The habit of writing an application for employment has been preserved since Soviet times. Modern legislation allows you to do without it. However, many employers still prefer to receive an application from a new employee. Why it is convenient and how to apply in different cases, read the article.

Why is it convenient to fill out a job application

The list of documents that a potential employee is required to provide you is listed in Art. 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. First of all, these are:

• passport;
• work book;
• SNILS.

In some cases, additional documents are required. For example, those liable for military service provide a military ID or registration certificate. If you need special knowledge or qualifications for work, you will need a diploma, certificates. And you cannot work with minors without a certificate of no criminal record. There are no applications in this list.

But almost all personnel officers, when hiring, still ask the employee to write the usual application. After all, its main advantage is that it reflects a person’s desire to get exactly this job. The application does not require any strict rules for registration, while it allows you to make marks on the form. Usually, the manager puts a resolution on it: he expresses his consent to accept the employee and makes recommendations for the HR department.

How to fill out an application for employment

Since the Code does not define the concept of an application for employment, there are no requirements for its preparation. As there are no nuances when writing an application in 2023. It is important that the text contains all the necessary information for concluding an employment contract.

The application is written in free form by hand or printed on a printer.

1. In the upper right corner, the employee writes the name of the potential employer, position, last name and initials of the manager in the dative case. Example: “To the Director of Vympel LLC Soloviev A.B.”
2. Under the details of the employer are the data of the employee, his last name, first name and patronymic in the genitive case. Example: “from Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich”.
3. The word “Statement” is written in the central block, and then the text.
4. In the final block, the employee puts the date, signature, last name, first name and patronymic.

The following must be visible in the text of the application:

• the position for which the person is applying;
• subdivision in which work is expected;
• start date;
• various nuances, for example, remote work or part-time work.

Application templates for various cases

Consider how to fill out a job application in different cases.

Standard application for employment

Usually the application looks something like this:

Application for employment of a foreigner

Application for a job in the order of transfer

You can transfer a person within your company from one position to another or accept him in the order of transfer from another organization.

If you are transferring an employee to another position, ask him to write down the reason for the transfer.

If you plan to accept an employee by transfer from another company, make a request to him. Based on the request, the person will quit their previous job. Then he will write an application for an appointment with you and reflect in it the fact of transfer from the previous company.

Application for a temporary job

The application form for hiring to replace a temporarily absent employee is as follows:

Application for a part-time job

Recommendations that prevent a candidate from ever getting a job

HR managers fundamentally distrust letters of recommendation that job seekers bring on paper, signed and stamped. Because they know very well how they are made. Most often, a person comes to his manager and says that he needs a letter of recommendation. To which the authorities replies: “I have no time, write yourself what you want, I will sign it.” However, hiring managers are very interested in recommendations – from your former colleagues, bosses, partners, or well-known experts in the industry. How can a candidate properly prepare for the collection of references:

 Your CV must include 5-7 people with whom you have worked in different companies, with email addresses, phone numbers, names and job titles. Another option is to contact people who are known in the market and who can give positive feedback about you.

If you post a resume in the public domain on job search sites, indicate the name, surname and position of the person who will recommend you, but never leave the phone numbers and other contact details of these people in the public domain. Just write “contacts on demand”. You can specify contacts only if you send a resume to the company directly.

 If you are currently working, but are looking for a new job without your current employer, you should hardly indicate the employees who are currently working in your company as recommenders, so as not to shine the current company and the fact of a job search. Whom to indicate? Either your clients, or partners, or well-known people from the market who can recommend you.

 You need to warn people who refer you in advance that representatives of such and such a company can call them and ask for recommendations about you. The person must be allowed to give his phone – it is impossible to use it without the knowledge of the recommender. Not all people want their contacts to become public.

A person must be prepared for the fact that they will call him, otherwise he will not have time to collect his thoughts and will not give a meaningful response. Warn him that he will be asked to talk about your job responsibilities, give a personal description, name your specific work successes, say how long and in what capacity he has known you, indicate your strong professional and personal qualities.

 If you’re expecting the referee to just say you’re a good person and the recruiter is satisfied with the answer, you’re very wrong. Quite often there are situations when a HR specialist calls a recommender and he starts praising the candidate. He keeps asking: how did you work with him? And why did the name leave? Interesting details are usually found out, and about 20% of recommendations smoothly move into the category of anti-recommendations. Therefore, you need to be 100% sure that the recommender will not be able to say anything that will play against you in the end.

HR managers want to know the real reason why you left your last job. Quite often candidates answer this question insincerely. For example, there was some kind of conflict and the person was asked to leave, and the candidate assures that he left on his own, because “he completed all the tasks.”

If a candidate is applying for a high position, recruiters will certainly ask for recommendations not only from their immediate supervisor or colleagues, but also from well-known specialists in this field in general, because the reputation of the future top manager should go ahead of him. They will ask what projects you took part in, where you made mistakes, what were the relationships in the team. It doesn’t matter if you were loved at your last job or not. It is important that you are able to build conflict-free team working relationships and not destroy them even if there are disagreements.

 All people are subjective, which is why a qualified recruiter does not limit himself to one recommendation, but collects 3-5 of them, sometimes even seven. Only then can an objective picture be obtained.

People often settle scores with the help of recommendations, especially if there was not so much a work conflict as a personal conflict. In this case, I recommend that all candidates be the first to talk about problems at their previous job. For example, if you resigned with noise, don’t be silent, you still won’t be able to hide this fact. And if you tell first, you can interpret the story in your favor. It’s not about lying, it’s about getting your point across.
