Filling out an employment questionnaire is almost inevitable in our time. It contains a fairly large list of questions concerning not only professional skills and experience, but also hobbies, marital status and some other personal data. It is not always clear how to correctly answer all the questions in the questionnaire and whether it is worth doing.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to give the fullest possible information about yourself. You need to understand that employers strive to employ the least random candidates. Therefore, it is important for them to know what you can do, what character you have, what you are interested in, what your inclinations are. The questions in the questionnaire are often directed to clarify such details.
Step 2
Feel free to include detailed addresses. Typically, these questions do not reflect the company's actual need for information about you. They are there just like that, just in case. But if you still have a shadow of doubt, ask your HR representative about the reason for these questions. The only thing that you definitely can not write about is the presence of private property.
Step 3
Try to keep information about parents and close relatives briefly. As a rule, these data are not taken into account by companies, but in order to avoid unnecessary questions, you can give a minimum of information.
Step 4
If you are confused about the salary requirements, discuss it verbally with the HR officer. Your agony is understandable, this is a very delicate topic. But you still need to answer after weighing the market situation. Always report honestly about your remuneration at your previous job. These data are usually verified or approximately known to the employer.
Step 5
Be wary of the question in the questionnaire about your character traits. Indicate the positive aspects honestly, but think carefully about the negative ones. You still have to answer, but you don't need to be overly frank either.
Step 6
Talk about your personal life very delicately and restrainedly. It is better to ask you about it orally than to regard what has been written as you like.
Step 7
When answering the questions in the questionnaire, never enter into an argument with the personnel officer. It is better to politely discuss questionable and incorrect questions, find a compromise.
