Summary

A group lesson plan that teaches job seekers how to complete a job application correctly and avoid common mistakes that can cost an interview. Uses a sample application with errors, a short video, and guided practice with a blank application to cover what employers look for, what information to prepare in advance, and how to present work and education details clearly and honestly. Encourages creating a master list of dates and job history to speed future applications, notes that many applications are online, and connects participants to Skill Up Tennessee for job training and employment support.
