Sample: Job Application form

A job application form is a document that collects information from job seekers who want to apply for a position in an organisation.

It typically includes questions about the applicant’s personal details, education, work experience, skills, references, and availability. A job application form can help employers screen and compare candidates more efficiently and consistently. Many organisations have this as an automated process or as a step in an electronic job board – e.g. Seek. Others have it listed on their career website with instructions for candidates.

The job application form is often the first interaction a candidate will have with an organisation, so it is important that the employer is making a good first impression. In addition, there are some questions that employers should not ask in a job application form in Australia, as they may be considered discriminatory or irrelevant to the role. Employers can access our Guide: How to Design a Job Application Form for detailed tips and insights.

This Sample: Job Application Form is one example only and employers are encouraged to do their due diligence to ensure that they are creating a form that best fits the unique needs of their organisation.
