Irrespective of the job and the size of the company, whether it is an internal or an external advertisement, you should always have a formal application form. An up-to-date application form ensures you have a common set of information from which to make your selection. Use this sample application form to draft one to suit your own particular needs.
You will notice that the job application form template does not ask questions regarding race, religion, ethnic origin, sex, belief, marital status, sexual orientation, dependants/children/child-minding arrangements, or age; this is because such questions are potenially discriminatory.
This template is in a downloadable Microsoft Word format and has 2 pages.
