job applications
Hire-me forms
Job applications are formal requests for employment, typically including personal information, work history, and qualifications submitted to a potential employer.
The term covers both the process and the documents themselves: I spent all weekend filling out job applications, Her job application was rejected.
The phrase often implies the tedious, repetitive nature of job hunting—submitting many applications with uncertain results.
