employment objective so narrowly focused that it excludes you from a particular application pool. 

International compatibility and recognition of these qualifications would seem essential in a profession whose activities are being increasingly globalized. Many employment opportunities in pharmaceutical medicine are with companies that have become international conglomerates. Intracompany transfers and international job applications can only be facilitated by universally recognized and accredited qualifications.

Atopy, defined either by a positive skin prick test or presence of IgE antibodies in serum to common environmental allergens, may be used as a criterion for increased risk of development of occupational allergy. Exclusion of workers with a positive skin prick test can, however, mean denying employment to approximately one third of job applicants, only a proportion of whom would develop occupational asthma [17]. More stringent criteria for IgE sensitisation...
