“Eligible for rehire” means that a former employer would consider hiring you again. On a job application the field usually asks, for each previous job, whether you are eligible for rehire there, and the honest answer is “Yes” if you left on good terms (resigned with notice, contract ended, laid off, relocated) and “No” or […]
“Designation” on an application form means your job title or official position: the name of the role you hold, such as “Sales Executive”, “Registered Nurse”, “Assistant Manager” or “Software Engineer”. If you are not employed, write “Student”, “Self-employed”, “Homemaker” or “Not currently employed” rather than leaving it blank. Where the form asks for the designation […]
For “date available” on a job application, write the earliest specific date you could realistically start work: “Immediately” or today’s date if you are not working, or a date two to four weeks out if you need to give notice at a current job. Use a real calendar date rather than a vague phrase, make […]
For “areas of interest” on a job application, write the types of work, departments or roles you would like to be considered for, phrased to match the employer’s business: “Customer service, front desk, and scheduling”, “Warehouse operations and forklift roles”, “Marketing, content writing, and social media”.

Lead with the achievement most relevant […]
For “reason for leaving” on a job application, write a short, honest, neutral phrase that looks forward rather than back, such as “Seeking career growth,” “Contract ended,” “Position eliminated,” “Relocated,” “Returned to school” or “Better opportunity.” Keep it to a few words, never criticize a former employer, and make sure it matches what you would […]
“May we contact your current employer?” on a job application asks whether the hiring company has your permission to call or email the employer you work for now, usually to confirm your job title and dates or to ask for a reference. Answering “No” is common and normally acceptable, because most employers understand you may […]
When a self-appraisal or goal-setting form asks “What support do you need to achieve your goals?”, name the specific resources, people and changes that would help you reach each goal, and link each one to a result. A strong answer sounds like: “To lead the Q3 product launch, I’d like monthly check-ins with you, access […]
On a reference form, “relationship to applicant” asks how you know the person you are recommending.
