Filling Out All Types of Applications

There will be a lot of applications you need to fill out as an adult. This could be an application for:

• Jobs
• Bank account
• Credit card
• An apartment
• DVR
• DDD
• Car loan

Most people dread filling out applications, but it is a necessary task in order to have access to things in the list above.

Most applications are different, but they usually all have the following pieces:

• Name
• Birthday
• Home address (street, city, state, zip code)
• Phone (home, cell)
• Social Security number
• Email
• Work (business name, address, phone, when you started working there, supervisor's name)
• Education (high school, years attended, any post-secondary schooling)

Since almost all applications have the items above, you need to have them MEMORIZED! If there are any of the above items you do not have memorized yet, try coming up with a strategy to remember them (Brett can help here).

Practice filling out an application by grabbing a job application from the Transition Planning lab.
