This is a very common mistake that people do; they forget to sign the form. In some cases, the form might require three signatures but because you overlook it, you may only provided one signature.

Filling up a form online is much better, using Adobe Reader, since the form you fill up online has a barcode that will speed up and accurately gather information that you have provided. Compared to handwritten application forms, it would be much easier for you to update your information as well when done online.

Not Providing A Cover Letter
