Good to see you in the right forum, B. You'll get lots of good information here.

If I were you, I would at least type it. The more work you put into it, the more they'll believe you want to work there.

You might also find a place that does it like I did, a commercial place. Once I learned how to use the software, it was actually easier than typing. You just have to make sure you have no spelling errors before you print it.

I'll e-mail it to you once I get home during these days off.

Good luck.

Grrr

Hi BUCBOY

I am not in CX however I have an active application with them. I may be on the wrong track but here goes.

You send them a CV (personal) with all you qualifications, experience and so on. Unless you are a very good writer I would stick to ole faithful Microsoft Word and a printer.

They review it and if seen competitive enough you get sent a CX Application form with your own Reference number. This application is about 6 pages from memory and alot of columns to fill in. Not sure if this is what you were talking about but it would seem impracticle to type this. Use a pen and write neatly as it goes thru a u - beaut computer scanner I believe.

Update forms are included also.

Hope that helps mate....Good Luck

Hi guys,

type up your initiall cover letter and CV definately, but before you go off and get your official application form typed have a very good read of it and the instructions, when i went through a few years back it said applic was to be hand written. If it is still the case thats what you should be doing.

Cheers

hand written is recommended for the application form. but for the resume and CV u should ( or must) type them.

I would be surprised or amazed if someone would spend so much time on typing up the application form.. (that might show your dedication.... lol.. but thats sucha a waste of time 2)..

neways. good luck with that.

C-152.. so proud of you.. wonder when i can be your collegue eh?!!?!?!?
