The Employment Application

An employment application is intended to allow an applicant to set out, in writing, their desire for a posiion, their qualifications for a position and their history which supports their qualifications. A handwritten application would give some information regarding grammar, penmanship, and spelling.

I submit that if the information contained in the application is not confirmed in some manner, it has little or no value in determining someone's suitability for employment. Even confirmation that the applicant is the person who actually handwrote the application is required to draw any sort of conclusion about grammar, penmanship, and spelling.

My score for an employment applications independant value in determining suitability is 0 unless confirmed. Error rate is based on the honesty and accuracy of the applicant.
