Consequently, your application should be done in a way that gives the reader a good idea about your qualifications and interests. Every application is something special and personal. However, an application should definitely meet three requirements: It must be orderly. It must be well structured, and it must be complete.
- ‘Orderly’ means that you should carefully check your text for phrasing and spelling mistakes!

Why are you interested in the job, and what are your expectations? And what makes you specially qualified for the job? Your resume should be written in a tabular form, beginning with your latest employer.
- ‘Complete’ means that an application includes a cover letter, a resume and important letters of recommendation as well as any other information required as student enrollment status or graduation certificate. Give your application a personal touch.
