what does { ESSENTIAL RE FERAL} mean when found on a job application form. thank you.?

Answer 1

The correct word is 'referral'.
Job applications usually require you to give the name of a person who knows you, your work, character, etc. as a referral (or referee). The employer is free to check with this person about your suitability for the job applied for.
Many companies would prefer the referee to be a person with whom you had worked in your earlier job, as it would help them to assess your suitability for work. Normally, a referee should not be a relative.

Answer 2

It means that your prospective employer will contact your previous employer(s) to ask about you.

Typically:

1. "Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig."

2. "I would not allow this employee to breed."

3. "This employee is really not so much of a 'has-been', but more of a definite 'won't be'."

8. "This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."

9. "This employee should go far, and the sooner he starts, the better."

10. "Got a full six pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together."

11. "A gross ignoramus, which is 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus."

12. "He doesn't have ulcers, but he's a distributor."

13. "I would like to go hunting with him sometime."

14. "He's been working with glue too much."

15. "He would argue with a signpost."

16. "He brings a lot of joy whenever he leaves the room."

17. "When his IQ reaches 50, he should sell."

18. "If you see two people talking and one looks bored, he's the other one."

20. "A prime candidate for natural de-selection."

21. "Donated his brain to science before he was done using it."

22. "Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming."

23. "He's got two brain cells, one is lost and the other is out looking for it."

24. "If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week."

25. "If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change."

26. "If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean."

27. "It's hard to believe he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm."

29. "Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled."

30. "Takes him two hours to watch '60 Minutes.'"

Answer 3

I presume this is the same as Essential Criteria. This means criteria you must fulfil in order to be shortlisted for interview. If you don't dmeonstrate how you fulfil the essential criteria you won't be considered for interview. This is one of the most important parts of the application form.

Eg "Must have working knowledge of Microsoft Office".
Here you would need to stipulate what ;programs you are familiar with (ie Word, Excel, Access, Outlook etc) and also state how often you use them (ie daily, weekly etc) and for what purpose (eg Word - letters, mail merge; Outlook - e-mailing customers; Excel - doing the office accounts, etc).

Hope this is useful.

Answer 4

It means that you have to put referals on your application, such as former employers, friends, former co-workers. People who know you and your work ethic and character, but not family members.
