Job application

Post Reply New Topic

This might belong in Work/Job section, however, I already have a job and am trying to move up the ladder so to speak. Im a library page, and going to school to get my AAS degree. Everyone at work is encouraging me to go for these higher up jobs because Im smart and good at doing the higher up jobs.
I need the cash, but the thing is, even though Im smart, Im visually spatially screwed.

So that means that I have issues with reading and filling out job applications. Plus the application Im filling out for, might affect my College life, in the fact that I dont know if I can count the possible future library clerk job that Im going for, as my "work credits", and the instructors and my current bosses arent helping.

Plus the Clerk boss position is almost perfect hours, however I can see that the position(usually not flexible in hours/work locations) would interfere with future school work, and the Clerk boss wants me to get my degree, but she also wants me to try out for this job.

If I get this job what do I do? Tell my professors that I cant go to class during the alloted times?
Also if anyone can give me pointers* on filling out a COLLEGE LEVEL APPLICATION would be great?(*Resume, job reference papers, thank you notes, cover letters, etc, also my writing and reading skills are "weak" due to the "visual spatial disability".) The application has to be HAND FILLED out in Ink. The Clerk boss is also a perfectionist so making any mistakes on the application arent good.

Thanks in advance for reading this, and giving advice

First and foremost, get a pen with erasable ink. You might want to fill the application out lightly in pencil first, or make a copy of the application, fill out the copy, wait a few days, come back to look at it to make sure it's perfect, have someone else look it over, then copy the information onto the original application, the one you are going to turn in.

Discuss the possible scheduling conflicts with the clerk boss.
