The Job Application
By Cathy Pearl
  

1     Sue wanted to get a job at the grocery store. She went into the store and asked for an application. She brought the application home and sat at the kitchen table. Sue wanted to get it filled out right away. Sue knew that she needed to fill it out in pen. The pen had to be blue or black. It couldn't be any other color like red, pink, or orange. Sue wanted her application to look businesslike.
 
2     Sue started at the top. Her name and address were the first things she needed wrote down. Sue was careful. She needed to make sure everything was spelled correctly. If she spelled something wrong, the store might not want to hire her. She didn't want that to happen.
 
3     Sue also needed to fill in her phone number. She made sure to write it very clearly. The store might call her for an interview. Sue wanted to make sure they could reach her.
