The application for employment that is suggested for analysis has a number of advantages and disadvantages. First of all, the application provides very detailed information, so that an employer gets practically all the information about potential workers, which will help to predict how hard-working, responsible, sensible, cooperative, and easy-going they are. The first part of the application for employment is a standard one. It provides employers with general information about potential workers. The first part of the application form is very well constructed and provides employers with personal information of potential employees. However, it has a number of drawbacks that should be corrected. There are a few sentences that are too long.

More than that, the information concerning children should be used, as it indicates whether potential workers will have to ask for permission to leave a working place earlier sometimes for a number of reasons that will be connected with their children. The information concerning personal skills and abilities is missing as well. It is vitally important for an employer to know personal skills of potential workers. Personal skills will help identify the working atmosphere within a company. It is vitally important to realize that potential workers are friendly, optimistic reliable, calm, and sensitive, as these features of character will help them find a common language, help each other, support each other, provide them with useful recommendations, and so on and so forth. A clever employer will never employ aggressive workers, as they will spoil the working atmosphere and will not contribute to the development of a company.
