Tips for Applying for jobs on the Internet

• Many online applications require you to have an email account in order to register on their application website.
• If you do not have an email address, you can create one. Here are some suggested places to create a web-based email account: Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail
• When using an email address in your application or resume, make sure you use a professional sounding email address. Nobody wants to hire someone with the email address “cutiepants29@email.com.”
• If applying for a job with a corporation, look for an employment or careers link at the bottom of the page 
• Some online applications require you to register on their website when creating your resume to send to them.
• When submitting information online, always double-check your spelling before you click submit! If you aren’t sure about your spelling, you can copy and paste your text into Word, run spell check, then copy and paste the corrected version back into your application.
• Many online applications are timed. If you take too long filling out an application, you may have to start over. Come prepared with your personal information and work history so that you will be ready to fill in information quickly to avoid this stress.
