An employer needs to be very careful when processing applications. Each application should be read and analysed with key points highlighted. The applicant's resume should be carefully read, noting:
- any gaps in employment history?
- type of responsibility that the person has had?
- what achievements have they reached?
- has there been any pattern in their employment history?
- has the applicant had employment stability?
These questions and many others are posed in the paper in three pages, under the following headings:
- Reading The Applications
- Review The Applications
- Referees
- What Was The Applicant’s Accountability In Previous Positions?
- Review Educational Qualifications - Are They Appropriate For This Position?
- Drafting Questions For Interview
- Decide Who To Interview
- Declining An Applicant Without An Interview
- together with a suggested standard letter, included as an Addendum, declining an application without an interview.
