Can someone help me fill in my job application form?

[Pikaboo]

Hello, I know this is a stupid question to ask here. But may someone kindly help me fill in my part time/full time job application online? My grammar sucks really REALLY bad and I don't want to mess up. I need this job to support my sister college fund and I need the money to bring food on the table. My current jobs pay currently pays me £3.91 per hour and that is bad, most of the time we are hungry and never full and im really upset about this because I really want the best for my sister. My mom and dad are divorce and we both live with our nanny.

I need to fill in some details online questions like 'Give us an example of exceptional customer service you have either provided or received and how this was delivered?' 'Tell us about a time you have taken on extra responsibilities, how did you go about achieving those new goals?' I need some good examples. I have those skills but I don't know how to write it up. May someone please help me with this? Can you shoot me a PM and I will give you the questions? I really really appreciate the help! I really do. Like I said I need help because I can't construct a sentence probably because my English is terrible.

Tell us about a time you have taken on extra responsibilities

Well there was this time I asked someone else to fill out my job application because I was lazy. Oh wait nevermind.

BTW do you really mean £3.91 because that is below minimum wage. Where do you work?

Hello, yes I am serious. They pay me £3.91. I work at a restaurant. They treat me like a slave and I have to put up with it otherwise I would get sacked. I know this is minimum wage but what can I do really?
I really need help filling in my application form. I did well in school, but I have a grade D in English and I pass every subject but not English.
I am 23 btw.

I'll do one of them. Just to give you an example of proper English sentence structure. The rest you'll have to do yourself. Afterall, you'll not be misrepresenting me as yourself to these poor sobs will you?

Tell us about a time you have taken on extra responsibilities, how did you go about achieving those new goals?

Once upon a time long, long ago I was set to go on a trip to a land far, far away. I dreaded the absolutely horrible new screening fiasco the TSA set us up at the airport in Move Zig, LA. Now granted, it's not my responsibility to "entertain the troops" as it were, but I took on this responsibility anyway in the hopes that I could lift the spirits of those less emotionally fortunate than I. So I had the word douche engraved in large letters on my baggage. I don't think I need to tell you the smiles, laughter and giggles including the snide remarks along the lines of: "Look! That man is carrying around a douchebag!" that were had that day. Many a children's ear were covered by their parents that day my friends.

Why not write the stuff out yourself, since you are the one that will be applying, and ask someone to proofread it for you before submitting it?

You could be honest and write "I asked random strangers on an online forum to fill this part out for me but they refused so I'm leaving this section blank." It might not get you hired, but at least it's an accurate representation of you to potential employers. I mean, how do you expect us to fill out something that is supposed to be personal to your experience?

 

[SlitheryDee]

Don't you think that the reason your grammar is bad is because you do things like this instead of putting your head down and working to fix it? If you default to taking the easy way out your whole life this is where you end up. How about you take this as an opportunity to better yourself? If your sister's college and your ability to feed yourself is really riding on your ability to fill out an application, then you're probably never going to have a better reason to gain the skills necessary to do it.

 

[Brainonska511]

To add, if you want to improve your writing and grammar, consider reading more books and newspapers and take the time to write and say things properly. You'll expose yourself to things that are more properly written and slowly build the habit and skills to write and say things correctly.

Oh yes, this will absolutely end well.

If you are 23; then what have you been doing for the past 10+ years to not learn to communicate well.

You have known you have a problem with the language (I expect that English is not your primary language) and did not attempt to correct the issue.

If English is your primary language (even worse); then you have done this problem to yourself.

If your sister is going to college; then ask her for help.

And if you get a job; they will be able to tell immediately that you application is false by the way you communicate and you are out the existing job as well as the new job.

'Give us an example of exceptional customer service you have either provided or received and how this was delivered?' 'Tell us about a time you have taken on extra responsibilities, how did you go about achieving those new goals?'

I can help you. For these questions, simply answer "I established a stance of dominance." That answer should work for all questions.

That might get a little repetitive, so to keep it fresh, you might try drawing a picture of yourself assuming a stance of dominance to give them a better idea of what you bring to the table.

You should quote him in case he felt like going back to edit the evidence

I'm 26 and I'm still going strong. I grind on Diablo for 6 hours a day ;D

Long story short. I'm living in a student house for college and I decided to leave college therefore leaving the house too. I have signed a 11 month contract. I have emailed my landlord telling him that I want to break the contract etc. I have some question to ask but I'm really really confused what he sent me. If anyone here good with this kind of stuff can you give me a PM? I will copy and paste the email he sent me too. Really appreciated. I'm really stressed out here and I need some expert advice
(im 19 and im clueless about this kind of stuff)

So it's not just English he has a problem with; math's pretty tricky too.

Dear diary,

Today, I am going to play a rather comical prank on the fellows of the internet,... I shall cleverly establish that I am a person who is in dire need of assistance to fill out an online form, seeking employment.

I shall state I am poor, mistreated and in the throngs of despair and misery, so they may (under false impressions - heh, heh, heh,..) come to my aid.

Details of my success shall be entered in this diary shortly!

Thanks! I am not too good at the mulitquote thing. I am 49 after all and I did not learn to use a computer until I was 61. But then the first computer I bought when I was 35 was a POS.

i dont give my real age online hence why I lied. Who dosent lie on the Internet forums?
Some of you people are horrible. I am sad.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Dear diary,

Some quite interesting developments have transpired!

The fellows on the internet are accusing me fibbing! But, I will not allow them to expose me,.. for the game is still afoot!!

I am now pretending to have had my feelings hurt, to further manipulate them! I am bordering on byzantine-esque villainy,.. but, I simply can not help myself!!

How do we know you're not lying about this job application?

So instead of simply not stating an age, you think lying is better? Perhaps that's another trait you should consider adding to your "job application".

1/10 made me read, not more because too absurd to be real.
